After a multitude of potential iterations including David Fincher at the helm and Christian Bale in the lead at Sony, Universal Pictures picked up the Aaron Sorkin-scripted Steve Jobs biopic with Danny Boyle directing and Michael Fassbender taking the role of the legendary innovator. With production recently wrapping up, they’ve now dropped the first trailer about five months ahead of release.
Set backstage at three iconic product launches and ending in 1998 with the unveiling of the iMac, the film goes “behind the scenes of the digital revolution to paint an intimate portrait of the brilliant man at its epicenter.” The first trailer is brief, as we get only a few glimpses of the characters and some small bits of dialogue, but it’ll be interesting to see how Boyle and Fassbender bring to life Sorkin’s script. Also starring Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, Jeff Daniels, Katherine Waterston, and Michael Stuhlbarg, check it out below.
Steve Jobs opens on October 9th, 2015.
