The upcoming Steve Jobs biopic had been going through constant changes with its lead going from Leonardo DiCaprio to Christian Bale and now possibly Michael Fassbender.

The film, which is has been written by Aaron Sorkin and is set to be directed by Danny Boyle, has now lost the studio that's been backing it, according to Mercury News.

Sony dropping the Steve Jobs biopic is surprising as the studio had reportedly grabbed the project shortly after the Apple co-founder's death in 2011 and fast-tracked it. Universal is reportedly said to be interested in the project for next year's awards season, but the studio has declined to comment, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Despite the possibility that the Steve Jobs biopic might get picked up by another studio, Boyle may no longer be available to direct the film if production doesn't start in January as planned. Boyle reportedly only has a short window of time to shoot the movie before starting another project, according to a source.

Sources reportedly stated that Annapurna Pictures, the production and financing company run by Megan Ellison, was to be involved as a partner as well, but has backed out. An Annapurna insider reportedly stated that the company was never involved.

The movie is reportedly being produced by Scott Rudin, Mark Gordon and Guymon Casady. The highly-anticipated project is reportedly based on Walter Isaacson's biography of Jobs.

Despite the troubles the film is going through, there are high hopes that the film will be a part of our lives sometime in the future, especially since Sorkin had to deal with a lot of pressure to write the biopic.

"[I feel] The same pressure that I feel when I am writing anything, but maybe with a little bit of sauce on top of pressure because he is a person that many people have strong feelings about," stated Sorkin during an interview on Bloomberg, according to imore.
