Ondrej Holzman It should have been a finished message. When less than two weeks ago, screenwriter Aaron Sorkin in a TV interview confirmed, that Steve Jobs will be played by Christian Bale in the upcoming film from Sony, probably many had no doubt that this should not happen. But the Oscar-winning actor is said to have finally decided that he is not suitable for this role.
With surprising news he came The Hollywood Reporter, which reports on the news from the prepared film about Steve Jobs from the beginning, and the last time he wrote about Seth Rogen as a possible Steve Wozniak, noted that even with the main actor, Christian Bale, the producers have not yet signed a contract, although Sorkin had previously confirmed Bale in the main role.
Now according to sources The Hollywood Report she confirmed the information about the unsigned contract and Christian Bale will not even sign it in the end. The actor known for the role of Batman is said to have finally, after much consideration, come to the opinion that he is not the right person for the role of Steve Jobs.
The director of the film, Danny Boyle, together with the producers Scott Rudin, Guymon Casady and Mark Gordon, will have to look for a new main character of the film, which was supposed to start filming this winter. Boyle was supposed to meet with the actors this week to discuss their roles and contracts, and it is not yet clear how Christian Bale's refusal will affect, for example, the aforementioned Seth Rogen's performance.
Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin has already confirmed that the main role, now available again, will be very demanding, because Steve Jobs is in practically every shot. The film, the official name of which is still unknown, should contain three half-hour scenes, describing the happenings behind the scenes of the key presentations of new products.
Christian Bale is already the second famous actor to turn down the role of Steve Jobs. Initially, the producers were interested in Leonardo DiCaprio, but in the end he opted for the film The Revenant.
Well, I don't know, I find this role quite ungrateful and I'm not surprised that the latter reject it..
Is right. I also see that he is not suitable for Steve Jobs. But to be honest, I don't know who else a little known is suitable for him. Kutcher looks a lot like him, but his acting is another matter.
Noah Wyle
I'm all for Adam Sandler playing Jobs.
or Robin Williams… Oh wait…
