Christian Bale in Talks to Star in Sony's Steve Jobs Film

[bawbac]

He's got the genius part down...

 

[TheWatchfulOne]

Eric Schmidt can be Two Face. Steve Balmer as the Joker.

Enhanced it for you.

 

[Nunyabinez]

I have a beard...... And I will do it for less than Bale.

I guessing you would also do less for it than Bale.

 

[poe diddley]

Batman as Steve Jobs-this i would be more into way more than any of the other actors they have chosen up to this point.

 

[SoAnyway]

If this happens, all I can think of when I see Christian Bale is this clip from Batman.

 

[iThinkIt]

No, Robin.. Not the batarang.. us the batapple...

 

[Mr Hands]

How many more of these movies can be made? Seriously.

I guess you don't understand Hollywood. They'll keep remaking things until humans go extinct.

They gotta get that money, you know...

 

[BryanDWilkes]

Booooo!

Steve Jobs does not have a lisp. In every christian bale movie he cannot hide that. Itsssss Alwaysss Obviousssss

 

[S.B.G]

I am not current on the rumors for this movie, was he approached for this role?

I have no idea. Doubtful though.

 

[iceperson]

Perfect casting. Bale already has real life experience playing a terrible person...

 

[iJandro]

he'll use his batman voice.

where is bill gates?! Where is he?!!?!?

 

[appleii.c]

What you can't unsee is his eye wart.


You are welcome.

Damn you!!

Glad to see this making a comeback. Here’s the Steve Jobs Christian Bale photo I made:

Love it or leave it: The Official Steve Jobs vs. Christian Bale Supersite

Honestly, I don't see the resemblance other than the facial hair. The eyes, cheekbones, mouth... no similarities.

With that being said, Bale is a great actor, I think he can pull it off. Looking forward to the movie.

Will he have a Jobs voice?

No, he will have the batman voice -- "There's one more thing..."

----------

He'll use his Batman voice.

Geniuses think alike

 

[ttss6]

*Missing iPhone 4 prototype* Steve (Batman voice) WHERE ARE THEY?! *Smash employee's head into glass* WHERE ARE THEY?!

 

[Col4bin]

Bale is at least a much better choice than the rumored Leonardo DiCaprio!

And for the love of all things Apple, this should be the LAST Steve Jobs biopic. You listening Hollywood??

 

[chr1s60]

Facebook movie did rather well, and those people are still alive.

It did, however it was not a biopic on Zuckerberg's life. Beyond that, Zuckerberg is not well known like Jobs. His name is, but still today I think most people could walk past Zuckerberg and have no clue who he is, where as Steve Jobs was a well known public figure.

 

[Axemantitan]

Yeah, I agree that Noah was a great person be be Steve. He did an awesome job at it.

So good that he was invited to play Steve again at Macworld.

I am not current on the rumors for this movie, was he approached for this role?

Pirates of Silicon Valley (1999)

 

[bigandtasty]

Weak sauce.... Bale is a baby, he would suck as Jobs.

Pirates of Silicon Valley Jobs best so far..

 

[S.B.G]

So good that he was invited to play Steve again at Macworld.

I remember that now, it was pretty good!

Quite a bit of the movie was about Zuckerberg rather than Facebook itself. And who is to say how much of a movie in question or any Jobs movie would specifically about him or Apple or some specific things in his life and/or life of Apple--stories can differ quite a bit.

Also, I'm not really sure that's really the case when it comes to majority of people as far as who knows what about these people or even of these people. Plenty would have no clue as to who Jobs is or what his life was like, just as plenty wouldn't know who Zuckerberg is or what his life is like. Sure in various groups of people one or the other might be more recognizable and known, or even both, but in the overall general population I'm not quite sure which way it would really swing. And even that aside, seems like many can still find one or the other or both just as interesting or uninteresting. So there's really no way to say a movie about one or the other would or wouldn't be as good just based on something like that.

 

[Speedy2]

He'd be the perfect guy to bring out Jobs' dickish side!

 

[Gasu E.]

Just think if Roger Corman had directed...

"Cupertino Garage Babes"

 

[The Barron]

Make no mistake about it. Hah!

Should make for some realistic bullying scenes!

After listening to this rant and also learning Bales'' all-time favorite vocabulary word, it's apparent he never makes any mistakes. Such a classy & diplomatic actor Hah!

I'm sure he'd be good in this movie, but the cast & crew better have their "big boy pants" hiked up high for his tirades.

 

[Ulisescm]

Spot on casting! And both are a little bit "special" and geniuses...

 

[CartoonCat]

Christian Bale is no Ashton Kutcher.
