It was the year Harry Potter ended, the Muppets returned, Ryan Gosling drove, Apes rose, Matt Damon bought a zoo, and a bunch of raunchy Bridesmaids made us pee our pants (or wedding dresses) laughing.

25. 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol'
So many movies this year promised edge-of-your-seat action and nonstop popcorn scarfing, but few delivered like the fourth installment in this would-be aging franchise. Tom Cruise is at his best, reminding us that his charisma and ability to sell a crazy fight »

Aaron Sorkin To Tackle Steve Jobs Biopic
25 November 2011 9:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Having written about the realms of Us politics (The American President, the frankly peerless West Wing) and then TV production (Studio 60), Aaron Sorkin, who for my money is as gifted and talented a writer as there is out there, now seems to be setting his sights on the various icons of the It world. After his deserved Oscar® win for The Social Network and its formidable dissection of the somewhat enigmatic Mark Zuckerberg, Sorkin may now be setting his sights on Steve Jobs, the recently deceased head of Apple.
In an interview with E! Online, Sorkin was enthusiastic if a little non-committal:-
“Sony has asked me to write the movie and it’s something I’m strongly considering. Right now I’m just in the thinking-about-it stages, it’s a really big movie and it’s going to be a great movie no matter who writes it.”

Oscar-winning screenwriter, who knew the Apple founder personally, says he's 'seriously considering' adapting Jobs biography
Aaron Sorkin, who brought the story of Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg to the big screen in the Oscar-winning drama The Social Network, looks set to tackle another tech innovator with news that he's "strongly considering" an offer to write a biopic about Apple founder Steve Jobs.
Speaking to E! Online, Sorkin – creator of The West Wing and a writer on forthcoming Oscar-tipped Brad Pitt drama Moneyball – said he was currently reading Walter Isaacson's biography of the late Apple co-founder, which studio Sony paid a reported $1m to option last month.
"Right now I'm just in the thinking-about-it stages," said Sorkin. "It's a really big movie and it's going to be a great movie no matter who writes it. He was a great entrepreneur, he was a great artist, a great thinker. He's probably inspired »

Aaron Sorkin “Strongly Considering” Sony’s Biopic of Late Pal Steve Jobs
23 November 2011 6:00 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
[1] About a month after we first reported [2] that Social Network and Moneyball screenwriter Aaron Sorkin was being courted to write Sony's Steve Jobs biopic, the scribe has said that he is "strongly considering" taking the studio up on its offer. While that's not exactly a confirmation that Sorkin will actually do the project, the fact that he's talking publicly about it seems like a step in the right direction, right? More details after the jump. Sorkin commented on the Jobs project during the recent P.S. Arts Express Yourself 2011 event in Santa Monica, California. "Sony has asked me to write the movie and it's something I'm strongly considering," he told E! [3] (via The Hollywood Reporter [4]). However, the scribe was careful to stress that he had not yet made a decision. "Right now I’m just in the thinking-about-it stages," he said. "It’s a really big movie and it’s »

21 November 2011 1:35 AM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
George Clooney and Noah Wyle are reportedly in the frame to play late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in an upcoming biopic of his life. Sony picked up the rights to make a film of Jobs's life after the acclaimed technology leader died of pancreatic cancer last month at the age of 56. Aaron Sorkin, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of The Social Network, is understood to have been contacted to adapt the script from Walter Isaacson's biography of Jobs. Filming for the biopic is scheduled to get underway next year. Clooney, 50, is said to be up against 40-year-old Wyle to play Jobs, after the two starred opposite each other in the long-running Us drama ER. However, Wyle may have the edge because he previously played the former Apple chief executive in the 1999 cult classic TV movie Pirates of Silicon Valley. To research the film, (more) »

Rumor: George Clooney and Noah Wyle Vying for Role of Steve Jobs in Biopic
18 November 2011 4:10 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
I’ll give you a second to read that headline again so you know that the next few paragraphs are not written in stone. In a report from The Sun (via Slashfilm), they suggest that former ER co-stars George Clooney and Noah Wyle are in competition for the role of Apple-icon Steve Jobs for a biopic by Sony. While there is no factual evidence to support this, Wyle did once portray Jobs in the TV biography Pirates of Silicon Valley and Clooney is being courted to play in almost everything. Rumor or not, Sony is definitely anxious to get production moving on the biopic and is banking on Aaron Sorkin to pen the script. Hit the jump for more on this project. While Clooney certainly has the chops to play the role, I can’t imagine he’d give up that Hollywood hair to more adequately portray Jobs. Perhaps, since we’re talking crazy anyway, »

