I'm curious - is there really enough (of interest) in el Jobs' life to make a good film? Yes, there's forming Apple (with Steve W), leaving to do other things (including supporting Pixar - major thumbs up from me), and then returning to Apple to save it from obscurity - but is that enough for film length coverage rather than an hour long documentary?

What would concern me is that we'll see a lot of "creativity" being applied to the facts - so we'll get a heroic "one visionary against a cruel world that didn't understand him" type piece. That would be bad - imho - as it'd obscure his undoubted achievements, like co-founding Apple, saving it, supporting Pixar, supporting the iPhone/iPod designers, the "ease of use above all" vision, etc.

The “Jobs” biopic starring Ashton Kutcher still has no firm release date.

If you fancy a wry smile then check out the HeyUGuys review of that Kutcher film - a real Freddy Kruger deal.

Yes, that sounds terrible. I think iSteve will be a lot more bearable, hopefully funny. As good a biopic as The Strike was for Arthur Scargill perhaps.
