Any role that I have seen Seth Rogen in, he always plays himself. There is not a lot of depth there in my opinion. It takes away from the projects he has been involved in, as it just becomes a film with that guy who has been in dozens of other movies playing the same character over and over again. Maybe this will be his breakout role that shows he's a talented actor with the ability to transform into a different role, but I doubt it.

Between David Fincher turning down the Directing job and now this, I'm nowhere near as excited about it as I was a year ago.
 
Why not just cast the real Wozniak? Hollywood makeup is pretty amazing these days.

Do you know how epic that would have been? At least you could have someone on set that could correct all the inaccuracies.

Playing yourself doesn't make you a good actor. Just look for example at Buzz Aldrin's guest role on 30 Rock.
 
The Kutcher movie wasn't that bad i thought. Decent TV movie.

Ashton Kutcher looks astonishingly like a young Steve Jobs, but I find Bale to be a better choice :

- Steve Jobs had a combination of charm and darkness. He could equally charm men and women ( "the reality distortion field") and be furious, cruel and make people cry. Kutcher has the charm but lacks the darkness. Bale has both . Plus he is at least a bit more physically ressemblant than De Caprio.

Seth Rogen is ok. I guess they needed him to have a lighter , funnier sidekick to the darker and more intense Jobs.

I'm looking forward to this movie, although I wish it was directed by Fincher, one of my favorite directors ever.
 
I'm officially no longer excited about this movie. I don't like Christian Bale or Seth Rogen. They are both overrated, and I'm really tired of seeing them in everything these days.

Count me out. :rolleyes:

Count me out too. It has nothing to do with the casting, I just have no interest in the story.
 
I like the sentence about Jessica Chastain. "We really don't have a part for her but she's such a hot property / serious actor maybe she can actually make our version work.". She's incredible in Zero Dark Thirty.
 
Woz (not Woz)

For the same reason that film taken by Pancho Villa of his real life hold ups wasn't used in the silent era . . . it wouldn't be realistic enough.
 
No one seems to understand that movies are nothing but a fictitious entertainment attempting to make money. This or any movie has little or nothing to do with reality. It will be a total distortion of reality at best.
 
No no no no no no no just no. I'm in the minority for sure but I can't stand this guy. Just my opinion.
 
"Jessica Chastain is also being considered for an unspecified role in the film."

Steve's wife.
 
Another Jobs movie? I'll pass and wait for Star Wars
There have been so many that people couldn't possibly be interested in a good one. I mean no one watched any of the Harry Potter movies after the first 2 or any of the Star Wars movies after the first 2, rite?

----------

My question is, why make another movie about Steve? "Jobs" with Ashton Kutcher was good enough.
It wasn't really good enough for many. But that aside, what's the issue with having another one that tells a somewhat different aspect of the story?

I think plenty of people understand that and have no issues with it as they watch movies for those very entertainment purposes.
