Universal Studios Picks Up Aaron Sorkin's Steve Jobs Movie, Michael Fassbender to Star

By the time this movie gets done, no one's going to give a darn about it.

Intent vs. Perception

It's not intended to be an Apple fan film.

It's ultimately a film about Apple. Shooting it and editing it entirely with Apple products would be an interesting exercise and a tribute to its product line.

But the film's purpose is to drive ticket sales and product sales, thus creating Apple fans.

It's crazy Michael Fassbender has time to do this when he's also in pre-production for X-Men: Apocalypse, Prometheus 2 and Assassin's Creed. Busy man! He's a great actor, though, so he could totally do a good job with it. Kind of iffy about Seth Rogan but he played things pretty straight in Knocked Up so he could probably put the stoner act aside for this.

No. The decision to drop the Steve Jobs movie was announced last week. The hack happened yesterday.

Yup, read it wrong. Oh well...would have been a good theory...

Movies are entertainment.

I like documentaries.

I like documentaries.

I do too but they are still entertainment.

And in an unrelated, but significant bit of news: Sony was EPICALLY hacked, with the hacker group threatening to expose a ton of secrets from the megopoly.

Repeated dupes of the Playstation Network are nervous, and have every right to be. Once bitten...

Do the phantoms of the Three Stooges run the IT department at Sony? Film at eleven...

Just saw this, man Sony #gotWrekt.
They need to dump the windowz servers asap. Really they need to take their whole infrastructure and throw it away like the Canadian government did a few months ago when they got hacked and just start over.
