In fall of 2011, one of the world’s greatest visionaries and the great mind behind Apple’s innovative creations, Steve Jobs, passed away due to pancreatic cancer. And since Jobs led such a high profile life, people around the world wanted to know his life story, from his struggles to the success he has achieved during his time on earth. It wasn’t months later that Apple News released a statement to the press about the upcoming Steve Jobs biopic that they were working on. Since then, rumors and speculations have arisen in voluminous amounts flooding the online world. Who will play Steve Jobs? Who are the other characters in the movie? When will it be released? Who is set to produce the film? These are only some of the questions that arose when Apple News did their press release.

Steve Jobs’ Life and Impact On Modern Technology

Almost all people know who Jobs is and what he contributed to our world, from his personal computer revolution to Apple’s bestselling gadgets, such as the iPhone and iPad. Without Steve Jobs and his brilliant and world-changing ideas, we wouldn’t have personal computers as advanced today or mouse-driven graphic user interface that has led to the invention of the Apple Lisa. However, Steve Jobs wasn’t only known for his brilliant work in Apple. His past careers included creating NeXT computer after a power struggle with Apple and working with Pixar and Disney for a couple of years. These are only some of the things that make Jobs’ life so interesting and intriguing that a film about his life story was in order.

Aaron Sorkin Slotted to Write the Script

After the speculations that Jobs’ life story would be turned into a movie, Sony immediately swept off the rights in working in this project. And guess who’s the top pick to write the screenplay? Aaron Sorkin, who is known for his screenplay work in A Few Good Men, The West Wing and his most recent, The Social Network. Apparently, this particular project will be a film that Sony would want on the fast lane. However, as reported by Cinema blend and E!Online, the screenplay director stated, “Right now I’m just in the thinking-about-it-stages. It’s a really big movie and it’s going to be a great movie no matter who writes it.” Though the statement is quite logical and true, not everyone would be able to pull off portraying Jobs’ life. Whichever the case may be, this upcoming biopic is definitely a promising one, given that it is managed by the right hands.

Who Will Star?

Another rumor flooding the streets is that George Clooney and Noah Wyle are battling it out to play the part of Steve Jobs. The rumor and question of whom will be a better star to play the part of Jobs has been addressed by mixed reviews and opinions. For Noah Wyle, his experience in playing as Steve Jobs in Pirates of Silicon Valley was rated as sort of good. Moreover, Noah looks somewhat similar to the late Steve Jobs, making him one of the top choices for the role. On the other hand, George Clooney is by nature a really good actor. However, his face is less identical with Jobs’. Depending on the right writer, director, cast and crew, it may be a film that will go down in history, since Jobs is a figure unparalleled in the modern world.
