David Fincher dropped out of the Steve Jobs biopic, which was written by Oscar and Emmy winner Aaron Sorkin, and was quickly replaced by Oscar winning director Danny Boyle.

Leonardo DiCaprio looks to be Boyle's #1 choice to play Steve Jobs. Will Leo finally get his Oscar?

Haven't there already been a few biopics on Jobs?

Is that the measure of a great man now, how many movies he has done about him?

I thought they pegged Christian Bale as the next Jobs?

Two things:

(1) I thought Leo was taking a break from acting

(2) A Jobs biopic based off of "Jobs" has already been made and sucked (apparently).

I love Danny Boyle and I love Leo, but give this subject matter a rest. Unless it's about Jobs slaying a bunch of poon and snorting a lot of drugs in a "loose interpretation" of Jobs' life. Then Leo and Boyle would be perfect.

ETA: Apparently the "Jobs" movie is not based on the "Jobs" biography.

Didn't Ashton Kutcher just do this poorly?

Bale was Fincher's choice but then Fincher dropped out so now the part is open.
