Oscar-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (“The Social Network,” “A Few Good Men,” “The West Wing”) is set to write the screenplay adaptation of the best-selling Steve Jobs biography written by Walter Isaacson.
“Sony reportedly paid $1 million for the rights to the biography, picking it up in October. The book was Amazon’s best-selling title of 2011 and, according to Publisher’s Weekly, 2.2 million copies were sold last year,” details The Hollywood Reporter.
The biopic about Apple’s co-founder will be produced by Scott Rudin, Mark Gordon and Guymon Casady.
It has long been rumored that Sorkin would take on the project. Sony had expressed interest in signing him since as early as November.
This is not the only Steve Jobs film in the works. Inferno Entertainment is selling “Jobs,” a $5 million indie starring Ashton Kutcher.
