George Clooney is reportedly leads a list of actors who could play the late Apple boss, Steve Jobs.

The biopic is supposed to show the highs and lows in Jobs life up until his death from pancreatic cancer this fall.

Also up for the role is actor Noah Wyle. According to Now magazine, Sony Pictures will produce the movie and filming is due to start next year. Sony hopes that Oscar-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, who wrote the critically acclaimed "Social Network," will write the script.

Competition between Wyle and Clooney might be tight since Noah portrayed Jobs before in the 1999 "Pirates of Silicon Valley." Wyle was invited by Jobs to a Macworld Expo where the Apple founder took him to dinner.

"He took his napkin and started sketching out the schematics and he passed the napkin around the table," Wyle recalled in Fortune magazine. He also stated that the bill soon came wherein they had to leave and the napkin was left on the table.

"I thought to myself, 'I got to take that napkin' and my hand was on it, but Steve called from the door and asked, 'Noah, you want to share a cab with me?' So I put the napkin down. I could have had an Edison original," Wyle said.
