Steve Jobs is not who the world thinks he is. Well, that seems to be what the new biopic, entitled "Steve Jobs," is trying to depict. While the world was impressed on the brilliance and intelligence of Apple's visionary leader, the first in-depth look on his life revealed Jobs is nothing but a big a**hole!
The trailer of the much-anticipated biopic, "Steve Jobs," recently sparked reactions online. The film, which is helmed by "Slumdog Millionaire" director Danny Boyle, will feature German-Irish actor Michael Fassbender as Steve Jobs, Esquire reported. While Seth Rogen, Kate Winslet and Jeff Daniels will portray the roles of Steve Wozniak, former Macintosh marketing chief Joanna Hoffman and Apple CEO John Sculley, respectively.
In the latest biopic, Steve Jobs is being portrayed as an arrogant and narcissistic megalomaniac who has taken all the credit for Apple Inc., without actually doing much. According to BT.com, the film is based on Steve Jobs' biography written by Walter Isaacson.
As the new "Steve Jobs" biopic stokes anticipation for its controversial depiction, it also delivers Job's passion and three of his most momentous launches, which are combined with occasional flashbacks, The Week revealed. The story also shows his relationship with his ex-girlfriend and estranged daughter as well as his strained relationships at work.
While history comes bubbling to the surface in this latest "Steve Jobs" biopic, the film is not as negative as some might expect. However, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has responded to the controversial trailer, Variety noted.
"I don't talk that way [referring to scene where his character tells Jobs that he has taken credit for Apple Inc. without much effort]," Wozniak wrote in an email to Bloomberg. "The lines I heard spoken were not things I would say but carried the right message, at least partly. I felt a lot of the real Jobs in the trailer, although a bit exaggerated."
In Wozniak's email, it was also revealed that Aaron Sorkin has consulted him before the script was written and he admitted to having dinner with Rogen.
