Aaron Sorkin 'Strongly Considering' Writing Jobs Movie
Aaron Sorkin has won an Oscar for his script about one tech guru -- Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in 'The Social Network' -- and today he may pen the biopic concerning the late Jobs. Sorkin told E! Online he's been requested to evolve Walter Isaacson's biography from the Apple cofounder. "The new sony has requested me to create the film and it is something I am strongly thinking about," Sorkin told the website. "At this time I am just within the thinking-about-it stages," he stated. "It is a really large movie and it will likely be an excellent movie regardless of who creates it." Sorkin, who also co-authored the 'Moneyball' script, states he's presently reading through Isaacson's 'Steve Jobs.' "He would be a great entrepreneur, he would be a great artist, an excellent thinker," Sorkin stated of Jobs, who died in October following a lengthy fight with pancreatic cancer. Latest gossips have Noah Wyle (who described Jobs inside a 1999 TV movie) and George Clooney competing for that lead role. Clooney was attached at some point to direct the war-on-terror court-room thriller 'Hamdan versus. Rumsfeld,' from the Sorkin script. And also the two Oscar those who win do share an appreciation of talky political dramas. [via E! Online] [Photo: Getty] Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook
