Don't get me wrong - I like the movies about Silicon Valley, etc. But I don't want to watch a movie portraying a launch event that was actually filmed and lives on through YouTube.
We need the private stuff, the behind the scenes stuff, the engineering and bickering about font size and shades of black. I remain open to the concept, but initially, I have to give this version a thumbs down on premise.

I'm officially not interested in this film, at all, unless they (now) get Noah Wyle on board. He was the one guy that Jobs actually approved of portraying him on screen. Noah Wyle did an excellent job portraying Steve in "Pirates of Silicon Valley" and, by far, would be the best choice for this film.
so sad
Bale was so insanely and completely perfect, but I lost interest when they lost Fincher and took on Boyle as director instead.

just get Tom Cruise.. LOL He did a good job in Edge of Tomorrow and his performance in Tropic Thunder as an angry executive is just excellent.

Any movie that tries to condense the entire life of Jobs into 90 minutes is also bound to be a failure. There's no way they can show every important event from his life.
I actually laughed out loud here. Bravo!
Not that Rogen is a bad actor, but he's more known for his role in comedies. He wasn't bad in 50/50, but he isn't going to be winning an Oscar anytime soon.
Who cares? Oscars are just political nonsense in the movie industry. I'd rather have a good movie than some Made-For-Oscar movie.
I would have said the same thing about Jonah Hill before Wolf of Wall Street and Moneyball. I'm not Jonah's biggest "fan" by any stretch - but he's done some good work.
What's Noah Wyle up to these days?
Not a huge amount I don't think, Falling Skies TV series. I think he would be perfect for the role, he looks like Steve and is a great actor!
I agree. I kinda think that Jonah is a bit more versatile as an actor than Rogen is. But both are very talented.
