electric indigo Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I think Boyle's movie looks pretty cool from the trailer, Fassbender brings a lot of energy to his role. Apple should just pay him to play their CEO from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB0 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 That's the rumor. I'm not sure anyone has actually ever seen it, though.Woz read the script. They asked him to come on as a consultant AFTER writing the script, which tells you how seriously they took historical accuracy. Actually, they asked a few of the early Apple guys to sign on as consultants... all after writing the script. It was a big fat load of hero-worshipping crap with almost no basis in reality, by the accounts of men who were there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially that close after his death(I believe I called it "a crass and shameless cash grab"). But it was presented as a documentary, and the people that went likely believed it was.

But it was presented as a documentary, and the people that went likely believed it was. I *think* I caught the last half hour of that on Movie+, and, well, I was expecting something like "Social Network", a car-crash-in-progress-that-you-can't-stop-watching type of film. It was nothing like that. I just felt like I had watched an extended commercial for Apple, and felt quite cheated at that. I found "the '80's" documentary series on the Natgeo Channel far more interesting (historical accuracy being beside the point I'm making) when it came to presenting the founding and fortunes of the company.
