Aaron Sorkin – the Oscar-winning screenwriter behind (most recently) THE SOCIAL NETWORK, MONEYBALL and THE NEWSROOM – has revealed that his upcoming biopic on Apple co-founder Steve Jobs will be made up of only three scenes!
While talking at the Hero Summit on Thursday, Sorkin let slip that the ‘entire movie is going to be three scenes, and three scenes only, that all take place in real time.’ He then went on to explain that each scene depict an event ‘all set right before three major product launches’: the Macintosh computer in 1984, the NeXT Cube in 1990 and the iPod (2001).

Considering Jazmine grew up watching CARRY ON SCREAMING, THE LION KING and JURASSIC PARK on repeat for weeks on end, it made sense for her to study film at London South Bank University. It’s also a good thing that her course requires a lot of sitting down because she’s very accident-prone. When she’s not examining her bruises, she likes pretending that she doesn’t live in Southend-On-Sea and spends hours mindlessly blogging. Favourite films include BLUE VALENTINE, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND and TOY STORY 2.
