Sony's movie studio is in final talks to acquire the movie rights to the highly anticipated authorised biography of Apple Inc co-founder Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson.
According to a person familiar with the matter, the studio is negotiating to pay about US$1 million (NZ$1.28m) for the rights to the project.
The person declined to be identified because the deal has not been finalised.
Sony Corp was also behind the well-received biopic The Social Network, about Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, and This Is It, a documentary made of concert rehearsal footage of pop star Michael Jackson.
The news was earlier reported by Hollywood blog Deadline.com.
After Jobs' death last Wednesday, publisher Simon & Schuster pushed up the release date on Isaacson's Steve Jobs by a month to October 24.
