There's already a prelash.

I actually thought that picture was Ashton Kutcher. I got really confused.

[kowhite]

So is this movie gonna pull a Social Network and manage to be totally engaging, about a topic I seriously don't care about watching a movie about?

Possibly.

[The Futurist]

Steve Jobs is way more fascinating than Zucky.

 

I mean the guy managed to become this kind of Tech God Messiah in his lifetime.

 

The latest Apple Key Notes were freaking scary, it was like Church time for some people, he was this near to sell us the I-Dog or something and people would have bought one ... because duh Steve Jobs...The Prophet hath Spoken.

[kowhite]

It's still a movie about corporate innovation.

A fascinating topic...but not one that inhabits my life to watch movies about list. Usually I read about that shit. So...Sorkin...this is on you.

[WrathOfHan]

Not sure if this is new, but I just saw an ad on Late Show and it's saying limited on the 9th and wide 16th.

I actually thought that picture was Ashton Kutcher. I got really confused.

Kutcher was a shockingly good choice in the resemblance department. Now maybe with this one we can get a good choice in the acting department instead...

Thinking about it, which biopics (or films depicting real events) have starred actors who looked creepily similar to the real person?

 

RANK THEM!

The upcoming Ronda Rousey biopic?

The upcoming Ronda Rousey biopic?

Ehh...

She may look like Ronda, but I expect she'll give a terrible performance.

The whole idea that an actor needs to closely resemble a actual figure is mistaken when you look at film history.

George C Scott did not look very much like the real George Patton...and defiently did not sound like him.Patton has a high squeaky voice.

[dudalb]

The Lisa? I thought it was the original Mac. In any case, those three represent three nice structural moments in his professional life: his rise, his fall, and his redemption.

And not just his professional life, since from the trailers, the Crappy way he treated his daughter in his personal life is going to be a major plot point.

Let's face it, any movie about Jobs is going to be a story of redemption, in both his personal and prefessional life.

I don't what this film to be a whitewash and I don't want it to be a hatchet job, and I certainly dont want it to be a political rant.

I think it's a bit more glaring because Jobs is a pretty recent figure and a lot of people know exactly what he looks like. Using the PATTON example, it was made 25 years after WWII and I'm betting most weren't that familiar with either his specific looks or voice.

 

That being said, you're right: there are plenty of amazing performances by actors who didn't resemble their real-life characters. Peter O'Toole as T.E. Lawrence is another example.

Good strategy by Universal given how empty the 23rd October was, I guess this means that The Walk and Bridge of Spies will have better OW. Is Jem and the Holograms staying put or moving?

Jem is staying put. It's not moving anywhere
