Good choice. I am just waiting for the first non-caucasian actor to pick up on Jobs' heritage and to start complaining about Hollywood whitewashing.
I'm trusting Sorkin - one of the best screenwriters ever.. okay, mainly TV, but what TV!

Bale reportedly will appear in every frame of the movie with speaking parts that exceed three movies combined.
"Sir, the demo models are ready"
SJ: "WHERE ARE THEY???"
I guess this will be the only Sony movie without Sony product placement everywhere.
I'm looking forward to the movie.
How did this article equate to race?
Bale will do whatever is necessary to morph himself into Steve Jobs.
Before anyone says "do we really need another Steve Jobs film" the answer is we don't need one but it will be nice to have a good one to erase that trash Ashton Kutcher did.
Boyle behind the camera and Sorkin writing is the treatment a Jobs film deserves.
Yes like Capote ruined Hoffmans career.
Jobs: Half-Syrian. Bale: Not.
Just wait, someone will realize it and start complaining. I personally don't care, but some people will. Just look at the complaints when Khan in "Star Trek: Into Darkness" was played by a caucasian.
"Bale reportedly will appear in every frame of the movie with speaking parts that exceed three movies combined."
What the hell does that mean?
Christian Bale looks nothing like Steve Jobs ..... fail!
Now bring back Fincher to direct. I mean I love Danny Boyle but something about him on this project just doesn't feel right.

First off the pics you posted actually have some similarities. Secondly you're talking about Christian Bale. One of the most chameleon like actors in the world. He'll be ok. I was reminded of the following exchange from Entourage after reading your post:
E: Tom Cruise is going to play Pablo Escobar? C’mon, the guy’s not even Hispanic.
Ari: Yeah, and Hilary Swank has a vagina, but she won an Oscar pretending she has a ****. That’s what actors do. They pretend.

I wonder if they'll show any of Jobs famous temper tantrums. If so, can you imagine the video mashups of a little of that plus some clips from American Psycho?
I made a rough draft of Christian Bale as Moses back when it was first announced he would play that role. Maybe I should do one for him as Jobs.

I must say I'm apprehensive. The idea of 3x 30-minute scenes, all taking place before a product launch just sounds... well... boring.
