Shortly after the revolutionary entrepreneur’s death, Sony Pictures is haggling for the rights to an upcoming Steve Jobs biography, written by CNN chairman and Time editor Walter Isaacson.
Reportedly, the book was originally slated to release on November 21st, but its release date has been pushed up to October 24th. A biography about an icon like Steve Jobs would be a sure fire hit, even if he hadn’t passed away.
The book contains interviews with Jobs and conversations with those who knew him. With the little information known, it seems like there’s more than enough material to make a riveting screenplay out of the life of such a captivating man.
Sony Pictures produced both The Social Network and Moneyball, so if they manage to snag the Steve Jobs biography, I’m sure the end result will be quite good.
The big question is, who should play Steve Jobs?
