Titeln på den efterlängtade livshistoria som kommer att cirkulera runt Steve Jobs tidiga liv har fått en preliminär titel rapporterar Neowin. Filmen som väntas nå den vita duken det fjärde kvartalet i år heter Jobs: Get Inspired.
Efter Steve Jobs bortgång var det turbulenta dagar för bokhandeln i hela världen. Människor skrek efter Walter Isaacson biografi om Steve Jobs och boken nådde toplistan på bland annat Amazon. Nu när en filmatisering står inför oss riktas blickarna åter igen mot Jobs och hans liv.
Som tidigare rapporterat är det Ashton Kutcher som kommer att florera med glasögon och turtleneck på bioduken. Neowin har intervjuat stjärnan och personerna bakom filmen som ser fram emot projektet.
Joshua Michael Stern is known for directing the comedy Swing Vote. Why was he picked to direct Jobs?
We wanted a director who could not only buy into and execute our vision for the film but could also work within our framework as an independent film company. After several meetings with Josh we were confident we had found both a brilliant and collaborative director. As an experienced writer and director Josh has a masterful understanding of the process of film making.
Ashton Kutcher is, obviously, a huge Hollywood actor and he must have his pick of projects to choose from. First, why do you think he is your choice for playing Steve Jobs?
Since our film covers the early years of Apple, when Jobs was in his 20’s, we needed an actor who could carry not only the youthfulness of Jobs at the time but also the psychological complexity. Because of that, and Ashton’s physical similarities to Jobs, he’s perfect for our film.
Second, was it hard to get him to agree to play the role in a relatively small independent film about Jobs’ life?
When Ashton read the script he was immediately attracted to the project. He is a Steve Jobs and Apple fan, and is technologically savvy, as well, so he recognized the historical importance of Steve Jobs and the potential of the project. He is very excited to have the role.
