Christian Bale Hired for Steve Jobs Role in Sorkin Biopic Without AuditioningScreenwriter Aaron Sorkin has confirmed in
a Bloomberg interview that actor Christian Bale will indeed star as Steve Jobs in Sorkin's upcoming biopic based on Walter Isaacson's 2011 biography of the Apple co-founder. Bale, who was
said last week to be in talks for the role, met with Sorkin but did not have to audition for the part.

“We needed the best actor on the board in a certain age range and that’s Chris Bale,” Sorkin told Bloomberg Television’s Emily Chang on a coming edition of “Studio 1.0.” “He didn’t have to audition. Well, there was a meeting.”
Shooting for the film will begin in the coming months in what will be a challenging role for the established actor. Bale reportedly will appear in every frame of the movie with speaking parts that exceed three movies combined. The movie
will focus on three 30-minute scenes that detail three different product launches.
The movie will be released by Sony, with Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle of
Slumdog Millionaire fame associated with the project.
