Laurene Powell Jobs convinced Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale not to star in the movie Steve Jobs produced by the Sony company, the two actors being the main choices of the producers at the beginning of last year.
According to an American publication, Laurene Powell Jobs personally called Christian Bale and Leonardo DiCaprio to convince them not to participate in the Sony project and it seems that she was convincing enough to fulfill her plans.
The two actors refused to confirm this information, but managers of Sony and other major production studios confirmed that Laurene Powell Jobs lobbied to stop the project for the Steve Jobs movie, but she did not have enough influence on Universal .
"Since the very beginning, Laurene Jobs has been trying to kill this movie, okay?" someone close to the film tells the Reporter. "Laurene Jobs called Leo DiCaprio and said, 'Don't do it.' Laurene Jobs called Christian Bale and said, 'Don't [do it].'"
Laurene Powell Jobs believes that the authorized biography of Steve Jobs written by Walter Isaacson, and which is the basis of the film Steve Jobs, does not present the truth about the former CEO of the Apple company, she says that any film based on it cannot "tell" the truth.
Although Laurene Powell Jobs and probably people from the management of Apple lobbied seriously to prevent the production of the Steve Jobs movie, it seems that in the end no one had enough power to convince Universal to abandon the project, so after 2 weeks it we will see in the cinemas.
