“Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome....Steve Jobs.”
The trailer of Danny Boyle’s much awaited film based on the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs is here. And it will give you goosebumps! German-Irish actor Michael Fassbender has embodied Jobs freakishly well. He may not look or sound exactly like Jobs but his acting seems bloody convincing. We are definitely not missing Ashton Kutcher right now who featured in and as Jobs in the 2013 biopic.
The upcoming biopic focuses on the launch of three Apple products: the Macintosh (1984), NeXT (in 1988, after Jobs had left Apple) and the iMac (in 1998, after his return). The film is set to hit theatres on 9th October, 2015.
This extended trailer has glimpses of Seth Rogen playing the Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak along with Kate Winslet playing the original Mac engineer Joanna Hoffman. Jeff Daniels portrays John Sculley, the former CEO of Apple who famously forced Jobs out of the company in 1985.
Aaron Sorkin’s writing is guaranteed to make the film a gripping one. He’s best known for scripting The Social Network (2010), A Few Good Men (1992) and the popular TV series The Newsroom.
