New 'Steve Jobs' Trailer Released
Another movie about Apple's influential co-founder, Steve Jobs is bowing in theaters soon. Universal's "Steve Jobs" is opening in theaters on October 9, 2015 and the movie recently released its first trailer. Another co-founder of Apple, Steve Wozniak, shared his thoughts about the trailer.
Wozniak is figured prominently in the film, and he is played by Seth Rogen. Michael Fassbender appears as Steve Jobs. His first comment was about how accurate the film portrayed him. The report said that he told Bloomberg that "he doesn't believe Seth Rogen's portrayal of him in the film is accurate," especially the part where his character accused Jobs of "hogging the spotlight."
He also said that the film did not show him and the way he speaks.

"I don't talk that way. I would never accuse the graphical interface of being stolen. I never made comments to the effect that I had credit (genius) taken from me," Wozniak said.
He specifically denied saying the exact words of one specific line that his character said in the trailer. In the trailer, his character told Jobs, "What do you do? You're not an engineer. You're not a designer. You can't put a hammer to a nail. I built the circuit board. The graphical interface was stolen. So how come, 10 times in a day, I read 'Steve Jobs is a genius?'"
However, he also said that he has uttered something that "carried the same message," summarizing his relationship with Jobs. Despite the film's "inaccuracies," he also acknowledged that he "felt a lot of the real Jobs" in the film, albeit a bit "exaggerated."
The film is very much unlike the Ashton Kutcher-starrer that was released previously. According to another report in Time, the trailer shows the film's negative portrayal of Jobs, "showing him going on tirades against employees and disavowing his own daughter."
The movie is written by Aaron Sorkin who also wrote "The Social Network" and directed by Danny Boyle. It retells behind the scenes of three major product launches in Apple history and it is based on the biography "Steve Jobs" written by Walter Isaacson.
