Well, you can call it a quick move as just one week of Steve's demise SONY Pictures is all set to buy the movie rights to an upcoming biography of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. To add more to it, the talk is already in final stage and Sony is expected to pay $1 million for the rights to the book, which traces Jobs' story from college dropout to CEO of the world's leading tech company.
On the other hand, the leading publisher, Simon & Schuster, from NewYork which was to release the authorized biography of Steve Jobs by 21 November has suddenly shifted its date to 24 October following the demise of Steve Jobs earlier this month.
Comparing both these released, personifying the most iconoclastic personality in IT industry ever on written pages is going to be much simpler task than portraying him on canvass. The major problem when making a biography movie of a popular face is that you could not get a look alike face for the actor playing the lead role. The option is to being out energy and enthusiasm from the actor playing those icons which will bring the character closer to the one expected. For example Ben Kingsley as Gandhi, or more recently, Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles did the same.
Moreover, in Job's case there will be some more added difficulty to Sony as they have to play both Steve of early college days when he started the company in a garage as well as the 50 years old CEO who captivates his audiences with high profile launches of iPhones and iPads. Not only age, the health is also going to be a major concern as Jobs lost his weight dramatically when battling with the pancreatic cancer in his final years. Let's see with whom Sony Pictures comes out to play Steve Job's role.
