Sony Drops Aaron Sorkin's Steve Jobs Movie, Universal May Take Over [Updated]

[attila]

By all accounts I have read, Jobs was not a very nice person on a personal level. I, for one, am pretty much done with the all the hero worship surrounding him. He built people friendly computers and developed an iPhone, great. How did he treat his family?

I would rather the production companies focus their resources on someone whose life impacted the both world, and people, in a positive way. The two are not mutually exclusive.

On the contrary - movie about a man who can be caring and an utter nutter within the same minute sounds like an interesting movie to me!

Sadly no movie seem to be able to fit the incredibly vibrant story of Steve Jobs.

time to just let it go....

Finally, maybe now we'll stop getting constant front-page posts about this thing. I gave up on it the moment I heard it was being planned.

Didn't ge refuse to acknowledge he was the father of his daughter for many years ? Dispute DNA tests proving it?

He also bought his way into getting a nice liver ( or what ever it was ) instead of being on the waiting list like everyone else ( probably caused the death of someone who was actually waiting for it as well)

There is also the fact it doesn't seem like he donated much of his billions he probably had , compared to the legend of bill gates who will probably he remembered forever for not only his bringing billions of computers to the rich and the poor, but the foundation he and his wife have created that will save the lives of millions and give people a chance in life.


Steve jobs was a **** , a great great leader and mind , who knew what people will want before they even knew themselves , and he was also a great speaker with lots of charisma.

I think you'll find there is a wealth of info out there that shows Steve in a different light

He gave heaps but kept it quiet. He didn't seek the spotlight for his donations. Yes he had moments of being a **** as you put it, and he also had moments of being humble, showing humility, and moments of leading, and moments of innovating. No one is ever good or bad. We are a combination. On balance I think Steve was a great human being who expected a lot and gave a lot.

You didn't mention that Jobs died with 1/6th the net worth of Gates even though Apple is a much more valuable company and most of that net worth was from Disney stock, not Apple. He ran Apple because he loved the company and its products, not to get rich. How many CEOs can claim that?

There was a lot I didn't mention. I thought some key points might be useful for the prior person posting.
