Thank God. He's the only actor with the chop's or resemblence to SJ to play the part. Great casting; I just hope the script doesn't suck. Mac, Next & iPod are all very valid for the 3 acts of the film but can you really leave out other, more recent accomplishments- Pixar, iPhone...maybe iPad and basically saving Apple and recreating the most admired brand in the world ? The influence Jobs had goes so far beyond apple products. Not sure how you could even capture that on film actually. Maybe I just answered my own question.
This was my personal pick long ago...He can nail this. If they take some liberties with Jobs' portrayal (allowing Bale to stretch from Jobs' single-purpose public persona to incorporate some emotional range), with a well written script he will probably get a best actor nomination. How's that for a baseless opinion?
yeah, christian bale is probably a good choice, but i'm far more excited about the prospect of the boyle/sorkin team. now that is going to make me want to watch the film.
They were taking Leo for a little - after seeing him in the great gatsby, I think they made the right choice. If his attempt at impersonating an English accent is a foreshadowing, anyways. Also, happy with the director - dragon tattoo seemed very pigeon holed - would probably do the same with jobs. Slum dog, on the other hand, isn't afraid to be happy now and again, something wannabe artists struggle with.

Perfect casting
Yikes. A few scenes like that and many of us Apple fans will be wishing they hadn't made this movie.
Steve Jobs would never have done this.

Nice.
That is who I originally said should play the role. Awesome.
Michael Keaton was a better Steve Jobs than Christian Bale.

OK, you got a good one in there. That was funny.
You're still not forgiven for your "Bendghazi" hysteria, though.

Don't forget he was also known as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho.

Exactly
I pretty sure everyone agrees Ashton Kutcher looks the most like him but I understand why they won't use him.
You're aware Kutcher has already been in a Steve Jobs movie...right?
I was thinking Will Sasso
