However, the studio behind the movie, Universal Pictures, has decided to debut the film in just four theaters this weekend, before in opens in far more cineplexes nationwide on October 23.</p> <!--break--> <p>According to Deadline:</p>

<p>Though a studio offering, the title has some kinship with its more traditional specialty counterparts with a limited release positioned to capitalize on festival buzz."</p>

<p>The film was directed by Danny Boyle and stars Michael Fassbender as Jobs. Even though he looks nothing like Apple's co-founder, Fassbender's performance as Jobs is already generating a lot of praise from critics, with many seeing him getting an Oscar nomination. The movie also stars Seth Rogen as Apple's other co-founder Steve Wozniak, along with Kate Winslet as Joanna Hoffman and Jeff Daniels as John Sculley.</p> <p>Steve Jobs was written by Aaron Sorkin, and he based his script in part on the biography of Apple's co-founder by Walter Isaacson. Sorkin wrote the script in three acts, centering on a product launch. The first takes place in 1984, with the launch of the first Macintosh. The second occurs in 1988, when Jobs launched his ill-fated NeXT computer. The final act jumps ahead to 1998 when Jobs, now back at Apple, reveals the first iMac (http://www.imore.com/imac).</p> <p>Each act was filmed with different methods, according to Doyle:</p>

<p>"We used 16mm film for the first act because it felt like the early days and [

Steve Jobs] felt like the pirate and rebel breaking down the edifice of IBM. [Then we used] 35mm for the second act, which has a subterranean river of intention running through it… and then we moved to [digital] in the third part."</p> <p>Source: Deadline (http://deadline.com/2015/10/steve-jobs-trash-a-better-you-matt-walsh-ladrones-indie-box-office-1201571286/)</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
