Universal Pictures Gives Fans First Look at ‘Steve Jobs’

The first look at the Danny Boyle-directed Steve Jobs movie that’s set to premiere later this year was unveiled during last night’s Mad Men series finale.

The film suffered a number of setbacks during production, with both Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale dropping out of the project before star Michael Fassbender signed on, but from what we can see in the the teaser, it looks like just the right man ended up with the job.

Get a first look at a transformed Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen and Jeff Daniels in the new trailer, and read more about the film per Universal, below:

Set backstage at three iconic product launches and ending in 1998 with the unveiling of the iMac, Steve Jobs takes us behind the scenes of the digital revolution to paint an intimate portrait of the brilliant man at its epicenter.

The producers are Mark Gordon, Guymon Casady of Film 360, Scott Rudin and Academy Award® winner Christian Colson.

Michael Fassbender plays Steve Jobs, the pioneering founder of Apple, with Academy Award®-winning actress Kate Winslet starring as Joanna Hoffman, former marketing chief of Macintosh. Steve Wozniak, who co-founded Apple, is played by Seth Rogen, and Jeff Daniels stars as former Apple CEO John Sculley. The film also stars 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.
