Steve Jobs’ Widow Tried to Stop New Movie From Being Made
Danny Boyle’s Steve Jobs is out in the United Kingdom on November 13.
Not everyone is happy about Danny Boyle and Aaron Sorkin’s Steve Jobs biopic.
As a film, Steve Jobs is entertaining, fascinating to watch and tough.
What’s more, the insider revealed Laurene has been “trying to kill this movie” for years. After Tim Cook appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and called filmmakers opportunistic for making films about Steve Jobs, Sorkin responded by calling the film a “labor of love”. Sorkin adapted his screenplay in part from Pulitzer-winning Walter Isaacson’s book: “Steve Jobs”.
Talking to Vanity Fair, Sir Jonathan Ive said, “I just think it’s important to remember, you could have had somebody who didn’t ever argue, but you wouldn’t have the phones that you have now, and a whole list of other things”, the Apple design chief said. It’s easy to see why his widow tried to block this film, but luckily, she failed because the final result is one of the best movies so far this year.
The most prominent of these portrayals is the upcoming movie “Steve Jobs” by American screenwriter Aaron Benjamin Sorkin.
The film which stars Micheal Fasbender as Apple Inc.co-founder Jobs, tells the story of the backstage drama at three iconic product launches, and ends with the launch of the iMac in 1998.
The actress believes that life is too short for anyone to develop an unhealthy ego, and this is why she ditches it whenever she applies for a new job.

According to the publication, reps for Bale and DiCaprio were “unable to verify that, and Laurene Jobs did not return calls”. I got the script and I went, “That was unbelievable”.
Narrative Two is how former Apple CEO John Sculley, a major character in the movie played by Jeff Daniels, sees it. In an interview with Tech Insider, Sculley said he enjoyed the movie and sees it purely as entertainment, not a literal representation of what really happened. “This could be great.’ It was just the simplicity of that”, said Ive.
This rating will probably go down a few points as more screenings take place, but it’s a solid start.
“Steve Jobs” has been well received by critics, with The New York Times calling it “a rich and potent document of the times”.
