According to reports, Sony Pictures has acquired the film rights to the upcoming biography Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson. The biography, due to be released in book form just under two weeks, was written with cooperation from Steve Jobs. It will be the definitive account of Jobs' life, if recently released excerpts are any indication of its quality. But even the most felicitous books are usually mangled by the silver screen, and we can only assume Sony will evaluate how the book is received by the literate public before deciding if and how to proceed.

It's no surprise, then, that there is no other information regarding Sony's actual plans for its newly acquired rights. It's unlikely that Sony is interested in re-writing history—although the company surely felt the sting of Jobs' infamous claim that Blu-ray is a "bag of hurt." Oliver Stone could probably do something to help there, Sir Charles.

We think it's only sporting to help Sony out, and we'd like to invite you to help. Everyone knows how you make movies in Hollywood: you pick something old that was once popular and you hijack it. So in that spirit, let's hear your best recycled entertainment pitches!

Naturally, Ars Technica prefers a historical, dramatic series. Behold!

I, IOBSIUS

Born into the grinder of the new, global Personal Computer wars, Stephanus Iobsius was by all accounts doomed. An ill fit for the boardroom, Iobsius would survive imperious leaders and threats through the years, surviving the purges ordered by Billberius Gates, Nero Scully, and even Delligula. Once mocked as an eternal child obsessed only with toys, IOBSUIS would emerge as the most powerful man in the empire, ruling over the largest chest of gold ever.

We'll be highlighting our favorites from the discussion thread.

To get you started, here are some ideas we had that went nowhere because lunch showed up:

No Country for Beige PCs
