Watch: New trailer for Aaron Sorkin's "Steve Jobs" biopic
A new trailer for Aaron Sorkin's adaptation of Walter Isaacson's 2011 biography of Steve Jobs was released Wednesday, and paints a complicated picture of the late Jobs neglecting his family while building his Apple empire.
In the Danny Boyle-directed "Steve Jobs," not to be confused with Ashton Kutcher's 2013 flop "Jobs," the tech visionary is played by Michael Fessbender, best known as an action star in "Prometheus" (2012) and as Magneto in the "X-Men" series. Seth Rogen plays Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, and Kate Winslet is Jobs' wife Joanna Hoffman.
The movie is made up of three real-time scenes that take place over the course of 16 years as Jobs rose from college-dropout into the world-renown ingenius CEO of Apple who died of pancreatic cancer in 2011. In the trailer, Wozniak questions Jobs on being a so-called "genius" without being a scientist or engineer, to which Jobs replies, "Musicians play their instruments. I play the orchestra."
Watch the first look at "Steve Jobs" slated for October release.
