Geek Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/steve-jobs-movie1.jpg" alt="Steve Jobs biography as a movie" title="steve-jobs-movie" width="300" height="269" class="alignright size-full wp-image-22158" /> Sony Pictures Entertainment has bought the rights to make a movie on Steve Jobs life, based on the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/06/steve-jobs-biography-release-due-october-24-skyrockets-to-top-of-best-seller-lists/">upcoming biography</a> by Walter Isaacson. While this was initially a rumor, the <a href="http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/08/sony-is-said-to-buy-film-rights-to-jobs-biography/?smid=tw-nytimes&seid=auto">New York Times</a> has since confirmed the news:</p> <blockquote><p> The studio late this week concluded a deal to buy film rights to the authorized biography “Steve Jobs,” from Walter Isaacson, according to a person who was briefed on the deal and spoke on the condition of anonymity because the studio had not authorized a public statement.</p></blockquote> <p>Isaacson has been reportedly paid $1 million in advance for the rights, and another $2 million will go his way if and when the movie is produced. There is no word yet on a filming or release schedule. </p> <p>It’s hard to anticipate the style of film, but Sony Pictures Entertainment is the same movie studio that produced <em>The Social Network</em>, the dramatic and darkly intriguing film about Mark Zuckerberg and the founding of Facebook that garnered critical acclaim and won several Oscars. </p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mPYihQJ49wpxnuhZLGUq6pfMLvk/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mPYihQJ49wpxnuhZLGUq6pfMLvk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mPYihQJ49wpxnuhZLGUq6pfMLvk/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/mPYihQJ49wpxnuhZLGUq6pfMLvk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=XIa5JmytNkE:wG-AwrOgcwY:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=XIa5JmytNkE:wG-AwrOgcwY:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=XIa5JmytNkE:wG-AwrOgcwY:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=XIa5JmytNkE:wG-AwrOgcwY:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=XIa5JmytNkE:wG-AwrOgcwY:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=XIa5JmytNkE:wG-AwrOgcwY:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=XIa5JmytNkE:wG-AwrOgcwY:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/XIa5JmytNkE" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
