- STEVE JOBS FILM
Following the tragic news of his passing earlier this week,
Deadline is reporting that Sony Pictures has begun negotiations to turn the
life of Steve Jobs into a feature film.
The project, still in the early stages, would be based on
the upcoming biography, "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson, set to be
released later this month. Fully authorized, the book is officially described
as follows:
“Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted
over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members,
friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a
riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of
a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive
revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music,
phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.
At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its
innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build
digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and
applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the
twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a
company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of
engineering.
Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no
control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was
published. He put nothing off-limits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak
honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he
worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an
unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry,
and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and the
innovative products that resulted.
Driven by demons, Jobs could drive those around him to fury
and despair. But his personality and products were interrelated, just as
Apple's hardware and software tended to be, as if part of an integrated system.
His tale is instructive and cautionary, filled with lessons about innovation,
character, leadership, and values.”
Steve Jobs is truly a legend, and you can be sure that we
will follow this story closely. R.I.P Steve…
