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. For more movie
