David Fincher was originally attached to direct, but was dropped from the film by Sony after his demands - a $10,000,000 salary and full creative control of the project - could not be met by the studio. Fincher wanted Christian Bale to play the lead role. After his departure, Danny Boyle signed on to direct and Leonardo DiCaprio was approached about the title role. Ultimately, however, DiCaprio passed on the project and Christian Bale was offered it instead. However, Bale also declined the role, feeling he was not right for the part after which Michael Fassbender entered to star in the film. See more »

The launch of the NeXT Computer was at the War Memorial Opera House in 1988. The movie showed a pristine, beautiful opera house with sparkling chandeliers and painted walls. The opera house in 1988 was dirty, used and dingy in 1988. The light fixtures were all smoky and dingy. In 1989, after the Loma Prieta Earthquake, the opera house was cleaned and redecorated. The movie showed the opera house to be too pristine for the year 1988. See more »

First of all.. I've seen Jobs with Ashton Kutcher and it wasn't that bad as everyone said and i personally think it was much more interesting than this one.
Steve Jobs was entertaining.. yes, but it was difficult to follow the plot. After watching the Movie i had no clue what Steve actually did, i mean i know some things, but i've learned nothing about his life after seeing this Movie. The only thing that this Movie brought to me was the Fact that he sucked as a Father and as a Human. Do i know why he did all this?...no.
In the End this Movie opened a lot of questions but none of them getting answered and this is the reason why i think i didn't liked it that much.
Yes the acting was great and all, but i hope it's not just me who thinks that a Movie needs more than just good acting..
Would you like to see the invention of Apple and what Steve Jobs done for it, watch the one with Ashton Kutcher...
If you like to see a Movie about Steve Jobs personal life without any real answers to it, watch this Movie...
