Fassbender as Jobs – an
exciting prospect indeed!
things you
need to know
about… STEVE JOBS
1 As the name suggests, this is the story of
the original Apple genius, Steve Jobs, a
man who’s had probably the biggest ever
impact on mainstream technology. Real
life Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was
also a project consultant on this.
2 It stars probably the hottest actor out
there right now, Michael Fassbender
(Slow West, 12 Years a Slave), who
accepted the lead after both Christian
Bale (The Dark Knight Trilogy) and
Leonardo DiCaprio (The Wolf of Wall
Street) turned the part down.
3 The screenplay was written by Aaron
Sorkin, the creative force behind immense
TV shows such as The Newsroom and films
like the Brad Pitt fronted Moneyball.
4 David Fincher (Seven, The Social Network)
was originally slated to direct, but creative
differences lead to him vacating the
position. Which would be a shame if it
wasn’t for the following…
5 Adding to the impressive role call of
people involved on this film is the Oscarwinning Danny Boyle (Slumdog
Millionaire, Trainspotting), who filled the
vacant director’s chair. All in all, an
amazing set of people!
See Steve Jobs from 13 November.
