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.
