Sean: where does it show I’m complaining? I’m just stating what’s true about Sorkin’s writing style.

You guys are crazy; Jobs story has everything for a good biopic. dawn of a new era in the new west. adoption issues. lost siblings. parents recognize genius early on and letting Jobs define path. epic high school pranks. hacking and LSD use. weird bathing and eating rituals. intense passion and leaving them high and dry. going to college but checking out. trips to India and cult farms. advancing the computer in a steamy garage. AND THAT WAS BEFORE HE STARTED APPLE!!!

So if you loved those movies, why are you complaining?

I don’t get the people who are obsessed with the factual inaccuracies of The Social Network and Moneyball. It’s like they’d prefer a boring movie that was 100% true right down to every line of dialogue.

“Sorkin has a way of turning potentially dull true stories into something compelling and cinematic, and hopefully this will be no different.”

Basically a nice way of saying “Aaron Sorking over-embellishes and makes a lot of stuff up when writing scripts based on true stories.”

Don’t get me wrong, I loved Social Network and Moneyball, but let’s call a spade a spade.

@1128sw. Can’t tell if that’s sarcastic or just ridiculous.

This is such a fantastic story and this opportunity to tell it is like no other. The Social Network didn’t have a nearly as interesting backbone to it – only Sorkin had the wit and imagination to make it a story of court cases – it could’ve been just a movie about harvard and hacking.

Now Sorkin has one of the greatest stories ever.

Are people really interested in seeing a movie about Jobs? Granted the guy created one of the greatest companies in American history after being ousted, from his own company, in the early 90’s, generating Billions in cash and revolutionizing the tech industries.

But are people gonna pay bucks to see job’s story? I love apple but I don’t even know if I would see it.

This essentially makes the Kutcher one nonexistent, if it wasn’t already.

I would be thrilled if Fincher signed on for this one, and with the next two Millenium movies (assuming he’s involved) shooting in the fall, the scheduling might sync up.
