How many of you remember the life changing epic film Jobs, starring Ashton Kutcher? I don’t either. But reports say Hollywood is trying to make another biopic of the Apple co-founder.
Sony Pictures is the movie house that scrambles to captain this highly anticipated project. But drama already surrounds it. Director David Fincher is out due to money disputes and creative disputes. One is he wanted Christian Bale to play Jobs, but due to contract issues, that’s not happening. Now they’re talking to Danny Boyle about the directing job. Rumor has it Boyle is talking to Leonardo DiCaprio about the lead role. These two worked together in the 2000 movie hit The Beach. This movie is written by Aaron Sorkin. He wrote the mega hit The Social Network, even won an Academy and Golden Globe for best screenplay.
If they just have to give the Jobs biopic another try, this is a good way to start.? I hope the Fincher and DiCaprio do lead this upcoming movie. Remember how successful The Beach was? Whose to say the same magic can’t strike twice? I don’t know what went wrong with Kutcher’s Jobs movie, but I hope this one goes better. If Sony Pictures pull this new Steve Jobs movie off, will you watch it?
