David Fincher has been rumoured to be in talks about directing a bio-pic about the late Apple founder, Steve Jobs.
Fincher also directed the critically acclaimed bio-pic of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, The Social Network, and so would be a welcome choice.
The film is an adaptation of Walter Isaacson’s best-selling biography titled “Steve Jobs”.
The script has been written by Aaron Sorkin, who also wrote the script for The Social Network.
Steve Job’s life would make for an interesting film, having founded apple, being fired from apple, then returning to save it from its hard times.
There was a Job’s bio-pic released last year, staring Aston Kutcher…but it seems Sony is hoping everyone forgets about that, which I’ve no doubt everyone has tried.
It’s very early stages however, as it’s also rumoured that Fincher has hardly been in talks at all, with Deadline reporting he’s only read the script and nothing more.
The film is expected to start production towards the end of this year, here’s hoping it does justice to such an influential man.
