Steve Jobs was an entrepreneur from the day of his birth and became one of the biggest technology pioneers the world has ever seen. Without any prior knowledge of programming, engineering or, indeed, any technical/computing experience of any kind, he set out to launch a computer with bucket loads of promise - all with the help and expertise of his friend Steve Wozniak. Little did they know of the tumultuous times that lay ahead, of how the resulting business would shape and damage Jobs' social and family life, and indeed his health.
'Steve Jobs' is the forthcoming biographical drama based on the best-selling official biography of the same name, written by Walter Isaacson and published shortly after the Apple Inc. founder's death in 2011, following his long battle with pancreatic cancer. The move is set at the three most important launches in the history of Apple, culminating in the release of the 1998 iMac. It has been directed and written by Oscar winners Danny Boyle ('Slumdog Millionaire', '127 Hours', 'Trainspotting') and Aaron Sorkin ('The Social Network', 'A Few Good Men', 'Moneyball') respectively, and is scheduled for release in the US on October 9th 2015 - just days after the anniversary of Jobs' death. It will hit the UK on November 13th.
Starring: Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, Jeff Daniels, Katherine Waterston, Michael Stuhlbarg
