A new US comedy series, iCon, is being developed that will satirise Apple's co-founder and chief executive, Steve Jobs.
According to cable channel Epix, the show is "a savage satire centering on a fictional Silicon Valley CEO whose ego is a study in power and greed".
The pilot will be directed by Seinfeld veteran Larry Charles, an Emmy-winning TV writer and producer who is also known for directing Borat and Brüno.
"We are attempting to do nothing less than a modern Citizen Kane," Charles said in a statement. "A scabrous satire of Silicon Valley and its most famous citizen."
Charles will oversee development of the script, while the writer of the series will be Dan Lyons, a technology consultant for Newsweek who created the fake Steve Jobs blog.
You can follow the project on the fake Steve Jobs blog, or read a New York Times report titled "A television project that might make Steve Jobs iRate".
