Apple CEO Tim Cook ripped for criticizing ‘Steve Jobs’ film

But Sorkin disagreed, telling The Hollywood Reporter that Cook should see Steve Jobs before he complains about it.

Sorkin, who won an Oscar for writing the screenplay for “The Social Network“, has a highly anticipated movie about Jobs coming out in October starring Michael Fassbender, Seth Rogen, and Kate Winslet.

Aaron Sorkin (right) has responded to Apple CEO Tim Cook’s (left) claims that filmmakers are being “opportunistic” by producing numerous movies about the tech innovator.

If you’ve got a factory full of children in China assembling phones for 17 cents an hour, you’ve got a lot of nerve calling someone else opportunistic.

To illustrate just how non-opportunistic a project Steve Jobs was, Sorkin indicated that he, and other key members of the behind-the-scenes creative team, though he didnt specify exactly who, actually took pay cuts in order to ensure that the film got made.

Apple has been the focus of criticism for the labor practices of its suppliers.

“I haven’t seen them, but the Steve I knew was an incredible human being”. Cook made the comments during an interview with Steven Colbert.

“He was a joy to work with and I love him dearly”.

Steve Jobs, one of the legendary geniuses behind the Mac, is getting another biopic after 2013’s Jobs with Ashton Kutcher, and ET has scenes from the movie showing how it came together.

Aside from “Steve Jobs” and “X-Men: Apocalypse”, Fassbender is now filming “Assassin’s Creed” and is set to star in “Tresspass Against Us”, “The Snowman”, “The Light Bewtween Oceans” and “Alien: Paradise Lost”.
