Michael Fassbender Predicts the Future in New 'Steve Jobs' Trailer
“What if the computer was a beautiful object, something you want to look at and have in your home?” asks Apple cofounder Steve Jobs (played by Michael Fassbender) in the new trailer for the film Steve Jobs. “And what if, instead of it being in the right hands, it was in everyone’s hands?” That’s the kind of tech revolution that Jobs predicted before anyone else, and the highly anticipated Danny Boyle-directed biopic (written by Aaron Sorkin) shows how he made it happen with the Macintosh computer. Watch the second trailer above.
Like the first trailer (released in July), the new spot shows how Jobs’ genius fractured the relationships in his life, including his partnership with his Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak (Seth Rogen). “We will know soon enough if you are Leonardo Da Vinci or just think you are,” Wozniak says to his friend. We also see more of Jobs’ relationship with his estranged daughter, whose paternity he denied for years as her mother subsisted on welfare. “What you make isn’t supposed to be the best part of you,” Jobs’ coworker and confidant Joanna Hoffman (Kate Winslet) tells the Apple CEO. “When you’re a father, that’s what’s supposed to be the best part of you.”

Steve Jobs premiered earlier this month at the Telluride Film Festival, where the real Steve Wozniak was in attendance. “I felt like I was actually watching Steve Jobs and the others, not actors playing them. I give full credit to Danny Boyle and Aaron Sorkin for getting it so right,” he told Deadline. The film opens in theaters on Oct. 9.
