Unlike most Funny or Die productions, this will be a feature-length film, clocking in at somewhere between 60 and 75 minutes. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn true Internet fashion, it\u2019s not based on very thorough research &#8211; essentially a cursory look at the Steve Jobs Wikipedia page,\u201d Perez told the NYT. \u201cIt\u2019s very silly. But it looks at his whole life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After <em>iSteve<\/em>, the next Steve Jobs biopic on the calendar is <em>Jobs<\/em>, starring Ashton Kutcher. That film was originally slated for an April 19th release, but we just learned that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/ashton-kutchers-jobs-biopic-release-delayed-for-additional-marketing-2013-03\">it has been pushed back<\/a> so that it can benefit from additional marketing.  <\/p>\n<p>The other, bigger-budget film is still in its early stages. That film, written by Aaron Sorkin, is based on last year&#8217;s bestselling biography <em>Steve Jobs<\/em>, written by Walter Isaacson. <\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=V8YmsnJVK-Q:Suis1kfiNPQ:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=V8YmsnJVK-Q:Suis1kfiNPQ:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=V8YmsnJVK-Q:Suis1kfiNPQ:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=V8YmsnJVK-Q:Suis1kfiNPQ:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=V8YmsnJVK-Q:Suis1kfiNPQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=V8YmsnJVK-Q:Suis1kfiNPQ:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=V8YmsnJVK-Q:Suis1kfiNPQ:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=V8YmsnJVK-Q:Suis1kfiNPQ:mfZ73u_VV2s\"><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=V8YmsnJVK-Q:Suis1kfiNPQ:mfZ73u_VV2s\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div><img src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/webpronews\/all\/~4\/V8YmsnJVK-Q\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>That one starring Ashton Kutcher and that one written by Aaron Sorkin aren&#8217;t the only Steve Jobs biopics in the pipeline.
