It also reveals some new details about what we can expect to see in the Sony Pictures film.</p> <!--break--> <p>Leonardo DiCaprio was reportedly first sought out for the role but decided to pass. A few weeks ago, Sorkin seemed to confirm that Christian Bale (http://www.imore.com/christian-bale-confirmed-playing-steve-jobs-upcoming-biopic) had agreed to do the part but a few days later it was reported that Bale had turned down the role as well (http://www.imore.com/christian-bale-may-not-don-black-turtleneck-steve-jobs-biopic). More recently, Hollywood media outlets claimed that Michael Fassbender was in talk to take on the movie (http://www.imore.com/michael-fassbender-latest-actor-rumored-aaron-sorkins-steve-jobs-biopic).</p> <p>In his new interview with The Independent, Sorkin stated that one of the big roles in his biopic will be that of Jobs' daughter Lisa Brennan-Jobs. She spoke with Sorkin as part of his research into the script. Sorkin said:</p>

<p>She didn't participate in Walter Isaacson's book, because her father was alive at the time, and she didn't want to alienate either of her parents, so I was very grateful that she was willing to spend time with me ... She is the heroine of the movie."</p>

<p>The movie, to be directed by Danny Boyle, is scheduled to begin production sometime this winter.</p> <p>Source: The Independent (http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/features/aaron-sorkin-interview-writer-of-the-newsroom-on-his-battle-with-drugs-and-being-a-perfectionist-9862342.html)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-28384"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/40830b8c/sc/38/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
