THE CHOSEN ONE: Micheal Stuhlbarg will play an Apple developer in the upcoming movie about Steve Jobs.
In Danny Boyle's upcoming feature, the actor seen in the Coen brothers' A Serious Man and in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine will play a computer developer and longtime Apple employee, Deadline reports.
While previous rumours indicated he would play a journalist, Michael Stuhlbarg is actually cast as Andy Hertzfeld, a computer engineer and a member of the Apple team that developed the first Macintosh Operating System. Hertzfeld worked closely with Steve Jobs until 2005, when he left to join Google.
After several unexpected turns -- including the successive departures of Leonardo DiCaprio, Christian Bale and Natalie Portman, as well as Sony's decision to drop the project, allowing Universal to pick it up -- the Steve Jobs biopic finally seems to be on the right track.
Adapted from Walter Isaacson's official biography Steve Jobs by screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, the feature will be helmed by Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) with Michael Fassbender in the role of the tech guru and Seth Rogen as Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. — AFP/RelaxNews 2014
