If you missed the biopic jOBS in 2013, which featured Ashton Kutcher as the late Steve Jobs, you’ll have another chance to get a big screen behind the scenes look at the life of the Apple founder. STEVE JOBS is written by Aaron Sorkin, and at one point was going to be directed by David Fincher. Danny Boyle took over the project, which stars Michael Fassbender as Jobs, Seth Rogen as Steve Wozniak, Kate Winslet as former Macintosh Marketing Chief Joanna Hoffman, and Jeff Daniels and former Apple CEO John Sculley. Universal Pictures has unveiled a new trailer, which is much meatier than the teaser trailer, and it gives us a strong idea of what to expect. I love Danny Boyle’s films, so I’m sure this will at the very least be visually stunning. Add Fassbender to the mix and you’ve got my ticket money right now. Check it out and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
