Musicians play their instruments I play the orchestra. That key line, from the new trailer for upcoming biopic Steve Jobs, is delivered by Michael Fassbender, as the enigmatic Apple moguldefends his position against co-founder Steve Wozniak.
What do you do? Wozniak (Seth Rogen) asks his business partner. Youre not an engineer. Youre not a designer. You cant put a hammer to a nail. I built the circuit board. The graphical interface was stolen. So how come, 10 times in a day, I read Steve Jobs is a genius. What do you do?
Wozniak isnt the only one making heated complaints in the first official trailer for Danny Boyles upcoming look at the computer-industry titan. Jobs struggles to maintain control against former CEO John Sculley and a crew of developers who are pushed to their limits. (Youre insubordinate, says Sculley, played by Jeff Daniels. You make people miserable.) Meanwhile, Macintoshs ex-marketing chief Joanna Hoffman (Kate Winslet) encourages Jobs to manage expectations as his ever-ambitious vision grows.
Steve Jobs is built on a three-part structure, following Jobs during a trio of product launches ending with the iMacs debut in 1998. The film, out October 9th, was directed by Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire), written by The Social Networks Aaron Sorkin and is based on 2011 best-selling biography from Walter Isaacson, which described the tech pioneers journey through interviews with co-workers, friends, family and business rivals.
The cast also features Katherine Waterston (Jobs ex-girlfriend Chrisann Brennan) and Michael Stuhlbarg (Macintosh developer Andy Hertzfeld).
The biopic has faced a variety of personnel challenges since being picked up by Sony in 2011. David Fincher was first considered for director but backed away following disagreements over marketing and compensation. Last year, Leonardo DiCaprio was in talks to star as Jobsbefore stepping aside to focus on his lead role in Alejandro Gonzlez Irrituswestern-thriller The Revenant.
