Seth Rogen sets aside his funny bone and sometimes tasteless antics to portray Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak in director Danny Boyle and writer Aaron Sorkin’s biopic film, Steve Jobs.
Anyone who had reservations about whether Rogen’s largely comedic film history might negatively influence this crucial performance can flush them down the toilet. Rogen plays Wozniak from the heart with raw emotion and stands strong against Michael Fassbender as the film’s namesake, Steve Jobs, in this new Steve Jobs movie clip released earlier today.
This Steve Jobs clip embodies everything we expect to see from a film of this magnitude with the talent involved. Both actors are at the top of their game and play wonderfully off one another. The direction from Boyle is spot on. And Sorkin’s writing delivers a memorable and prophetic line that I won’t quote here as it plays best when heard first.
Steve Jobs opens in select theaters tomorrow, October 9th, and will see a wide release on October 23rd. The film also stars Joanna Hoffman as the former marketing chief of Macintosh; Jeff Daniels as former Apple CEO John Sculley; Katherine Waterston as Chrisann Brennan, Jobs’ ex-girlfriend; and Michael Stuhlbarg as Andy Hertzfeld, one of the original members of the Apple Macintosh development team.
