One of my favorite actors, he's consistently top-notch and really tries to expand his range. My favorite performance of him is either Frank or Shame. This turned around nicely, because I do think Christian Bale both appearance and acting wise might've made a good choice too.
Got a tip for us?

Who wouldn't want to watch a movie about an egotistical corporate leader of a cellphone company who just died?
Bale took offense when the director hired that nincompoop to play Woz. He was like, "Wow. I have to emote with that loser? No way!"

This is the role Larry David was born to play. The resemblances and mannerisms are remarkably similar.
Do we really need another comment about whether or not we need another Jobs movie?!?
I really think that we should stop beating the dead Jo...er, horse. We truly don't need another movie about him, especially one that only focuses on three scenes in his life.
If we REALLY do need another movie about him, then we need to figure out how to 1) Raise him again to play the part or 2) Use some really good amazing CGI for it. Neither seems the least bit plausible.
hey (noah) has (noah) anyone (noah) mentioned (noah) Noah (noah) Wyle?
i (noah) wonder (noah) if (noah) anyone (noah) thinks (noah) like (noah) i (noah) do (noah) in (noah) wanting (noah) Noah (noah) Wyle??
jezuz people, come on.. if you like that movie so much why not stream it tonight and get over it already. this is one of those crazy kooky things called a "new movie."
we get it. we do. of the two notable actors to play jobs, noah wyle was indeed better than kutcher. let's move on, shall we?

Preferred Bale cos of looks but as far as acting goes, both are tops IMO. Another actor they should consider is Daniel Day Lewis. The guy is phenomenal.
i somehow feel like this is one of the last roles d.d. lewis would ever personally want to play. just don't see him (or his agent) ever entertaining the thought.
Fassbender is an incredibly good actor. I'd still prefer Noah Wyle or Bale though, but if it's really Fassbender, I'm sure we won't be disappointed!
I really do not want this biopic now. I actually quite like Jobs, it isn't massively accurate but like said by previous poster it did have support of those that were there and Kutcher did a good job to be fair.
Also the hiring of Rogen probably did play a part in losing Bale. You take a guy who takes his acting to very serious levels and for his supporting character cast a guy who only ever does b film stoner comedies. The most serious Rogen has done is Green hornet and I did not buy the guy for a second in it.

You think this is actually going to amount to anything more than a "good" movie? I'm sure it'll be nice, but it will likely be forgotten beyond the first couple days of release. Is a movie about Jobs really what the public wants right now?
I cant imagine its any smaller than the audience that was interested in watching The Social Network. Just sayin.

That must be why The Social Network won so many acolades. By the time that came out, Zuckerberg had been dead for ages and Facebook was a distant memory.
Wait...
HA! Well put!

Only if he blows something up...and it takes place on another planet...and has superhero's and a hot chick for the love interest....and a good sex scene...and a happy ending...and maybe a earthquake or a volcano disaster.
Movie casting minutia doesn't merit front page treatment. I didn't spot anyone posting that's eager to see this movie.
There are contacts for that.
Huh? I haven't seen anyone say Kucher did the job well. I suppose I can dig someone up, but I'm sure that's a minority opinion.

No matter what he's done since, i'll always remember him as Kaz Miller in 'Murphys Law' (BBC TV series). Played a real psycho-nutter gangster to perfection.
