Boyle & DiCaprio Reunite For "Steve Jobs" Biopic?

The Hollywood Reporter says that Danny Boyle is being eyed to replace David Fincher in the big chair for the the authorized biopic about late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.

 "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.

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.

Now Boyle is said to have approached Leonardo DiCaprio to star.  DiCaprio and Boyle made The Beach together that released in 2000.

Mark Gordon, Scott Rudin and Guymon Casady will be producing the as yet uncast film being called Steve Jobs for now.
