I searched, didn't find any hits on here.

Aaron Sorkin needed a hero to star in his upcoming biopic on Steve Jobs, and that’s what he found in former Batman Christian Bale.
While talking with Bloomberg on Thursday, the 53-year-old Sorkin revealed that the British actor would be playing the title role in Jobs.
Based on the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson, Jobs will feature Bale, 40, in every frame of the film.

That kind of works. I don't like Christian Bale. I didn't like Steve Jobs.

I don't know if he can pull off the tall and skinny, but the douchey, "better than you" posture? CB has that down pat, already, before he even does his research and gets into character.

There's no one better at playing privileged, rich assholes than Bale.

Didn't we just get this movie with Kutcher

Jobs will be more famous for all the driving deaths he's allowed from the Iphone

When I think of words to describe Steve Jobs, I come up with: prick, aloof, flat, affectless...

Which is exactly how I'd describe Christian Bale.

How is that even possible without being hard to watch?

I love Christian Bale, but I really don't think he can pull this off.

Didn't we just have a Steve Jobs movie with Ashton Kutcher?

BTW, how was that?

So a pretentious, insufferable filmmaker hired an insufferable a-hole to play a rich, pretentious, insufferable a-hole. I think I'll skip out on this one.

Woz wrote the book that this one is based on.

Why is Jobs hated for being rich and an a-hole?

I'm sure anyone else could have accomplished what he did.....
