Washington: Michael Fassbender is in early talks to play the role of Steve Jobs in new biopic after Christian Bale refused the offer.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the makers of the Sony project, which is to be helmed by Danny Boyle, had previously approached Leonardo DiCaprio and Bale, both of whom had refused as DiCaprio had to shoot for ‘The Revenant,’ and ‘The Dark Night’ star didn’t feel he was right for the part.
The script is said to be divided into three acts that detail Jobs preparing for three presentations that came to define his life and the life of the company he co-founded, lost and came back to.
The film, which was penned by Aaron Sorkin, is being produced by Scott Rudin, Guymon Casady and Mark Gordon.
