Time has an
article about a now-dead movie of a long-dead guy:
An upcoming Steve Jobs (photo) biopic, starring Michael Fassbender as the Apple co-founder, has reportedly been dropped by Sony Pictures.
The reasons behind the move haven’t been confirmed. Unnamed sources told the Hollywood Reporter that a prominent partner on the project had backed out; another anonymous source contradicted that claim. Either way, the film will now be offered to other studios, with Universal expressing interest, according to the Reporter.
Fassbender was not the original choice to play the lead role in the adaptation of Walter Isaacson’s biography of Jobs, but was approached after actor Christian Bale backed out in early November of 2014. The producers of the film reportedly offered Scarlett Johansson a part as well.
Slumdog Millionare director Danny Boyle has been signed on to direct the movie, replacing the original director, David Fincher.
Rico says that
Bale looked more like
Jobs, not that it really matters...
