Sony Pictures to Acquire Rights to Steve Jobs Movie

Sony Pictures is in the process of acquiring the rights to produce a Steve Jobs movie based on the biography written by Walter Isaacson, reports Deadline.

I've just learned that Sony Pictures is making a hefty deal to acquire feature rights to Steve Jobs, the upcoming authorized biography by former CNN chairman and Time Magazine managing editor Walter Isaacson. I'm hearing the deal is $1 million against $3 million and that Mark Gordon will be the biopic's producer.

The studio has already produced the Oscar-nominated Moneyball and The Social Network which are also based on business related books.
