It’s official: Aaron Sorkin will write ‘Steve Jobs’ movie for Sony

It was well known that Aaron Sorkin was interested in writing a Steve Jobs movie – based on the book of the same name by Walter Isaacson.

Now it’s official!

Variety confirmed the news this evening with Sony.

Steve Jobs was released just a matter of weeks after the Apple founder’s death in October. It features endless interviews with Jobs from over a period of several years, and exposed many inside secrets about his character and business.

This film is not to be confused with the smaller Steve Jobs film (not connected to the book) starring Ashton Kutcher.

Aaron Sorkin is one of the best screenwriters of the modern age. The Social Netowrk was one of the best of the decade and A Few Good Men, Moneyball, and The American President were also great. But can he really return to Harvard without treading on the same ground? He lacks versatility as it is, and sociopathic, billionaire genius Havard dropouts doesn’t leave much room for legwork. But in Sorkin we trust, so I’m game.

Although- Ashton Cutcher? Are we really expected to buy this?

  Jobs didn’t go to Harvard, he went to Reed College. Also, very different time period from Zuckerberg, and very different story.
  
  Kutcher’s in a different film than the one Sorkin is writing.
Sucked your mom’s tits

I went to the same high school as Jobs and a block away from the Apple headquarters so I hope they film near here cuz we seriously need some movie action in these quiet and nerdy valley neighborhoods!
