Honestly, I don't know why anyone would be interested in this outside of Fassebender. His story just isn't that interesting.

(I know people worship the guy, I just don't get it. He's a businessman and a great re-inventor. That's about it.)

He was an a-hole. And therefore that makes him complex. Hollywood loves that kind of thing.

He is the greatest businessman in recorded history, imo. He revolutionized multiple industries (computer, phone, music), and that is without giving him much credit for Pixar outside of buying it from Lucas in '85 and financing it for 10 years before Toy Story came out.

I'm not a Steve Jobs fan, but his life and atypical personality is interesting enough to make a film.

When you add a strong cast, talented writer, and director (I really like Boyle), then people will naturally be interested. I mean David O. Russell's biopic film with Jennifer Lawrence about some relatively unknown (compared to Jobs) home shopping network woman looks interesting.

Frankly, whether you're personally interested or not, I find it strange that a person with your film knowledge would have trouble understanding why OTHERS would be interested.
