Steve Jobs

Who nowadays has not heard of Steve Jobs? A pioneer of the era of IT technologies, one of the founders, chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer of Apple Corporation, one of the founders and chief executive officer of the world-famous Pixar film studio. But how do great people achieve their success? What sacrifices do they have to make, and how many people do they push away? At the peak of fame, people are capable of losing their heads and doing reckless things. Jobs also had crises in his life, and not only related to work. He had difficult relationships with women, and although Steve was considered a romantic, he was sometimes frugal, rude, and even cruel. More information Initially, the director of "Steve Jobs" was to be David Fincher, the author of such masterpieces as "Fight Club", "Seven", "The Social Network", "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and others. But the Sony studio had to refuse, as he demanded $10 million in payment and full creative control over the project. Fincher wanted to cast Christian Bale, who played in "The Dark Knight", "Equilibrium", "The Prestige" and others, for the main role. The director's chair was occupied by Danny Boyle, whose filmography includes such classics as "On the Needle", "28 Days Later", "Slumdog Millionaire" and others. He invited Leonardo DiCaprio to the "Steve Jobs" project. Ultimately, both actors refused to film and Michael Fassbender agreed to play. He could be seen in Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, Ridley Scott's Prometheus, Matthew Vaughn and Bryan Singer's X-Men. After such difficulties, Sony abandoned the project, and in November 2014, the rights were bought by Universal Pictures. The screenwriter of the film "Steve Jobs", Aaron Sorkin, who worked on "The Social Network" and "The Man Who Changed Everything", took as a basis the biography of Walter Isaacson. The main character's wife could be played by Natalie Portman, Jessica Chastain and Kate Winslet.
