Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, charged with turning Walter Isaacson's eponymous biography of Steve Jobs into a major motion picture for Sony, says the movie will consist solely of three scenes. Sorkin's plans for the movie were revealed during an interview at Newsweek's and The Daily Beast's Hero Summit in Washington, DC on Thursday.

"This entire movie is going to be three scenes, and three scenes only, that all take place in real time," Sorkin explained, noting that each fictionalized scene would be about 30 minutes for both the audience and the characters in the film. "Each of these scenes is going to take place backstage before a product launch—the first one being the Mac, the second one being NeXT, and the third one being the iPod."

Sorkin said he hopes to have "earned" the right to end the film with the famous voiceover from Apple's "Think Different" ads:

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

Sorkin noted that he spoke to a number of people who worked with Jobs over the years at Apple, NeXT, and Pixar, in order to build an accurate depiction of Jobs on screen. "I've been able to talk to all these people who revere him, even though he made all of them cry at one point or another. But he made all of them better at what they were doing." That includes Jobs' long-time friend and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who is also serving as a technical advisor for the film.

Sorkin noted that Jobs' reputation for being petulant and ill-mannered at times made him more interesting as a person to write about.

"There's no point in writing about someone unless they are flawed," Sorkin said. "Perfect people—which probably don't exist—aren't interesting. 'Typical' people also don't exist—there's no such thing as a 'typical' person. Steve Jobs was atypical, a genius, and extremely difficult."
