After the Ashton Kutcher (ugghh) led film Jobs tanked with critics and fans, it was clear the tech giant was deserving of a much better film. Enter Sony and a script by Oscar winner Aaron Sorkin. The script by all accounts is phenomenal, however Sony has been having some issues lately nailing down talent.
If "The Hollywood Reporter" is to be believed that may soon change. The website reports that Sony is currently in talks with Academy Award winning director Danny Boyle to helm the project with Leonardo DiCaprio to star.
Can you say jackpot?
Now some might complain that DiCaprio physically wouldn't fit the role. I say pshaw. I never thought he could play J. Edgar Hoover and look how that turned out. The guy is a friggin' chameleon. If you told me tomorrow that DiCaprio was going to play Anne Boleyn in an movie, I'd ask you for the release date.
Unfortunately this project may not come to fruition for a while. DiCaprio just signed on for the film The Revenant and Danny Boyle has begun production on a followup to last year's Trance.
Regardless, if I have to wait two years to see this one I'll be the first in line. Who knows? This might even snag Leo his first Academy Award.
