DiCaprio has stated that he wanted a break for a while, having shot Django Unchained, The Great Gatsby and The Wolf of Wall Street in succession . Having taken this break he is starting work on The Revenant, it would appear that DiCaprio does not want to shoot films back to back again.
Danny Boyle is being eyed to replace David Fincher in the big chair. DiCaprio and Boyle made The Beach together that released in 2000. Fincher and Sony Pictures were at odds over his aggressive demands for compensation and control of the biopic. Fincher had wanted to have Christian Bale to play Jobs but the star is not attached to the film.
The studio is said to be looking at Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Bradley Cooper for the title role after Leo's exit.
"The West Wing" creator and "The Social Network" writer Aaron Sorkin's adapted script of author Walter Isaacson's authorized biography will give the film a unique narrative.
Talking at the Hero Summit he says "this entire movie is going to be three scenes, and three scenes only, that all take place in real time."
All three thirty-minute scenes will be "set right before three major product launches." Those three products? The original Macintosh computer in 1984, the NeXT Cube in 1990, and the first generation iPod in 2001. Sorkin finished the script earlier this year.
Mark Gordon, Scott Rudin and Guymon Casady will be producing the as yet uncast film being called Steve Jobs for now.
