David Fincher in talks to direct Aaron Sorkin's Steve Jobs biopic
To say that jOBS was a disappointment is an understatement. Love him or hate him, late Apple head honcho Steve Jobs is an incredibly interesting personality (and he did amazing things for the polo neck sweater market), which made it quite surprising that a movie about his life was anything but. In contrast, the story of one of Jobs’ contemporaries, Mark …

We review Jobs – A clumsy, superficial biopic that leaves you frustrated in its ommisions
Whether you worshipped him, complete in your “Cult of Apple” designated polo-neck, or thought he was a child-labour law abusing copycat, there’s simply no doubt as to the indelible legacy Steve Jobs left behind.

They're stealing my Apple in this first trailer for JOBS!
Making an autobiographical movie may not always be a surefire recipe for success, but hell, at least they’re easy to do. Throw in some rags to riches, twist the tale ever so slightly, mix in a little hard luck and let simmer over an open redemption sub-plot for 15 minutes, and you’ve got yourself a biopic. In fact, it’s so …
Yes, there's a third Steve Jobs movie on the way – From Funny or Die
You’re only valuable when you’re dead, and besides that being a fact shared by down on their luck artists and writers, it’s also something that hit Steve Jobs hard, post-mortem that is. There’s already two films based on the Apple of his eye founder, one starring Ashton Kutcher that is receiving less than warm praise, and another from Sony on …
