    Picture Noah Wyle portraying an angry Steve Jobs... now picture Edward Norton.



    ... and, imo, Norton has more acting acting chops all around than Wyle.



    Johhny Depp would have been better than Clooney.



    Whew... I'm glad they didn't mention Robert Pattinson!

    Good choice. He's got acting chops but what about the young SJ.

    George Clooney? That's terrible casting. Terrible, terrible casting.



    Noah Wyle is the guy. I don't even understand why this is a question. Did these people not watch Pirates of Silicon Valley? Wyle's performance was outstanding.

    Jobs was a well documented asshole. Does that make Clooney a fitting choice?

    Wyle has already proved he can play Jobs, I say give "the job" to him.



    I can see why someone might mention Crazy Tom Cruise, but I don't think he'd be the right choice.

    Give Tucci a gallon of Rogaine to pull off the young SJ?

    Neither was Steve Jobs. You just have to play a convincing asshole.

    Well at least he wasn't the "gay Batman" with the fake nipple suit.

    No. Nothing makes Clooney a fitting choice.

    I wonder what makes Noah Wylie think he has much sway these days.



    More interestingly, who will play Woz? We need a smaller version of the actor who played Rubeus Hagrid. What's his name? Robbie Coltraine? Maybe they will shrink his height with special effects the same way he was stretched in the Harry Potter films.

    Damn straight he can. He can do Steve's infamous unblinking stare too.

    The part of Woz will be played by Woz.

    Young Woz will be played by CG head Woz on body-double Woz, and voiced by Woz (like they did with Jeff Bridges in that Tron sequel).
