Sony pictures to produce movie about Steve Jobs

Just a few days after Steve Jobs' death, media reports suggest a film on his life is likely to be produced by Sony Pictures.

According to the Entertainment and Stars, Sony which recently produced real-life business-based films such as "The Social Network" and "Moneyball" is likely to make the film on the Apple co-founder's life from the producer of "Source Code."

Reportedly, the film will be based on "Steve Job," the soon-to-be-published authorized biography of the inventor written by Walter Isaacson, former CNN chairman and Time managing editor.

Jobs' life already has been portrayed on screens in a 1999 TV film titled "Pirates of Silicon Valley." Noah Wyle played Jobs, and the movie was appreciated by Apple's then-CEO.

According to a Deadline.com report, Sony Pictures has agreed to pay as much as $3 million for the movie rights to Isaacson's book. Sony has yet to comment on the issue.
