Danny Boyle in Talks to Direct Steve Jobs Biopic; Leonardo DiCaprio Possibly Starring
Danny Boyle isn't giving Steve Jobs the Hollywood treatment. The Oscar-winning director of such films as Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire captures many of the ugly details of Jobs's life and career in the new movie Steve Jobs, which hits theaters Friday. The premiere comes just a month after the release of director Alex Gibney's documentary, Steve Jobs: Man in the Machine, but Boyle doesn't mind following Gibney's film. His position is: the more Jobs movies, the better. Why? Large corporations like Apple are "the new banks, " according to Boyle, and their leaders are public figures. "You've got to make stuff about these people, because you can see that governments are frightened of them, literally, " Boyle says. "Who's going to actually hold these people to account? " While Boyle concedes that Aaron Sorkin's screenplay had to embellish some details for the purposes of telling Jobs's story in two hours, he asserts that everything in the movie is rooted in fact. "There's a lot omitted, but there's nothing really outrageously invented, " he says.

Apple CEO Tim Cook seems less than pleased about the release of two movies about Jobs. He recently described Boyle and Gibney as "opportunistic" during an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. "I defend the right of Alex Gibney and me and Aaron Sorkin to write about these people, " Boyle says, adding that the way Apple and other large companies control their own mythology is unhealthy. "Of course they don't like it. They like control. " One individual from the film Boyle defends is Steve Wozniak, who clashed with Jobs frequently over his inability to be "decent" to various Apple engineers. "Woz is correct to say, 'It ain't 'binary, ' " Boyle says. "You can be decent and gifted at the same time. " Despite disagreeing with Jobs's harsh style of leadership, Boyle says he does see similarities between the way Jobs ran Apple and the way directors make films. "The stuff that Woz says to him--'You can't program, you're not an engineer, '--that's all true of a film director, " Boyle says.

Even though Jobs ended up losing his life to cancer, his rise to popularity is still very much a success story, and one that Boyle should feel right at home telling.

'Slumdog Millionaire' director Danny Boyle is in talks to helm the Steve Jobs biopic for Sony, which might star Leonardo DiCaprio. American entrepreneur and inventor Steve Jobs passed away almost three years ago, but his legacy continues to live on in the technology he helped build and the minds he inspired. Starting off as a college dropout before founding the world's second largest tech company, Apple, his life story is one that Sony Pictures is eager to see told following the studio's success with The Social Network, which detailed Mark Zuckerberg's creation of Facebook and won three Academy Awards. Just a month ago, it seemed that The Social Network director David Fincher and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin would reteam for this new movie. Those negotiations fell through, however, when Fincher reportedly asked for $10 million up front and control over marketing, leaving the studio with little choice but to search for a new director. Now it appears they may have already found another option.
I can confirm that talks are down the road with Danny Boyle on the Aaron Sorkin-scripted Steve Jobs movie at Sony, based on Walter Isaacson's book. The deal is by no means sealed, but the studio is moving quickly to get this to the start line. A report in THR says Leonardo DiCaprio is the choice to star, and his name was in circulation at the very beginning when the book first was optioned by Sony with producers Mark Gordon and Guymon Casady, who were joined by Scott Rudin when Sorkin came aboard to adapt. DiCaprio just committed to The Revenant with Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu for fall, so the timing might not work. But this is a movie on a very fast track. Boyle's repped by WME.
