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

And TSN was/is a much more interesting story from the vantage point of its target audience, people under 40. It's about FB, which everyone and their teenaged sister is on, and how a guy in college quickly became the workd's youngest billionaire, a person people can actually relate to much more than Jobs. And besides, it wasn't like TSN was just about Zuckerberg, whereas the Jobs movie will be about just that, Jobs, with some minor window dressing to make it actually an interesting story.

Without actually seeing the movie I don't think anyone can really say what it's just about and/or who it would really appeal to. Seems like a stretch and/or something based on various assumptions and biases more than anything else. More than likely quite a few people had similar types of feelings about The Social Network before it was in production and perhaps even during its production, but it ended up being just fine.

Fasts ended in a fabulous actor, far superior to DeCaprio. Bale I have never even heard of

Noah's finishing up on Falling Skies so I'm surprised no-ones run up to him and asked if he wants to play Steve Jobs again.

He seems the obvious choice. Even Steve like him in Pirates of Silicon Valley

You've never heard of Christian Bale?

No, although I looked him up on IMDB realised he was in American Hustle which I've seen and of course he was one of the lead characters. I've seen Shaft too years ago but don't remember him. All the other movies he's done I've seen none.
 
Fassbender is a good actor. I rather enjoyed his performance in 12 Years A Slave. If he can emulate some of those slave owner/Magneto traits, maybe will might reach SJ's natural @-hole personality and can match that intensity everyday.

I also very much like Benedict Cumberbatch after watching 12 Years A Slave and The Fifth Estate. He did a very good job as Julian Assange of WikiLeaks. Of course, he doesn't look the part but a upcoming actor (Dr. STRANGE), nonetheless.

The role of SJ isn't just looking like him but being like him. Very hard to find people to do the latter. He was no saint which is an understatement of the year and even when SJ was sick in the hospital, he didn't exactly display humility afterwards screaming at nurses and showing his true Syrian anger. A modern-day Scrooge with a sprinkle of Hitler and Da Vinci in tech. Very hard to portray.
 
Wow. Fads bender is 10 times the actor Bale is and Bale is pretty OK. Does celebrity matter that much here?

True Syrian anger ... Interesting. Can you enlighten us with similar deep "insights" on Blacks , Jews or Muslims inborn genetic psychology ?

Did someone accidently pushed the "rewind to 1940" button on the Time Machine ?
