Universal Releases First Trailer for 'Steve Jobs' Movie

[jonnysods]

Well good thing it isn't a radio drama.

You got me on this one!

Why are they making a different Steve Jobs movie? What was so wrong with the Ashton Kutcher film?

Multiple different movies about the same subject? How could such a thing ever exist?!

----------

Sorkin is such a hack of a writer though

Who could forget the cringe worthy dialog of Newsroom

Whenever anything would happen, three characters would talk at the same time trying to explain it.

As much as we love the Social Networks soundtrack

The actual story had nothing to do with Privacy, Stalking, or reaming tons of cash off personal data all generated by the users. (The REAL story of Facebook)

Sorkin's understanding of the web is 1.0 while we're in Post 2.0/Mobile

The choice for Aryan Fassbender to play Syrian Jobs is just moronic, might as well give Jobs a British accent too, while you're at it ?! WTF

Movies and actors are dramatizations of stories that are dramatizations of reality themselves? That's just crazy and would never work for any movie unless they use the actual people involved in the events (or perhaps their doppelgängers at worst) and say and do exact same things that actually happened. It's all a failure otherwise...as practically every non-documentary movie has demonstrated throughout history!

You're right. Ashton looks far more like Steve Jobs. Ashton looks nothing like Fassbender. Why are you comparing Ashton to Fassbender. Is Ashton playing Fassbender in an upcoming movie?

I personally think that Fassbender will be good, but I was bummed when Bale dropped out. I think he would have been fantastic. Bale is in some ways like the second coming of Gary Oldman.

yes, interesting.
But there is also some similarity

I could imagine Jobs in his younger years relaxing like this

 

[Bill Killer]

Also, can I assume most of you saw the trailer during the great MAD MEN finale?

----------

Ashton looks far more like Steve than Fassbender. The movie might not have been better... but he looked the part and was more similar and therefor more convincing as Steve.

Stop this. He looked like Jobs. Congrats to him. The performance itself was still void of any emotional resonance.

It was an uninspired, unemotional, generally TV-Movie-of-the-week version of a better story.

Leo Laporte said, last night, that the guy playing Jobs looks more like Leo's fellow TWiT presenter, Mike Elgan...

I can't disagree, to a degree.

The fact that so many geeks here are only upset by the non-conform physical resemblance of MF, confirms that this is going to be a very good film. Because it's not made for them.

Most former Apple employees I know and/or worked with laugh at all the Jobs worshipers. Guy was a slave driver who would speak before he thought about it. Amazing that all the PC lefties who love equality also loved and worshiped a selfish person who regularly abused his employees.

Ah, yes, bringing in some sort of political affiliations to try to put something down...truly a sign of a meaningful commentary. /s

What's everyone's thoughts regarding Seth Rogen? What's he going to bring to the table?

Acting. We'll see what kind and how good when the movie is out.

 

[hushypushy]

Whoa! I can see myself in the audience shot around 0:56

 

[mrxak]

The cast just ruins it for me. Seth Rogen? Seriously? And I like most people would have greatly preferred Bale. It's clear the studio wanted to cram an A-list cast down our throats, and that was their only motivation in casting.

Or it could work out just fine (if not better) when the movie is actually out. I mean they got Bratt Pitt and Jonah Hill for Moneyball and plenty of people didn't get how that would work out, yet it did rather well.
