Well, that didn't take long.
The Pixar visionary and co-founder of Apple died only two days ago and already Hollywood has the ball rolling with the inevitable biography film. Oddly enough, it is Sony Pictures (not Disney or even Pixar) that has snagged the feature film rights to the upcoming biography, "Steve Jobs," according to Deadline.
"Steve Jobs" is an authorized biography by former CNN chairman and Time Magazine managing editor Walter Isaacson. The book was originally supposed to be published on Nov. 21 but Simon & Schuster has (not surprisingly) moved it up to Oct. 24. The 448-page profile is based on over 40 interviews with the Apple co-founder and over 100 conversations with friends, family members, colleagues and competitors.
Actually, Sony is the perfect studio for this, having turned business-minded and tech-heavy true-life books into terrific pieces of mainstream entertainment with both "The Social Network" and "Moneyball."
So who's going to play Steve Jobs?...
