Sony Pictures has pulled out of the Steve Jobs biopic.
According to Deadline, the Danny Boyle directed film has been put into turnaround.
Christian Bale was due to play the late tech maven but backed out after deciding that he wasn’t the right man to portray Jobs.
Michael Fassbender was rumored to was to replace Bale, while Seth Rogen was said to be playing Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.
It is understood that Universal Pictures may now make a bid for the movie.
Sorkin has used Jobs’s authorized biography by Walter Isaacson for the film, which focuses on three stressful, high-profile Apple product launches including the first Macintosh in 1984 and the iPod in 2001.
