Christian Bale is a phenomenal method actor. He will literally become Steve Jobs. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if he actually winds up creating a new Apple product.

Really
How many failed movies about Steve Job's does Hollywood need? Jobs was great, but movies about him, not so much.
If they complete the new circular campus for Apple before they film the movie this movie can literally be nothing more then Christian Bale walking and talking around the entire perimeter of the campus in 90 minutes, which is classic Sorkin shtick.

Perfect. Every time there is an article about this film I post Bale as the my choice to play Jobs. We know he will do whatever is necessary to disappear into the role

A Steve Jobs film starring Ashton Kutcher was bound to fail. Sorkin writing a film about Jobs and Fincher directing is a different beast. Bale is leagues above Kutcher.

Totally. When you look at the credentials of Fincher and Sorkin: Fight Club, Se7en, Zodiac, The Social Network, Moneyball - heck the fact they collaborated on a masterful film that took place in the technical industry - I have really high hopes this will do the subject matter justice.
Now if they can just get Jack Black to play Steve ... itll be _perfection_.
Great Choice
I think Bale is an incredible actor and would be an incredible choice for this role.
He's done roles based off of real people before and has nailed them (and won an Oscar for one of those roles).

Kinda surprised to see a moderator making that comment. It's been common knowledge for the past couple years that there would be an SJ biopic. The Kutcher fiasco was a result of poor...everything. This one will be done right.
well we were talking about how much kutcher _looked_ like jobs...not how good his acting is.
Sorkin and Fincher I am 100% behind! Actors don't really matter..they are just meat puppets.
You did not say it first in that thread...3N16MA said it 3 pages before you did. No cookie for you.
Don't forget John Connor.

Do you like Huey Lewis and The News?
Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
...yeah, I think Christian Bale is perfect for the role.
Bale is a solid actor. That for sure will bring more credibility to the film. Also the same can be said of Sorkin.
Kutcher on the other hand.........
Kutcher on the other hand.........
Ugh... you just shamed me into not commenting about Jobs gargling gravel.
I can't think of anyone more qualified. He has portrayed a billionaire, Bruce Wayne. And he has portrayed the man who save humanity from evil computers, John Connor. Who else is more qualified to play a billionaire who saves humanity from evil computers?
