That was fast. Sony pictures just acquired the rights to create a movie out of the highly anticipated Steve Jobs bio by Walter Isaacson. With blockbusters like The Social Network and Money Ball, Sony seems the ideal fit to make the film.
Steve’s early life was first chronicled in a movie, along with Bill Gates in Pirates of Silicon Valley with ER star Noah Wyle playing Steve’s part. The portrayal was so close that Steve invited the actor to play the part on one of the company’s conferences (video below).
