Christian Bale to play Steve Jobs because the Steve Jobs bio-pics must never end<article>

It’s confirmed: Christian Bale, who transformed into a remarkably entertaining comb-over enthusiast in
American Hustle, will play Steve Jobs in the upcoming bio-pic based on Walter Isaacson’s authorized biography, aptly titled
Steve Jobs. The news comes directly from Aaron Sorkin, who’s writing the screenplay for the new movie.</p><p>
“We needed the best actor on the board in a certain age range and that’s Chris Bale,” Sorkin
told Bloomberg Television. “He didn’t have to audition.”</p><p>
And thus another Steve Jobs movie has a leading man. Noah Wyle did a fine job with Jobs in
Pirates of Silicon Valley in 1999. Then Ashton Kutcher kutchered up Jobs in last year’s
Jobs. Bale will begin shooting his role in the next couple of months, and the smart money says this new take on Jobs will actually be worth watching. Bale is a riveting actor, and Sorkin is a wonderful screenwriter who’s already elevated the mythos of Silicon Valley into something quite palatable via
The Social Network.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2838186/christian-bale-to-play-steve-jobs-because-the-steve-jobs-bio-pics-must-never-end.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
