It was almost a Fincher/Sorkin/Rudin joint with a different actor (Leo, Christian) but now it’s here – Danny Boyle’s Steve Jobs with Michael Fassbender as the man who invented then reinvented Apple. Kate Winslet looks to be supporting. Here is a trailer and our first glimpse of Fassbender as Jobs, who enters the Oscar race against the Weinstein Co’s MacBeth. May the best Fassy win.
Well, the ingredients are top price. Writer Aaron Sorkin and director Danny Boyle is an electric combination. Kate Winslet and Michael Fassbender working alongside each other is also very tempting. But does this gel? Also the subject matter might be a tough sell for many, so I am not wholly convinced this is going to be value for money at the moment. The aforementioned names, though, ought to be enough to get bums in seats. Right?
