He showed up this week the first big trailer for the Steve Jobs movie, which hits theaters on October 9 and stars Michael Fassbender as the late Apple co-founder. Another acting star will be Kate Winslet, who said about the film that filming was almost like Hamlet.

Winslet plays Apple executive Joanna Hoffman in the film from writer Aaron Sorkin, director Danny Boyle and producer Scott Rudin, but all eyes will be on Fassbender. The film about Steve Jobs is a bit of his one-man show, as everything takes place in three three-quarter-hour blocks about the essential moments of Jobs' life.

“The way the film was shot was extraordinary… extraordinary,” Kate Winslet said after releasing the most revealing trailer yet, confirming the already known fact that the film will be about 1984 and the launch of the Macintosh, 1988 and the introduction of the NeXT computer, and 1998 and the iMac. "Each act takes place backstage and literally ends with Steve Jobs walking on stage to huge applause," Winslet described.

But the filming was unusual for her, especially because of the way the entire film is conceived. "We had about nine-minute takes, sometimes even longer," Winslet recalled. “I remember there's a scene with Michael and Jeff (Daniels, playing John Sculley - ed.) that was 14 pages long, so it was a continuous 11-minute conversation.

“Actors are used to learning long passages of dialogue on set, but it's unusual for an actor like Michael Fassbender to learn 182 pages of dialogue when he's on each one. It's like Hamlet, times two," said Winslet, who is currently promoting the film The King's Gardener (A Little Chaos), in which she played the lead role.

While with Michael Fassbender, the creators of the new film didn't worry too much about his appearance, so we can hardly see Steve Jobs in him, according to the trailer, Seth Rogen portrayed Steve Wozniak very believably. Wozniak himself, the co-founder of Apple, even expressed his satisfaction with his film appearance.

Although, according to him, some sentences fell out of his mouth in the trailer, which he never said, however, he is still looking forward to the film and will definitely watch it. In one scene, Wozniak accuses Jobs of taking credit for his creations, which he says never happened. "I don't talk like that. I would never blame the GUI being stolen. I never talked about anyone taking credit from me," he said Bloomberg Wozniak.

Otherwise, according to him, the new film portrays the personality of Jobs more or less accurately, and in some parts of the trailer tears even came to his eyes. “The sentences I heard were not exactly the way I would have said them, but they carried the right message, at least in part. I felt a lot of the real Jobs in the trailer, if a little exaggerated," added Wozniak, who consulted screenwriter Sorkin on some things before writing the script.
