I'd like to see the whole Social Network production team work on this. I'm sure Trent would agree, he is a huge Apple/Steve Jobs fan.
 
I doubt steve jobs would like his name being thrown around everything.

Cant wait for the steve jobs plush toys.
Steve jobs action figures.
Steve jobs cartoon series.
Steve jobs - how to be a genius book series.
Lil steve jobs for your kids to learn how to make it in life
Steve jobs mini series tv special
Steve jobs documentary- I was unwanted by my real parents and how I ruled teh world
Dummies- How to be steve jobs
How to conquer OCD and bring the steve jobs out of you.

Come on- for 30 years this man refused enything and everything and ket his life simple.
Now he is dead. Blogs are milking it every way possible and now a movie is to come out?

If your a real apple/ steve jobs fan this is not his legacy.

Nothing simple or elegant about the propoganda happening right now. The apple event should have ended
it all. That was fitting. This is milking.
 
Ugh. Sorkin is soooo overrated and cliche. I'd much rather have the Coen brothers do it.
 
DO NOT WANT.

Do you really want this guy to write this movie? The same person who wrote the screenplay for the Social Network, yet did not have even a facebook page? I'm not saying we should get an Apple fanboy to do this, but someone who is familiar with Apple products and lore. I watched the Social Network and I felt that it made geeky people look bad. Aaron Sorkin I feel will focus mostly on how Steve was a jerk and little on what mark he made in the history of tech.

Bad choice.
 
I hope Sony won't replace Apple products with sony products and pcs in this movie (they stuff The Social Network with sony product placements).

Maybe they'll sneak in one of their iPod docks or a Walkman to show how relevant they were in the 1980's.
 
Pirates of Silicon Valley pretty much filled my quota of "Great Movies about SJ" so I don't care if this sux
 
Loving all the Nexus Galaxy ads on the site, guys. :rolleyes:

Is Aaron Sorkin just pissed off all the time?

Being strung out on coke all the time will do that to you... or so I hear.
 
This is one of those times when I hope everything false into place to make for a great film. And I do hope Noah Wyle gets cast as Jobs again. That would be epic!

On another note, where the hell is Pirates of Silicon Valley on Blu-ray?!?! o_O

Nah, Christian Bale, hands down. He's got the wild eye and soul-searing passion that he brings to the screen.

I would only ever consider Noah Wyle for the part. You have to take in to consideration how close Jobs and Wyle got following the film, the peak of which the public saw when Noah impersonated Steve before (I believe) MacWorld.

If you really read up about Pirates Of Silicon Valley, you get an insight on just how personal Noah considered that role. He was relentless in getting every little detail, mannerism, and look just right. He perfected the role, and I would love to see him do it again on a more grand scale.

He's my only choice for the role, if he doesn't get it in this film, it would be a blind mistake on Sony's part, and a real disappointment which would make Pirates the better movie based on Noah's portrayal alone.
 
Wow. I never knew Sorkin's mom was a MacRumors fan. (Basing this on all the negative votes any post w/ a Sorkin criticism gets). What a great mom protecting her kid.
 
Come on!

If master idiot SUCKERBERG and his 1000 times more idiotic FACEBLOK deserved a movie, how come Steve should not get one ASAP?
