Leonardo DiCaprio In Talks To Star In Steve Jobs Biopic

Sorry Ashton Kutcher, but THIS is the Steve Jobs biopic we've been waiting for!
Apparently Leonardo DiCaprio is in talks to star in the latest biographical film about the late Apple co-founder, though THR reports that nothing has been signed as of yet. Leo will start shooting The Revenant in September, so if Sony really wants The Wolf of Wall Street star, they're going to have to wait a bit -- or start production ASAP!
Aaron Sorkin has written the screenplay for this movie, and it's based on the Walter Isaacson biography Steve Jobs. Though David Fincher was initially tapped to direct the flick, he passed and Oscar-winner Danny Boyle is now being courted for the gig.
Kutcher's biopic on Jobs (the aptly titled Jobs) was hyped up quite a bit ahead of its 2013 release, but it only earned $16.1 million at the box office and ended up with lukewarm reviews. We're thinking Sorkin, Boyle and Leo (or whoever they end up casting in the lead role) will get the job done this time, right?
