Sony Pictures drops Steve Jobs biopicNovember 22, 2014 - 17:42 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Sony Pictures has pulled out of the Steve Jobs biopic. The movie - which had Danny Boyle attached as director and Aaron Sorkin managing the script - has been put into turnaround, Digital Spy reports citing Deadline. Christian Bale was due to play the late tech pioneer but withdrew after deciding that he wasn't the right man to portray Jobs. Michael Fassbender was hotly-tipped to replace Bale, while Seth Rogen was said to be playing Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak alongside Interstellar's Jessica Chastain in an unspecified role. Leonardo DiCaprio was also previously linked to the project, which would have seen him reunite with his Beach director Boyle. It is understood that Universal Pictures may now make a bid for the movie. Sorkin has used Jobs's authorised biography by Walter Isaacson for the film, which focuses on three stressful, high-profile Apple product launches including the first Macintosh in 1984 and the iPod in 2001.
