Kate Winslet May Take on Lead Female Role in Jobs Biopic
Actress Kate Winslet is currently in negotiations to play the lead female role in the upcoming Jobs biopic, reports
Variety. Winslet, aged 39, is best known for dramatic movies like
Titanic,
Divergent,
All the King's Men, and
Finding Neverland.
It remains unclear what role Winslet will play, but female parts in the movie are rumored to include Steve Jobs' daughter Lisa Brennan and Katie
Cotton, Apple's well-known former PR lead.
Natalie Portman was formerly in talks to play a major female role in the film, but she
pulled out of negotiations in early December. Actress Jessica Chastain, of
The Help, may also be in talks for a part.
After some difficulties in casting, it seems the Job biopic is finally taking shape. Both
Leonario DiCaprio and
Christian Bale passed on the role of Steve Jobs, leading it to be
taken by Michael Fassbender, and the role of Steve Wozniak will be
played by Seth Rogen.
According to
Variety, Jeff Daniels is still being considered for the role of former Apple President John Scully, and Boardwalk Empire's Michael Stuhlbarg recently
signed on to play Andy Hertzfeld, one of the members of the original Macintosh development team.
The Jobs biopic, now
owned by Universal Pictures, is based on Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs biopic. Penned by Aaron Sorkin, the movie will consist of three continuous 30-minute scenes that cover
three of Steve Jobs' product launches - the NeXT cube, the original Mac, and the iPod.
