'Social Network' Director David Fincher in Talks to Helm Sony's 'Steve Jobs' Biopic

"Like Zuckerberg, Jobs was a complicated visionary who became a polarizing figure."

Comparing Steve Jobs to that little redneck is a sheer blasphemy. Zuckerberg is no more a visionary than your butcher is.
Dear MacRumors contributor, shame on you: your ignorance does strike as quite shocking.

I have said many times that Tom Cruise is a great choice for the role. He has similar impassioned mannerisms (the smile...) and a sharp speaking style that would fit well with Steve.

I'm not sure Steve would've liked being represented by Cruise, crazy Scientologist etc.

Genius of a Director. The Henley Rowing scene in the social network has to be one of the best things ever shot, loved it. I often play it before a race lol.

If you've seen the way that Tom looked in 'Collateral' with the scruffy beard, you can better start to envision how he'd look as Jobs:

Aside from all that, it would lend the necessary star power to the film to make people flock in droves.

Tom Cruise would be perfect! Excellent notion.

I wonder if anybody else is hoping Trent Reznor might be helping David with soundtracks again??

No

I think I'm the only one who really hated The Social Network. It just seemed like Fincher hated Zuckerburg and did the worst possible portrayal of him. I did like Jobs and thought Ashton was really good. Although that film was too much of a cheerleader, so there has to be a film out there that could really be a good balance between both sides of Jobs because face it he was a gigantic ***** when it came to business and how he dealt with people. But then driven people generally are.

From what I've heard about Jobs, the hero worship and adherence to history is so bad, I'm surprised they didn't have Ashton Kutcher up on a big hill turning water into wine towards the end of it.

This guy.

I can only imagine what Daniel Day Lewis could do with this role. Not to mention his method acting. I'm sure LSD, fasting, fruit diets, and black mock necks would enter his process.

I love his work. My favorite would be Christian Bale. The smile is almost identical to Jobs and Bale could play this role with ease. I don't understand how Tom Cruise could ever be an option. This actor is not the heavy weight you want to see play Jobs. And Cruise is a dwarf. Sorry for that but its the truth.
