Michael Fassbender in Talks to Play Steve Jobs in Upcoming Sony Biopic

Someone must have something against Noah Wyle.

That said, there is an Apple store employee that works at the Apple store in the Lehigh Valley Mall here in Pennsylvania. Dead ringer for Steve Jobs... no joke at all. He obviously worked very hard to get the look down but I am telling you, he looks exactly like Jobs to the T.

Really think you're overreacting here

Overreacting? Considering the rage I feel nowadays for every BS "I know best what Steve Jobs would have done/wanted/said" post, I think I remained reasonably calm. But wait for a few more months of this nonsense, and then you can see me overreacting. Perhaps it will be enough to make the news.

Why Benidict?

Cumberbatch is one of the best actors going and he could pull it off I'm sure.

I don't know much of how the movie business works, so I am confused about the revolving door for the lead actor. Did they not sign a contract before their names were announced? Why are so many actors interested and then pulling out? Is this level of churn normal in the movie making business?

These are just a few of the questions that swirl in my head as I read these movie articles. As someone who has managed IT projects big and small, resource churn is a huge risk to a project and I cannot believe it is any different for a movie project, so right now it would seem to be moving forward on fairly shaky ground.
 
With the politically correct emoticons coming out - I'd like to suggest the actor playing Steve Jobs should be Black.

Maybe Samuel L. Jackson. He'd be great for the scene where the iPod? iPhone? wasn't working during the demo and he tossed it into the crowd. He could lay down his righteous fury at the stage hand peon responsible.

Usually this churn is low profile and off the radar of the general public. I wonder if much of this information is being fed to sources as a way to keep interest in the film active.

It should be this guy, Mr. Wyle:

I'd watch that. Hollywood doesn't give this guy enough credit. He was, after all, the central character of ER, so he certainly has the acting chops. AND he got the thumbs up from Jobs himself.
 
my money would be on either Chuck Norris or Stephen Seagal to bring a little more excitement and action to the role...some great one-liners
 
By the time they pick a lead actor for this role, I'll be too sleepy to bother watching this movie. LOL
