Which actor should play Steve in upcoming biopic? After this week's announcement that the late Steve Jobs will be remembered through a Hollywood biopic, the obvious question facing Sony Pictures is… which actor gets the nod for the lead role? The film rights to Walter Isaacson's biography, due to be published later this month, was snapped up by Sony Pictures for a healthy sum …
Woody Allen? Only if Steve shot a moose once. He put tied it to the hood of the car, and was driving home.
[Great, now I need to listen to that old Moose bit again.]
And there's law in New York about driving through the Holland Tunnel with a live moose strapped to your car on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and alternate Saturdays ...
Jobs was a major control freak who dressed in black all the time, took centre stage at huge rallies of rabidly fanatic followers who practically deified him, tried to conquer the world (and failed), and died aged 56. Last time they needed someone to play someone with those characteristics, Bruno Ganz knocked it out of the park.
(NB: all similarities are cosmetic. Jobs didn't improve the world by dying, for starters.)
Jobs playing Jobs *might* not be too difficult.
Not sure about the dialogue.
Although using motion capture Polar Express style (and the new Tin tin movie) tends to give a much creepier effect. A sense of not-quite-rightness which has a certain appeal.
It could be "The Social Network" of 2011.
Although I suspect it will be more like Transformers 3.
Anyone remember the Bruce Lee film, shot after/during when he died?
A villain came in to the dressing room and gave a karate kick.
Actor almost fell from behind the cardboard cutout.
Comical, if hewasn't one of my faveourite performers in the 70's.
