The biopic of technology pioneer Steve Jobs has had a rough ride. Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network) picked up the project as a screenwriter with George Clooney (Gravity) as the initial choice. Fight Club/Seven’s David Fincher entered the director’s chair with Leonardo Di Caprio (Inception, The Aviator) and Christian Bale (The Dark Knight, American Hustle) in consideration. In early 2014, these plans fell apart before director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours) rescued it. Names like Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting, The Bourne Identity), Ben Affleck (Gone Girl, Argo) and Bradley Cooper (Limitless, Guardians of the Galaxy) and the female lead was mentioned in connection Jessica Chastain (Interstellar, The Help), Natalie Portman (Black Swan, Thor) and Scarlett Johansson (Lost in Translation, The Avengers).
Eventually a cast was brought together and we can see them in action in the first trailer. The film takes place over three poignant moments in Jobs’ life and stars Michael Fassbender (Prometheus, 12 Years a Slave), Seth Rogen (The Interview, 50/50), Jeff Daniels (Looper, The Newsroom), Katherine Waterston (Inherent Vice, Michael Clayton), Michael Stuhlbarg (A Serious Man, Broadwalk Empire) and Kate Winslet (Titanic, The Reader).
