The first movie about Steve Jobs, simply titled "Jobs," featured Ashton Kutcher in the title role and was a huge disappointment. I didn't see it. I didn't really have the chance after it either spent a few short weekends in theatres or missed them completely on its way to DVD-dom.

It doesn't always take a flop for Hollywood to pitch a remake (see "Spiderman") nor does it always take time (see Spiderman again). Thus, another Jobs biopic is in the works, this time in the hands of more certain movie makers.

The script has already been written by Aaron Sorkin, writer of "A Few Good Men," "The Social Network," and "Moneyball." Just like the first Jobs movie, Sorkin adapted his script from the best-selling Walter Isaacs biography. Unlike that movie, the latest one will focus on specific periods of the tech entrepreneur's life.

After "Social Network" director David Fincher backed out of the project, equally acclaimed director Danny Boyle could step in, the Los Angeles Times reported. Boyle is known for "28 Days Later," "Slumdog Millionaire," and "Trainspotting." He's never done a biopic before.

But Leonardo DiCaprio has. He's reportedly been asked to play Jobs (though it would be a tricky play given his schedule). In the past, DiCaprio has portrayed Howard Hughes in "The Aviator" and J. Edgar Hoover in "J. Edgar." He also once put on a convincing South African accent in "Blood Diamond." Leo may not yet have an Oscar, but he's as much of a sure thing as there is. Even the best have a dud every once in a while. By my count, Dicaprio never has. He is the Derek Jeter of Hollywood.
