Steve Jobs asked Aaron Sorkin to make a Pixar movie

     The death of Steve Jobs was as sad and tragic as the death of King of Pop Micheal Jackson. But Jobs had one last request for the eye at Pixar. He asked Oscar winning writer Aaron Sorkin to make a movie at the studio. Sorkin had allot to think about. Hears what he said-
    But it’s his last call I’ll always remember. He wanted me to write a Pixar movie. I told him I loved Pixar movies, I’d seen all of them at least twice and felt they were small miracles, but that I didn’t think I’d be good at it.
    Hears the interview that Jobs gave to Sorkin-
  
STEVE: Why not?
ME: I just—I don’t think I can make inanimate objects talk.
STEVE: Once you make them talk they won’t be inanimate.
ME: The truth is I don’t know how to tell those stories. I have a young kid who loves Pixar movies and she’ll turn cartwheels if I tell her I’m writing one and I don’t want to disappoint her by writing the only bad movie in the history of Pixar.
(long silence)
STEVE: Jeez … write about THAT.
ME: Steve—
STEVE: Why don’t you come up here and let me give you a tour of the place.
 Then this is what Sorkin said-  I told him I’d take him up on it and I never did. But I still keep thinking about that Pixar movie.
     Sounds good huh? I hope that Sorkin takes up Jobs' offer. I like how Jobs said "Once you make them talk they wont inanimate". But this will probably not happen, but its those out-of the -box thinking that made Jobs so extraordinary.
