Aaron Sorkin talks about bringing Steve Jobs to the big screen

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Aaron Sorkin, the screenwriter behind the upcoming movie about Steve Jobs (http://www.imore.com/steve-jobs), recently opened up about bringing the late Apple co-founder and CEO to the big screen. Sorkin talks about how resistant he was to the idea of a traditonal biopic, and how that resistance led to the idea to set the film in three distinct time periods, just before three major product launches.</p> <!--break--> <p>Sorkin also talked about getting to know Jobs while researching for the movie. From Wired (http://www.wired.com/2015/10/aaron-sorkin-turning-steve-jobs-film-icon/):</p>

<p>The other thing is what we hear Seth Rogen say in the trailer: "What do you do?" Where is the evidence of genius from Steve Jobs? There's the success, I get that, but I'm not getting what it is that Steve did. It was in talking to Lee Clow and Woz and Andy Hertzfeld and all these people that I began to get an idea of it. But I also liked that question being asked.</p>

<p>On the reception he expects for the film, Sorkin said:</p>

<p>There are going to be people who say we were rough on him, and there are going to be people who say we weren't rough enough on him. But I think we made a good movie, and I think that if you asked 10 writers to write 10 movies about Steve Jobs, you'd get 10 different movies that wouldn't resemble one another.</p>

<p>Steve Jobs, which stars Michael Fassbender as Jobs, Seth Rogen as Steve Wozniak, and Kate Winslet as Joanna Hoffman, will release on October 9 in New York and Los Angeles, with a wider U.S. release coming on October 23.
