Score one more for Sony’s Steve Jobs biopic. The studio announced earlier this week that Oscar-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network) will be penning an adaptation of Walter Isaacson’s biography Steve Jobs—giving the project a major leg-up in contrast to the Ashton Kutcher-fronted indie biopic Jobs—and now the production has the involvement of a key Apple player. Moreover, Sorkin revealed that the film won’t be the standard biopic that some are expecting:
“I know so little about what I am going to write. I know what I am not going to write. It can’t be a straight ahead biography because it’s very difficult to shake the cradle-to-grave structure of a biography.”
Hit the jump for more, including the nature of Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak’s involvement on the project.
