Universal Studios Picks Up Aaron Sorkin's Steve Jobs Movie, Michael Fassbender to StarJust under a week after Sony Pictures
dropped the Aaron Sorkin-penned Steve Jobs movie, Universal Studios has picked it up,
according to The Wrap.
X-Men: First Class star Michael Fassbender is also now attached to star as Jobs.

Universal Pictures has picked up the Steve Jobs biopic less than a week after it was dropped by Sony, an individual with knowledge of the deal told TheWrap.
Sony suddenly dropped the film last Wednesday after it had developed it for two years. One report
indicated the studio dropped the movie because of the shooting schedule. Director Danny Boyle wanted to start shooting in January 2015, when Fassbender would be available to shoot. Sony, however, wanted to shoot a little later, which would have clashed with Fassbender's schedule as he was set to shoot
X-Men: Apocalypse. Earlier this month, Christian Bale
dropped out of the film despite Sorkin confirming his involvement. Fassbender stepped into the role shortly afterward and actors Jessica Chastain and Seth Rogen have
recently emerged as potential cast members, with Rogen possibly playing Steve Wozniak.
The film is expected to follow Jobs during three stressful, high profile product launches, including NeXT, the debut of the Macintosh in 1984 and the iPod debut in 2001.
