Well, he isn't asked to portray an actor so that shouldn't be a problem.
I won't say much for Seth Rogen. I'm pretty much over his brand of comedy and have a hard time seeing him as anything but the fat Jewish stoner Everyman that he pretty much exclusively plays.
Fastbender though is an outstanding actor. No two ways about it.
Horrible choice of actor… Nothing says Steve about him.. Not the looks , not the demeanor , not the voice and tone… Nada.
What a shame becouse otherwise it seens to be a nice production.

I agree but I think once we reach old Steve then fastbender will look more like sj than Ashton. We will see.
Yeah weird choice right... doesn't sound like he captured Jobs' style. Worrying.
Uh, nope. Getting quite tired of all these so-called Steve Jobs movies.
I think it was "stolen".. With permission. http://zurb.com/article/801/steve-jobs-and-xerox-the-truth-about-inno .. So it really depends on your definition of stolen.
It seems to me they iterated on good ideas Xerox weren't taking advantage of.
Well, lots of peoples like seeing it this way because it make a much better story and also because peoples like to see Job as a total ******* that build his own success on the shoulder of other.
The reality is that Xerox themselves we not really interested in building their own computers, and though that Apple would be better than them to create product using the technologies they had developed. So Xerox bought millions of $ of Apple stocks and part of the deal was that they would let Apple visit their research center.
Xerox later made a ******** of money with those stocks following Apple successes.
So no, they stole nothing.
i saw that movie twice. and liked it each time. it's an afternoon time waster and the story holds up. don't know why people who don't have an irrational hatred of Kutcher would have too much of a problem with it.
underrated movie. there, i said it.
Correct. But is that really important to the story?
Fassbender's Believability Factor: Minus 0
I think Hollywood must secretly hate Steve Jobs.

Not stole, used. With permission even. I believe jobs couldn't stand it when good tech was not utilised.
It's about execution. Details, Emotions.
If you've ever thrown a fork away because it was stupidly designed, or take a 35$ knife over a 400$ one because its actually better, you understand.
I love those questions.. why do we need a door key. Why start a car. Why turn off a computer.
I was going to say the same thing. Half way through the trailer I swear I was really watching Steve jobs.
Very weird because he looks nothing like him.
It was used with permission

He looks more like Tim Cook in that thumbnail, perhaps maybe some brown contacts would have helped and showed some more effort.
I agree. That part totally threw me out of it. Would Woz actually say something like that? Is that how he feels?
Are you calling the Xerox Parc people naive and stupid? Their management was short-sighted by basically giving Apple that gui technology because they didn't think it was useful for anything. They probably thought they were getting the better part of the deal because the reason they brought Apple in for meetings in the first place was to partner with Apple to get more exposure for their products.
Thanks. Getting really tired of the stolen meme.
The trailer looks like they've strung together all the anti Apple/Jobs stuff from the pc media over the decades as well as some interesting new twists like the fire regs bit in the auditorium and hitler salutes. Wonder how much religious cult stuff they managed to squeeze in as well. As if the actual story wasn't dramatic enough, they had to run their dramatic license (probably revoked) in overdrive.
Since none of us where there, and it's a matter of who you read, I guess no one really knows for sure.
Sigh. I guess, like the untrue "fact" that Al Gore said he "invented" the Internet, there's no killing the lie that "Apple stole" the interface from AT&T. They paid some millions of dollars to just take a look at the system. They wanted to see an example of a windowed system with a mouse. They took some ideas, and compensated the company for the visit. Now we have the Wozniak character repeating the lie in the trailer.
