Aaron Sorkin has provided a glimpse of his plans for the Steve Jobs biopic he’s adapting for the big screen based on Walter Isaacson’s biography of the legendary Apple co-founder. He told Tina Brown today during the Newsweek/Daily Beast Hero Summit in Washington, D.C. that the movie will be three scenes only, all set before three major product launches. Here’s video of the interview:

Sorry, but this sounds lazy. And gimmicky. And a play, not a movie. I hope this changes, otherwise Sorkin will not have earned that last line. “Here’s to the trite ones,” however, yes.
Social Network was technically a few scenes, with lengthy flashbacks. I hope that’s what he’s talking about. Not to sound like the typical lizard brain movie goer of modern day, but just having 3 acts would seem boring, and Jobs would deserve a much more epic biopic.
Write it your way, Sorkin. I’m in.
But then again, I like The Newsroom, so what the hell do I know?
I’m sure he knows what he’s doing.
I bet it’s 300 pages of chatty
Zzzzzz…zzzzzz…..zzzzzzz….
Oh sorry, I fell asleep thinking about this…
Social Network was also kind of boring.
Steve Jobs had no respect for Aaron Sorkin, but Aaron’s ego just can’t quit. He is trying to appease himself – way too late.
This sounds fantastic. Being able to hear Jobs speak / elucidate prior to product launch will provide wonderful insight and tension (I’m sure there was a lot of conflict getting everything right at the last minute).
The beauty of Social Network was Aaron’s magical words mixed with the fluid and genius direction of Fincher. Add a very cool score and you have a major piece of work. Should have won the Academy Award for Best Picture, but that’s another conversation.
I expect the same from the Jobs film.
Saw Aaron on the United Flight to Dulles Wednesday before his interview.
Completely honorable guy, flying commercial.
Quite an inspiration for an aspiring screenwriter.
What a genius.
He’s so overrated; I hate his fantastical, unrealistic and idealized dialogue/characters. A real newsroom is nothing like “the Newsroom”, just like the White House is nothing like “the West Wing”. No one in the Navy says things like “You want the truth you can’t handle the truth” etc. To me the best movies TV shows are ones in which the characters act in a believable way and the stories have a ring of truth to them, but that’s just me!
