Steve Jobs

[projekktor id=’21423′]

Steve Jobs is a semi-biographical drama written by Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network) and directed by Danny Boyle (127 Hours, Slumdog Millionaire). Sorkin’s screenplay was adapted from Walter Isaacson’s biography “Steve Jobs”. The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival and stars Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, and Jeff Daniels.

Set backstage in the minutes before three iconic product launches spanning Jobs’ career—beginning with the Macintosh in 1984, and ending with the unveiling of the iMac in 1998—Steve Jobs takes us behind the scenes of the digital revolution to paint an intimate portrait of the brilliant man at its epicenter.

Sorkin didn’t want the film to be a spot-on biopic. “Danny and I were adamant that we weren’t looking for a Steve Jobs impersonation, a Steve Wozniak impersonation, a John Sculley impersonation. As I’ve said, Steve Jobs announces itself early on as being a painting and not a photograph. The only event that took place in the same real-world setting was the Macintosh launch, when they couldn’t get the Mac to say “Hello” to the stockholders. The other two launches did take place, but in different locations, and I’m sure they played out very differently than how I imagined.”

Steve Jobs is rated 14A.
