Steve Jobs Movie

Set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival at the end this month, the jOBS biopic starring Ashton Kutcher as the titular Steve Jobs, now has a date on which you can expect its wider release. Or at least a month: April 2013.

Aaron Sorkin, who is writing the upcoming Steve Jobs biopic, revealed some details of the film while speaking at The Daily Beast’s Hero Summit. The film will take place over three scenes, each thirty minutes long, and all told in real time. Each scene will be backstage at a different product launch, the original Macintosh, the NeXT cube, and the iPod.

This is me putting my hands in my pockets, turning my head, and smiling. And it's because Sony Pictures has announced that Aaron Sorkin will be writing the script for Steve Jobs, adapted from Walter Isaacson's best-selling biography.

Aaron Sorkin is legitimately brilliant, and the writer behind TV's Sports Night, The West Wing, Studio 60, and the upcoming The Newsroom, as well as the movies Malice, A Few Good Men, The American President, and the recent The Social Network about Mark Zuckerberg and the founding of Facebook.
