Any movie will have to compress characters and events to fit within a reasonable time frame. My suggestion is a 3 part epic ... sort of like Lord of the Rings.
Lord of the Apple - Fellowship of the apple
Steve and Steve, the early years, on the quest to build a computer and found a company.
Lord of the Apple - The Two OSs
Steve & Steve continue the quest and battle Microsofts legions - leads to Steve J being ousted by Scully.
Lord of the Apple - The return of the King
Begins with Steve J returning from the wilderness to Apple to remove the false king.

Aaron Sorkin is one of my favorite writers. Sports Night, West Wing, Studio 60, Social Network. The guy writes great dialog and would honor Steve's memory while making it entertaining.

Ha! How about TABA... There And Back Again
With Clint Eastwood as Treebeard (AKA Join Draper)... who was sent Waltzing Off to Withywindle.
I'd like Tarantino to be Director and Uma Thurman to play The Steve...

Wylie for the under 40 Jobs (hippie Jobs), Christian Bale for over 40 Jobs (business icon Jobs). Plus, Bale can handle all the swearing scenes. Sorry, Clooney. I think your phone is ringing...Soderberg wants to make another Oceans movie.

However, if we can have anyone then Christian Bale is definitely perfect. Norton would be a close runner up. Bale can be very likeable in one scene and then very intense in another. Perfect for Jobs. He also throws himself into the role and would probably slim down for the later years.
Jim Caviezel is my choice. Makeup can do anything, so this push for a lookalike (Aston Kutcher? Really?) is offbase. Using a "Tom Cruise" caliber A-lister is also offbase IMO.
Jim Caviezel last big role was Jesus, and with that role in mind I think he would do Mr. Jobs' story well--especially his later years--post 97.

You need to sell that to Hollywood.
Tom Cruise would be the worst choice ever. Besides, he's way too short.
I dunno. I can think of worse choices. William Shatner. "Schmidt you... dirty bastard I'm... going thermonuclear... if you... don't stop copying us."

Instead of 'KAHNNNNNNNN!'
'SCULLYYYYYYYYYY!'
Is this AppleInsider or Food Network Humor?
Actually... Both.

The best actor portrayals are usually by actors that don't look exactly like their real-life counterpart.
The less obvious the actor, the better performance the movie gets (imho).
I don't think Clooney or Wylie are going to give us anything we haven't seen before.
I'm going on a limb here and put Barry Pepper's name on the list.

+2. Creative.
I don't get all the hate for George Clooney.
We'll got a bad love movie with Angelina Jolie playing the role of one of his gf...
WOW
Can I preorder?