Will Clooney Break Out the Black Turtleneck for Steve Jobs Biopic?
18 November 2011 2:28 PM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
George Clooney has had a lot of important roles in his life: the guy with the feathered hair on "Roseanne," the guy with the Caesar cut on "ER," and maybe, if he plays his cards right, the guy in the black turtleneck and blue jeans in the upcoming Steve Jobs biopic.
The Sun reports that rumors are swirling that Clooney will play the late Apple CEO in an upcoming movie based on Jobs' life. Jobs, who died from pancreatic cancer on Oct. 5, 2011, had already been portrayed on screen by Clooney's former "ER" castmate Noah Wyle in the 1999 made for TV movie "Pirates of Silicon Valley."
It seems that Wyle may give Clooney a run for his money when it comes to playing Jobs again; Wyle is reportedly also in the running for the role in the upcoming biopic, rumored to start filming sometime next year

George Clooney and Noah Wyle eye Steve Jobs biopic?
18 November 2011 12:12 PM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
George Clooney and Noah Wyle are interested in in playing Steve Jobs in the upcoming biopic, according to Cult Of Mac (via The Sun). Clooney is 50 and Wyle 40 both starred together as doctors on ER. Filming is slated to start next year on the project that will chart the life and career of Jobs.
Wyle played jobs in the TV movie, Pirates of Silicon Valley. I love Falling Skies, and am not sure how this would impact the shooting schedule if he were to be cast. Clooney has back surgery coming up from an injury that occurred on Syriana.
I would be fine with Clooney of Wyle playing the role. It all depends on the quallity fo the makeup. What are your thoughts? »

Steve Jobs Biopic Eyeing George Clooney and Noah Wyle
18 November 2011 11:37 AM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Last month, we reported that Sony Pictures is moving forward with a biopic on Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, which was announced just days after he passed away at the age of 56. A new report indicates that actors George Clooney and Noah Wyle are both in contention to portray Steve Jobs.
Sony is fast-tracking the biopic, with an eye to start production sometime next year. We reported in October that Sony wants Oscar-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network) to write the script. We haven't heard yet if Aaron Sorkin has agreed to come aboard this project yet or not.
Noah Wyle previously portrayed Steve Jobs in the 1999 TNT TV movie Pirates of Silicon Valley. Both Noah Wyle and George Clooney starred on the hit NBC medical drama ER together.
Steve Jobs comes to theaters in 2013. »

Crazy Rumor of the Day: George Clooney and Noah Wyle Vying for Steve Jobs Biopic
18 November 2011 11:15 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
[1] As the source is somewhat less than airtight, you should probably take the following with the biggest grain of salt you can get your hands on -- but on the off chance there's some truth to it, this rumor is too wild not to repeat. A new report claims that George Clooney and Noah Wyle are vying for the lead role in the upcoming Steve Jobs biopic, which is being developed at Sony based on Walter Isaacson's bestselling biography. More details after the jump. The story comes from the UK tabloid The Sun [2] (via Cult of Mac [3]), which reports that the former ER co-stars are competing against each other to play the late Apple co-founder. There probably aren't many times I'd vote for Wyle over Clooney, but in this case Wyle actually seems like the better choice. For one thing, he's already played Jobs once, in 1999's Pirates of Silicon Valley. »

George Clooney and Noah Wyle In Competition for Steve Jobs Role: Rumor
18 November 2011 10:00 AM, PST | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Filed under: Movie News, Hot Topic
Former 'ER' co-stars George Clooney and Noah Wyle are -- according to a rather dubious report -- vying to portray Steve Jobs in an upcoming big-screen biopic. Wyle already played the late Apple co-founder in a 1999 TV movie, which led to him meeting the real Jobs (Wyle tells the tale in a 2009 interview), who then recruited the actor to impersonate him again at that year's MacWorld Expo. (See a clip here). Clooney, meanwhile, doesn't remotely resemble Jobs, and presumably has a dozen other projects on his plate anyway. The Sony biopic is based on Walter Isaacson's bestselling biography of the technology icon.
