Looking at the pics, it seems like the producers desperately wanted Bale. They got Fassbender to look like Bale rather than Jobs!
I can't stand Seth Rogan. I couldn't stand him in any movie I've seen him in. Heck, Jonah Hill would have been a better Woz.
Agree on the bad makeup jobs on Pierce in Prometheus and Nixon from Watchmen. I find makeup jobs to be pretty substandard in general. I mean way back in 1992 we had godawful old age makeup on Linda Hamilton as Sarah Conner in T2 and we still haven't gotten better.
Some exceptions are in Cloud Atlas but even there, certain Tom Hanks and Hugh Grants had some dodgy makeup.
Is this a joke? It better be a really compelling movie to make up for actors that have no resemblance to the characters they're playing! If it isn't then straight to DVD it is then.

Maybe it's an X-Men spin-off masquerading as a Steve Jobs biopic. Rogen will actually turn into Mystique part of the way through when they're invited for lunch to the White House. That would be much better.

Wolverine changed history and then Magneto invented Apple so he could control the world's information?
What about Guy Pearce as a very old Peter Weyland in Prometheus? I don't get why they even needed Guy Pearce in that role at all, unless they've planned on doing some pre-prequel, sequel where Peter Weyland is some how made young again (e.g.: clone?), or a new direction for the Alien franchise. Regardless, there is no excuse for his horrible makeup in that flick.
They had to make that movie consistently bad all over.
Did anyone else see Prometheus as really nothing more than a teen age slasher flick? People (SCIENTISTS of all people), doing stupid stuff on a hostile planet and getting killed off? Stupid all over. And I didn't understand how it fit in with Aliens and didn't understand the beginning and the end.

I don't think it's necessary to look like someone in order to effectively portray them.
However...
As I and others have said, the best thing to do would be to make a sequel to the Pirates of Silicon Valley movie. Pick up where it left off and go to SJ's death. Get the same cast back. There's nothing that could beat that.
Agree 100%. That movie was the closest thing to reality, both story and character-wise.

I wonder if the only reason Mr Rogen got the part was because of his religion, which is always highly regarded in Hollywood circles.
It would be hilarious and not surprising at all if they didn't put any make up on Michael Fassbender as he plays Steve Jobs over a 20 year period. Boyle be like: "just roll with it."
The Mac reveal will be Fasbender popping in. Shaking a few hands.
"Walk with me" he'll say. And everybody ( about 5 journalists and a lacky) trundle out of Flint and walk around in circles as he discourses on a slightly conspiratorial history of personal computing.
He can't demo much but he lovingly, articulately, describes MacPaint. They reach a park bench. A bird flies by. They eat some ice cream.
If you believe CGI is a viable option then you really shouldn't be complaining about some paparazzi taking photographs of actors walking around, unless you expect it to be an Avatar like production where the actors are in some green spandex suits with Styrofoam balls attached at their articulation points.
I don't care how they do it, that's their problem. It's for them to figure out and solve. And the actors wouldn't have to wear green spandex suits with styrofoam balls attached to their body, because the body is irrelevant, the main thing that they need to get right would be the face.
All I know is that these pics look totally ridiculous and terrible.
Too right.
SolipsismY was missing the point. If they can't get Fassbender to look extremely like Jobs, this movie will fail. Looks distinctly discouraging so far.
I think Fassbender and Jobs both have an air of arrogance about them, but I think Fassbender has a suave arrogance and Jobs was a confrontational arrogance. My guess is it's neither going to do well in either ticket sales or awards.

Mr Rogans religion didn't even occur nor matter to me, but it does to you, an anti-semite it seems. Speaking of religion, the Irish/German Catholic Fassbender looks even less like Jobs who was half Arab Syrian half German American, than Rogan does to Wozniak...I see that predictably Jew-bashing in Europe is as strong as ever.

Honestly, I enjoyed it.
The whole thing stunk.

Seth is playing Seth Rogan playing Woz. Hence the curly hair.
So lots of fast walking and talking.

Credits roll.

Coming to a cable channel near you?

I don't think you got Jobs at all.

Maybe so, but the comment was still uncalled for and bigoted.
