News: Sorkin Responds to Apple CEO Tim Cook's "Steve Jobs" Comments

by Ken Miyamoto on September 25, 2015

Apple CEO Tim Cook has recently called filmmakers doing projects about the late company founder Steve Jobs as "opportunistic". Aaron Sorkin, writer of the Danny Boyle-directed Steve Jobs, has responded. 

The famed screenwriter claims he and those working on the soon to be released film actually took pay cuts to get it made.

Sorkin commented, "Nobody did this movie to get rich. Secondly, Tim Cook should really see the movie before he decides what it is. Third, 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."

Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet and Seth Rogan star in the film, which opens in the United States on October 9th.
