He's certainly done that before too (in "The Machinist" for example).
Yes, that is what I was referring to.

Right, but it was a movie about Steve Jobs. I don't think typical movie going public is going to make too much of a distinction. I'm not saying its going to be a bad movie, but with the prior movie doing poorly, this may be a hard sell.
but he has reportedly been a front runner for the position due to his undeniable resemblance to Jobs.
Hopefully a new movie would spend more time on the period from when he is booted from Apple, until the end. The last two movies just brushed over those bits.
That was a Ashton Kutcher movie, Not a Jobs movie.
This is the officially licensed Steve Jobs movie based on Walter Isaacson's Biography.
I thought it was more along the lines of Mac, iPod, and iPhone (not sure who in the general public would really care or even know about something like NeXT).It has widely been reported that the movie will take place in three acts all back stage right before a major product release. Mac, NeXT, iPod IIRC.

Didn't the last Jobs movie bomb? Why make another?
Certainly various facial features (beyond just facial hair or color of the skin) are far from nothing alike and are actually similar enough that with some makeup Bale can very likely pull of Jobs quite well.The left looks like Christain Bale, and the right looks like a younger Steve Jobs... wait... it is Bale and Jobs!
((yea, they look nothing alike... and I used to think all Caucasian with with facial hair looks the same))
Well, Bale HAS pulled off some crazy feats on acting... if anyone can pulled off Jobs, Bale could.

Maybe it's the photos they chose but I see no resemblance whatsoever.
With a combination of involvement (or in some cases potential involvement) of people like Aaron Sorkin, David Fincher, perhaps even Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, with combination of some star-power like Christian Bale and/or some others, that alone can bring quite a few people to the theater. And the story of Steve Jobs and in some sense Apple overall (both of which are fairly well known these days, perhaps even more than Zuckerberg/Facebook) can bring even more.I don't think that too many people went to see The Social Network because it was specifically about about Facebook/Zuckerberg. This may be a bit different because Jobs' name will be in the title.

One doesn't really have much to do with the other.
I don't see why there would be less interest in him than Zuckerberg, and The Social Network has certainly done well as a movie (both critically and as far as revenue).maybe there just isnt that much interest in steve jobs.
personally i would rather see a well done documentary about him.
