Steve Jobs the Film: Upcoming movie about Steve Jobs

Hunter

The official extended Steve Jobs trailer came out recently - looks interesting but I can't get over the fact that Michael Fassbender doesn't look or sound like Steve Jobs.

@robjama Michael Fassbender is one of the best actor on Earth IMHO. I was so happy when I knew they chose him. Watch Shame.

@robjama felt the same way initially but then I started looking at as more of a play about three important moments in Jobs' life. Much like The Social Network, a dramatization where none of the actors really looked the part (a great movie still). @nicolasegosum agreed, can't wait to see him in MacBeth. Check out Slow West too if you're looking for something a little more interesting / quirky.

@rustydingo @robjama Its not Michael Fassbender that worries me ... Seth Rogan?! I have probably seen 70% of all Seth Rogan movies and he plays all of one role. Except in Freaks and Geeks (where he just plays a dick). I hear he has a big role too...

@siddygups fair point, I tried to think of a movie where Seth Rogan really departed from his usual self, I thought 50/50 for a second but then I realized he was playing himself in that one too.

I hope its based on "Becoming Jobs" the new book, a much more insightful look into the man not the legend.

@tracyingram According to Venture Beat, it's not : "the script was written by Aaron Sorkin and is based on Walter Isaacson’s biography of the Apple guru". Here's the full article : http://venturebeat.com/2015/07/0...

@anthony_abitbol @tracyingram And a movie adaptation of that book is probably going to be pretty far from 'true' or 'real'. C'est la vie.

Not sure about Fassbender's portrayal - tough to beat Noah Wyle's performance in Pirates of Silicon Valley IMHO

Steve Jobs is the JFK like figure for the tech world. He will be biographied and studied and exalted for decades.

Cinematically it was an interesting take, but artistic license went a bit wild on this one and overall was pretty boring.

An excellent film, which I liked because of the veracity of the facts that were shown. The director's work is at a very high level.

@ourielohayon How many other products or services for sale actually have someone on staff called....a Producer :) I get it though, it's not an app or an item, but I think movies and books have a good place here.
