- 9 years ago
A weekend screening of "Steve Jobs," a biopic about Apple's famous co-founder, drew high praise from some reviewers and suggestions that actor Michael Fassbender could be an Oscar contender for his portrayal of Jobs.
While the positive views were not unanimous, Variety.com was impressed.
Its reviewer said that Fassbender, director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, gave Jobs "the brilliant, maddening, ingeniously designed and monstrously self-aggrandizing movie he deserves."
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak said he was impressed with the movie, according to Deadline Hollywood.
The movie, due to be released by Comcast's Universal Pictures on October 9, is expected to be shown at the New York Film Festival.
Indiewire said Boyle would return to the editing room to put the finishing touches on the movie before the New York screening.
