We will more-than-likely get to see a dramatically-reenvisioned depiction of Steve Job’s life on the big screen, courtesy of film studio Sony Pictures. Sony is reportedly bidding at least $3 million for film rights to the Steve Jobs biography that is set to release on October 24.
Steve has personally contributed to his 448-page biography so that it can be as factually representative of himself as possible. Walter Isaacso, Time Magazine editor, was specifically chosen by Steve to pen his simply-titled biography Steve Jobs.
The movie would tell the story of how two men began creating the most revolutionary company of all-time in a garage. For those familiar with Steve’s life, there are a number of twists and turns from the beginning that could lead to a very engrossing movie.
Sony Pictures’ films The Social Network and Moneyball, both based on a similar biographical format, have been box office as well as critical hits. It is rumored that Mark Gordon, producer of serval TV series including Grey’s Anatomy and Criminal Minds as well as films such as Saving Private Ryan and more recently Source Code, will be the main executive producer of Steve’s biopic.
Undoubtedly, all of the pieces are in place for the world to learn about Steve’s life in as compelling a way as possible. He deserves everyone who has had their life changed thanks to his many accomplishments to watch how his own life had unfolded.
