The road keeps getting rockier for the Dany Boyle's Steve Jobs Biopic, the Aaron Sorkin-scripted film has already lost two leading actors and now will apparently change studios. Reports indicate that Sony Pictures is not moving further with the development of the film and moving the project to a different studio, reports point to Universal Pictures as the most likely candidate to acquire the project.Deadline reported on Sony putting the film in turnaround, with Universal moving in and making a play for the project. According to the report, Universal is expected to close the deal today with plans to continue development as quickly as possible. So the report tells us not to worry, because the project should continue being developed normally even with a studio move. Michael Fassbender was the last name attached to star in the film, which is said to be composed of three scenes that take place backstage before the launch of three iconic Apple products.
I am very disappointed to know that there is one more complication that this film is facing, but reading that this shouldn't really affect development does give me some relief. I am very interested in seeing this film, so I really hope that the studio move will end up helping this film instead of causing more issues. Hopefully the next pieces of news we hear on this film will be a casting confirmation and later on a shooting schedule and release date.
