Oscar winning writer Aaron Sorkin has revealed
how he'll bring the life story of late Apple
co-founder Steve Jobs to the big screen in
a biopic planned by Sony.
(This is a different film from HYPERLINK "http://movies.ign.com/objects/131/131221.html"
jOBS, which is an indie movie shot this year
with Ashton Kutcher in the title role.)
The Sorking project, officially announced
this past May, is an adaptation of journalist
Walter Isaacson's best seller titled Steve
Jobs.
In a chat with The Daily Beast, Sorkin said,
"I hope I don't get killed by the studio for
giving too much away, but this entire movie
is going to be three scenes, and three scenes
only, that all take place in real time."
The three scenes will each take place backstage
before a product launch.
The first one will be for the Mac, the second
for offshoot computer company NeXT, and the
third and final one will be for the iPod.
And the film's final line will be a nod to
an Apple ad campaign: "Here's to the crazy
ones."
Aaron Sorkin is best known for writing The
Social Network, The West Wing, and the current
HBO series The Newsroom.
So, a Steve Jobs movie with only three long
scenes?
Could be interesting.
