Last
month we reported that director David Fincher was eying the untitled
Steve Jobs biopic as his next project. Now it seems that director
will only come on board as director if Christian Bale signs on to
star.
The
biopic was adapted by Aaron Sorkin from Walter Isaacson's
best-selling biography, which is described as:
Based
on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as
well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends,
adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has
written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly
intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for
perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries:
personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing,
and digital publishing.
At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.
Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple's hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system. His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values.
