Commenting on the announcement, Pascal said, "Steve
Jobs' story is unique: he was one of the most revolutionary and influential men
not just of our time but of all time. 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
polarizing."
Sorkin won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for
his work on The Social Network. His other screenplays include Moneyball,
Charlie Wilson's War, The American President, Malice, and A Few Good Men.
