Steve Jobs bio wraps London Film Festival
The 59th edition of the London Film Festival concluded Sunday with the European premiere of the Danny Boyle-directed biopic “Steve Jobs,” starring Michael Fassbender as the iconic co-founder of Apple.
The screenplay was created by Oscar-winning writer Aaron Sorkin, author of “The Social Network” and “The West Wing,” and is primarily based on an authorized biography of Jobs written by Walter Isaacson.
“What you don’t see in this movie is a dramatic recreation of his Wikipedia page,” Sorkin said at a news conference, acknowledging the work as a partial portrait with fictional elements.
The second biographical film to be released about Jobs after 2013’s “Jobs,” the script unfolds in three acts based around launches of Apple products: the Macintosh computer in 1984, the NeXT computer he launched in 1988 after being ousted from Apple, and the iMac in 1998.
