Bale Eyed For "Official" Steve Jobs Biopic

Christian Bale is being courted to star in David Fincher's authorized biopic about late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs according to The Wrap. Fincher, however, has reportedly told Sony Pictures' co-chairman Amy Pascal that he will only call action on the project if Bale signs onto play the tech giant.

Bale has not been officially approached yet, and right now he is on a break after wrapping Ridley Scott‘s upcoming biblical feature "Exodus"

 "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.

Filming is likely to begin early next year.
