Widow of Steve Jobs tried to stop film Danny Boyle says WSJ

received mixed way by people who knew Steve Jobs, the new movie about executive produced by Aaron Sorkin and Danny Boyle, almost never happened. According to information from the Wall Street Journal, Laurene Powell tried to stop the production of the biopic lobbying against Sony and Universal Pictures.

Starring Michael Fassbender, "Steve Jobs" uses material taken from the biography written by Walter Isaacson and focuses on three important moments in the history of the executive. Producer Scott Rudin says the widow of Steve Jobs refused to discuss the points of the script that bothered her. "She kept saying how he did not like the book and that any film based on it could not be exact," he told the WSJ.

In a statement sent to the vehicle, the chairman of Universal Pictures, Donna Langley said the film "was made with the highest integrity" and that the distributor is very proud of the result. Apparently, the company offered the chance to Powell Jobs see the film before its release, a proposal that she would have rejected.

Recently, Tim Cook called the film "opportunistic", which generated a public apology by Aaron Sorkin. Since Steve Wozniak, cofounder of Apple, praised a preliminary version of the film and told the WSJ that he is "about Jobs and his personality. I feel they did a great job. "
