First ‘Steve Jobs’ Trailer Shows Michael Fassbender as the Apple Founder
The first teaser trailer for Danny Boyle’s Steve Jobs biopic, the appropriately titled Steve Jobs, has arrived. The minute-long clip doesn’t reveal much about the upcoming movie, but does give us the first glimpse of Michael Fassbender in character as the Apple boss, shot from behind as he prepares to stride out onto stage to deliver one of his trademark keynotes. Fassbender’s joined by Seth Rogen, in character as Apple co-creator Steve Wozniak complete with big bushy beard, Kate Winslet as Joanna Hoffman, and Jeff Daniels as former Apple CEO John Sculley.
Leaked emails from Sony Pictures showed that Steve Jobs had something of a torturous development process. The movie was originally in production at the studio, with David Fincher set to direct, but it slipped from Sony’s grasp to Universal in late 2014. Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle is now at the helm, working with a script written by West Wing creator and The Social Network writer Aaron Sorkin. With its production problems apparently ironed out, and an accomplished cast in place, the movie’s finally set for release on October 9th.
