The Academy Award-winning screenwriter, Aaron Sorkin, recently turned in a script for a full-length feature film adaptation of Walter Isaacson’s biography of Apple cofounder Steve Jobs. The news was tacked on to a report discussing the renewal and final season Sorkin’s HBO drama series, “The Newsroom,” where Variety confirmed that the “Social Network” scribe has handed in a script for the currently unnamed Jobs project.
Details regarding the script are sparse, though Sorkin has stated previously that his Jobs biopic would be more of a painting than a photograph. In a 2012 interview at the AllThingsD’s D10 conference, Sorkin admitted to liking the challenge to writing a screenplay about the Beatles. He said the following regarding the matter:
"I'm probably going to instead identify the point of friction that appeals to me and write about that," Sorkin said, adding that Jobs was "an extremely complicated guy, that I know for sure."
The upcoming movie will be the second attempt at a Steve Jobs feature after Indie film, “Jobs” was met with poor reviews.
