"Musicians play their instruments, I play the orchestra". Michael Fassbender is Steve Jobs in the forthcoming biopic directed by Academy Award winning director, Danny Boyle. A new trailer has been released for the film featuring Fassbender as Steve Jobs as the latter expands his career and loses important people along the way.
As reported by The Verge after the teasers released in May and June, a new trailer has been released for the upcoming Steve Jobs biopic. The trailer shows Jobs as a seemingly successful visionary of Apple who fails as a husband, a friend, and a father to his daughter who he even refused to believe to be his' at one point while trying to achieve success in his career.
As cited by /Film, the movie gives the audience a backstage access, minutes before the three popular product launches during Jobs' career, starting with the launching of Macintosh in 1984 all the way to the release of iMac in 1998. He eventually ruins his relationship with the people around him, and gets voted out of the company he started.
Aside from Fassbender, The Independent reported that Seth Rogen is also on board as the co-founder of Apple, Steve Wozniak, along with Kate Winslet who plays as former marketing chief Joanna Hoffman, Jeff Daniels as former Apple CEO John Sculley, and Katherine Waterson as Chrissan Brennan, Jobs' former partner and the mother of his daughter. Andy Hertzfelt is also on board as one of the original members of the Macintosh development team.
The film was written by Aaron Sorkin and produced by Danny Boyle, Scott Rudin, Guymon Casady, Mark Gordon, and Christian Colson. It is based from the lauded best-selling auto-biography written by Walter Isaacson. It will be released in selected theaters in October 9 while a worldwide release is expected in October 23.
