With publicity for the new Steve Jobs movie ramping up ahead of its October 9 release, a new video was shared by ScreenSlam over the weekend, showing a few behind-the-scenes moments of the creation of the film, along with some cast and crew interviews.


Seth Rogen, who stars as Steve Wozniak, praises screenwriter Aaron Sorkin's unique approach to the story and describes the movie as so "cinematic" and different from any other biopic, that it almost feels more like fiction than reality. Director Danny Boyle also described the movie as a natural extension of Sorkin's previous movie, The Social Network, with both films centering around individuals who "create this modern world" and the repercussions their innovations have on themselves, their friends and family, and everyone who uses what they built.

ScreenSlam also posted a lengthier 37-minute video -- of which the original video is a truncated version -- that houses in-depth interviews with more cast and crew members including Katherine Waterston, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Aaron Sorkin himself. The glimpses behind the cameras of the movie's shoot can only be found in the shorter video, however.

The film has been the subject of some controversy over the last week, when Aaron Sorkin gave a heated response to Apple CEO Tim Cook's initial negative impression of the yet-to-be released movie. The next day, Sorkin backtracked slightly on his comments, saying that "Tim Cook and I probably both went a little too far," and hoping that Cook enjoys the movie when he sees it as much as Sorkin enjoys Apple's products.

Looking forward to this movie.
However, watching the real Steve Jobs introducing the new iPhone etc. is still very entertaining as well.
 
Can't wait to miss it.

I'll hold my judgment of the movie until after I see it.


You can hold your judgement even after you saw it. As if one should ever tell another what movie they should NOT see. I think of two movies that I loved, that others have said were the worst movies of all time. Mike Meyers "Cat in the Hat" and more recently, Rogen's "The Interview".

My point being that you never know how the other person is going to feel about a film. You might just selfishly talk someone out of a film that was perfect for them (just because it wasn't what you wanted) Best case is to just let them see it and then you can discuss how you felt about it. Don't be suprised if they don't agree with you.

BTW I'm guessing you are a big fan of BTTF. Me too. Oct 21, 2015 won't be in the future for very much longer though.

Seth Rogan's interview is one "ya know?" after the other. He said it at least four times in 45 seconds.

Yup, looking forward to seeing this. I think it will be a terrific film.

I hope that the fears of it being compromised because of Fassbender's dissimilarity in appearance to Jobs are not borne out, and somewhat superseded by the quality of acting and script.

It's rare for me to go see a movie on opening night. But there are two that I'm definitely seeing this autumn: Star Wars and Steve Jobs. BOOM.

Are you high? Friends share opinions, people share opinions, nothing more than that. Relax dude.
 
If this movie was based on Walter Isaacson's book then this is the closest we could get. Obviously holywood is always holywood they twist some parts of the story all the time or go completely opposite. I don't think this movie is as bad as what Cook thinks. Tim is just being opportunistic so people will talk about what he thinks. This guy knows when to pull a trigger.
 
As well meaning (or not) as all these books & films capitalizing on peoples interest in the guy are, there's still nothing that says as much as the short email still sitting in my inbox signed "Thank you. Steve".
 
I'll probably go see it. Saw the first one on a flight to Europe and it was silly... This one looks like it actually might be entertaining.

Tim was not commenting specifically on this movie in the Colbert interview that Sorkin was apparently reacting to. Tim was asked a general question about the many movies and biographies that are circulating and he answered in general terms and did not name names.

Anyway, when I see some of the stills and clips of Fassbender from a distance I keep thinking I'm looking at John Sculley. It will be interesting to see if I can buy into him being Steve Jobs when I see the movie...at home. I hate going to movie theaters anymore, too many rude and crazy people. I'll go to see Star Wars but that's it for me.
