AARON SORKIN FIRES BACK AT APPLE CEO TIM COOK'S "OPPORTUNISTIC" REMARK

Apple CEO Tim Cook recently made some remarks on Danny Boyle's biographical film Steve Jobs, accusing the motives of the filmmakers behind the project as being "opportunistic". Aaron Sorkin (A Few Good Men, Social Network, Moneyball), writer of the film has decided to lash back in defense, saying "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!" Ouch! Sorkin added that he along with several other key members of the team actually took pay cuts in order to ensure that the film got made, citing, "Nobody did this movie to get rich. Secondly, Tim Cook should really see the movie before he decides what it is."

Scheduled for wide release early next month, the film has already been gaining positive reviews following its debut at the recent Telluride Film Festival, with much praise directed to Michael Fassbender's transformative performance as the Apple founder. Instead of the conventional biopic birth-to-death trajectory, Boyle's version of the story focuses on the three key moments in Jobs' life, the debut of the first Macintosh in 1984, NeXT unveiling in 1989, and the triumphant introduction of the iMac in 1998. The film also examines Jobs' relationship with both his compatriots and employees and his estranged daughter, Lisa.
