We are waiting for a new film about Steve Jobs?

Sony Pictures is negotiating the purchase of rights to make a film about Steve Jobs. The film company plans to film the biographical book of the journalist Walter Isaacson (Walter Isaacson), which will be released in late October. Perhaps today it is one of the most anticipated books to come out. Despite the fact that it has not yet come out, pre-orders on Amazon brought it to the TOP 50 bestsellers.

The book is the result of more than two years of interviews with Steve himself, his family, friends, colleagues and even competitors. Regarding her there is a remarkable fact. Despite the fact that Jobs was very keen on making editorial corrections to articles relating to him or Apple before they were published, in the case of this book, he asked not to let him read it before she saw the light. And it is very a pity that he would never have to read it.

Presumably, the film company may pay for the rights to the film version from $ 1 million to $ 3 million. Last year, Sony Pictures successfully released a film about creating a social network Facebook (Social Network) and now expects to get the opportunity to show viewers the story of Steve Jobs.
To date, the only film about Apple and Steve Jobs is The Silicone Valley Pirates, released in 1999.

After the release of the news about the planned adaptation of the blogs began to actively discuss the actors who could play Steve. The role offered as Noah Wiley (Noah Wyle), has already played him in the "Pirates", and very unexpected contenders: Edward Norton, Ashton Kutcher and even Tom Cruise.
For me, it remains unclear why Disney studio has not yet shown interest in this film adaptation. After all, Steve was her co-owner.
