Aaron Sorkin’s long-anticipated Steve Jobs biopic is finally underway, with principal photography beginning in San Francisco. Danny Boyle is set to direct with Michael Fassbender in the leading role as the visionary Apple founder.
The film, which is based on key moments in Walter Isaacson’s biography of Jobs, doesn’t have a title yet. After changing production companies (Sony to Universal) and cycling through leading men (Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale were both slated to play Jobs before backing out) and directors (David Fincher to Boyle), it’s something of a wonder the project has come this far.
