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

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 (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-10-23/christian-bale-didn-t-have-to-audition-for-jobs-film-role.html). “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 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0168122/) in 1999. Then Ashton Kutcher kutchered up Jobs in last year’s Jobs (http://www.macworld.com/article/2046228/reviewing-jobs-one-of-a-kind-innovator-gets-by-the-numbers-biopic.html). 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 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1285016/).</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>
