Aaron Sorkin, creator of "The West Wing" and writer of "The Social Network," has reportedly signed on to pen the script for an upcoming Steve Jobs biopic. Sony Pictures broke news of the partnership this week.
The biopic will be an adaptation of Walter Isaacson's best-selling biography on Jobs. This will be Sorkin's second biopic of a tech tycoon, as he also wrote the script for "The Social Network," a film about Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
"Steve Jobs's story is unique: he was one of the most revolutionary and influential men not just of our time but of all time," said Sony Pictures co-chairman Amy Pascal in a statement.
"There is no writer working in Hollywood today who is more capable of capturing such an extraordinary life for the screen than Aaron Sorkin; in his hands, we're confident that the film will be everything that Jobs himself was: captivating, entertaining and polarising."
