Chaos reigns, that's what the fox said.

Why are mods changing the titles of posts?

Why are mods changing the titles of posts?

In this particular case, to provide clarity.

Actually, the title changed made it less clear. It said 'Christian Bale quits or does he?' which implies he is still in talks, which isn't the case.

According to Deadline, nothing was ever finalized with any actor and THR/etc have been jumping the gun with *all* their reports. They're saying, in fact, no actor has been in serious talk negotiations yet.

But according to basically every other trade, there were already serious talks, and Deadline post Nikki has basically turned into the 'Let's snark about other trade publications' site.

It's your thread, of course. If you'd like to change the title (or add something else), then go for it!

Update: Fassbender drops out.

[Chewy]

Wasn't Fassbender one of the (temporary) replacements in that Jane Got a Gun fiasco too? lol

[Jonwo]

i could see Fassbender as Jobs but I imagine they would need to shoot this soon so that Fassbender can do X-Men later in the Spring if they want it released by December 2015 unless there are planning to release in 2016

[dudalb]

From the way this is proving so hard to cast,you have to wonder if maybe the script does not have major problems. Actord are interested in playing Jobs, so start talks, but after reading the script have second thoughts.

[The Futurist]

Jessica Chastain has a window in her 12 movies a year schedule.

[GuardiaStar]

I really love the title (the part about Fassbender)

[Sal]

Well, seems like this one's not gonna happen:

deadline says universal are in talks to pick it up.

[Jonwo]

Movies in turnaround do get picked up sometimes, Sony picked up Eat Pray Love from Paramount when it was in turnaround and Oblivion which was developed at Disney ended up at Universal. I think Universal is probably the likely studio to pick it up.

Disney also had Cowboy Ninja Viking but drop it because it was too edgy for their image and then Universal picked up that project and collider reports that Chris Pratt will star in that film. So yeah Universal may well pick this film up as well

Universal Pictures has picked up the Steve Jobs biopic less than a week after it was dropped by Sony, an individual with knowledge of the deal told TheWrap.

 

The Danny Boyle-directed biopic about the Apple co-founder was put into turnaround by Sony on Wednesday, but now has a new home.
 

Aaron Sorkin is set to write the script, with Michael Fassbender attached to star in the film that is based on the authorized biography by Walter Isaacson, titled “Steve Jobs.” Scott Rudin, Mark Gordon and Guymon Casady are set to produce the film.
