David Fincher may get replaced by Danny Boyle to direct Steve Jobs flick by Sony

The highly-speculated Steve Jobs movie by Sony Pictures is set to get a new director on the board very soon as talks are on with Danny Boyle to replace David Fincher. It has also been learnt that The Wolf of Wall Street star Leonardo DiCaprio has been approached by Boyle to star in the film.

As reported earlier Fincher left the project after his loud-mouthed monetary as well as authoritative demands were not met. Fincher also opted for Christian Bale as the lead protagonist in the film though the actor was not signed. Scott Rudin is set to produce the film which has been written by Aaron Sorkin of The Social Network fame. Sources have added that the deals are not yet finalised, either with Boyle or DiCaprio. More interestingly DiCaprio has recently committed to star in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s thriller The Revenant which will go on the floors this September.
