Universal este una dintre cele mai mari case de productie cinematografica de pe glob, iar la sfarsitul anului trecut a cumparat de la Sony Pictures pentru 30 de milioane de dolari dreptul de a produce filmul Steve Jobs. Realizat in baza singurei biografii autorizate scrise pentru legendarul CEO al companiei Apple, filmul are de ceva vreme o distributie si filmarile au inceput chiar in cursul saptamanii trecute. Avand in vedere toate acestea, cei de la Universal au anuntat oficial in cursul noptii trecute planurile cu privire la modul in care vor produce viitoarea pelicula, iar mai jos vorbim despre toate.
Conform Universal, dar si a zvonurilor care s-au dovedit a fi adevarate, Michael Fassbender il va interpreta pe Steve Jobs, Seth Rogen il va interpreta pe Steve Wozniak, Kate Winslet o va interpreta pe Joanna Hoffman, fosta sefa de marketing a diviziei Macintosh, Jeff Daniels il va interpreta pe John Sculley, CEO-ul care l-a inlocuit pe Steve Jobs in 1984, Katherine Waterson o va interpreta pe Chrisann Brennan, una dintre fostele iubite ale lui Steve Jobs, iar Michael Stuhlbarg il va interpreta pe Andy Hertzfeld, unul dintre membrii cheie ai echipei Macintosh.
Intreaga distributie este compusa din actori care au jucat intr-o multitudine de filme produse la Hollywood care au avut succes in cinematografele din lumea intreaga. In aceasta idee, vom avea parte de un film pe cinste, iar conform zvonurilor, el ar trebui lansat pana la sfarsitul anului.
