<p>One Steve Jobs biopic isn't cool. You know what's cool? TWO Steve Jobs biopics. At least according to Hollywood.</p>
<p>Though it's been widely-rumored since late last year, a press <a href="http://www.slashfilm.com/aaron-sorkin-adapt-steve-jobs-sony-pictures/">release</a> issued by Sony Pictures yesterday confirmed what is either your worst nightmare or dream come true, depending on how <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/04/06/sarah-lacy-randi-zuckerberg-silicon-valley-bravo-tv/">pearl-clutchy</a> you are about the tech industry: Aaron Sorkin will be adapting Walter Isaacson's bestselling biography of Steve Jobs for Sony Pictures. We're positive it will be every bit as packed with heavy-handed dramatic irony and "so bad it's good" euphoria as <em>The Social Network</em> is.</p>
<p><!--more-->Unfortunately, Mr. Sorkin's movie may have a competitor in the already-announced <em>JOBS Movie</em>, <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/04/03/serial-investor-ashton-kutcher-to-play-steve-jobs-in-indie-biopic/">starring</a> Ashton Kutcher. But that's an indie biopic with an official <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/thejobsmovie">Twitter</a> so terribly rendered that we originally thought it was fake. Additionally, the working <a href="http://articles.businessinsider.com/2012-04-15/tech/31343995_1_pirates-of-silicon-valley-interview-title">title</a> for that film--<em>Steve Jobs: Get Inspired</em>--may be one of the most terrible movie titles we have ever heard.</p>
<p>If casting for Mr. Sorkin's film can find an actor who bears a resemblance to Mr. Jobs as strong as <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/pic-ashton-kutcher-dresses-as-steve-jobs-on-set-2012145">Mr. Kutcher's</a>, we're sure they'll have nothing to worry about.</p>
