Seth Rogen and Jessica Chastain are eyed to join a new untitled Steve Jobs biopic in supporting roles. According to TheWrap, Rogen is considered to portray Steve Wozniak, who founded Apple with the late Steve Jobs.
Neither Chastain nor Rogen has deals in place, but if they get signed on, they will join Christian Bale who has already been tapped to take on the lead character. The coveted role was initially set for Leonardo DiCaprio, but he left the project.
Danny Boyle is set to serve behind the lens, replacing David Fincher who departed due to control issues. Aaron Sorkin writes script for the film based on the best-selling Steve Jobs biography penned by Walter Isaacson.
The story is expected to focus on the launches of Apple's original Macintosh computer (1984), NeXT Cube (1990), and original iPod (2001). "This entire movie is going to be three scenes, and three scenes only, that all take place in real time," Sorkin once said.
