+1I would only ever consider Noah Wyle for the part. You have to take in to consideration how close Jobs and Wyle got following the film, the peak of which the public saw when Noah impersonated Steve before (I believe) MacWorld.
If you really read up about Pirates Of Silicon Valley, you get an insight on just how personal Noah considered that role. He was relentless in getting every little detail, mannerism, and look just right. He perfected the role, and I would love to see him do it again on a more grand scale.
He's my only choice for the role, if he doesn't get it in this film, it would be a blind mistake on Sony's part, and a real disappointment which would make Pirates the better movie based on Noah's portrayal alone.
His performance in POSV pretty much highlighted that movie. Just needed better production values that SJ even insisted which Sony/Columbia which will offer.
I want to see SJ from the very beginning as a youth. His hippie days in the 1970's are some interesting years. And then the tyranny and bitterness he had with several people even in his last days of his life. Battles with Bill Gates and his shouting matches with Sculley and the folks at Google. His honesty is like Simon Cowell. Vulgar, but honest.
If Sony can make an interesting movie about Mark Zuckerberg and win awards for it, a Steve Jobs movie will be even more interesting and a box office success like most of Apple's current products.
