[/QUOTE] It probably is the script but Sorkin is usually pretty reliable so I was thinking it might be more of a problem with the producers... they seem to very committed to a certain time frame and with all the shifting personalities it seems like it would be wise to take time to get everyone on the same page.

Bale has said in interviews that he hates working on studio films that forge ahead before they've sorted out pre-production.[/QUOTE]

Exactly. Producers probably want to rush things and get this film done for 2016's Awards Season. I trust a lot on Sorkin and Boyle, I think the problem is with the studio mostly. Leo has already said that he wants to take a rest. I didn't know this about Bale but it fits perfectly on this film's current status. It's a shame because he could do an incredible Steve Jobs but anyaway...

Just wanted to add, Leo isn't resting he decided to film Revenant with Tom Hardy. I don't know if this movie is the reason he dropped the Steve Jobs bio or not.

Yes, Leo gained some weight and let his beard grow because of The Revenant. I'm saying after this film ;) It seems that Sony wants to shoot Jobs in the Winter, for a 2015's release. By then Leo would be free I guess so the argument of resting would be valid. But this is according to The Guardian.

Hi to everyone!:DI’m a longtime lurker here!
Like other people on here,I’ve some doubts about this Jobs biopic . All these Actors dropping out don't inspire much confidence about the prduction,but Michael has shown great intelligence in his choices,taking interesting material and making it better. In regard to Sorkin,I can't imagine anyone else adapting the Isaacson's biography.

Hi and welcome! :p I have my doubts about Michael doing this but not because of writers or director but the role itself. Michael rarely does bad films. To be honest, I've never seen him in a really bad movie. He choses pretty well his roles. Michael can do anything but I don't know if Jobs is right for him so let's see what he will decide.

But if he eventually accepts it, this means that he will have two roles which might lead him to the Oscars in 2016?

No, nothing like that, beyond that they were "friendly" and "private"--I think; I'm going on memory. Certainly nothing more "incriminating" than that, which of course could be said about two good friends or co-workers, especially if they are in the public eye. She was then asked a number of follow-up questions that were pushing the romance angle, and that probably led her to delete. There was nothing definitive beyond Alicia's presence. As said by someone earlier, there's nothing surprising about a dinner with a costar--making anything else of it beyond that is just interpretation. But I do think the original tweets are the reasons for the fb page, that is otherwise puzzling!

You did well to point it out ,just in case someone goes around taliking nonsense.You know,the usual stuff.. :DPr persons who silence restaurants,people on twitter and fb fanpages. :laugh:She deleted her tweets because people were becoming insistent and were reading too much into it. She didn’t say they were romantically involved. Just for the record,the post about them dining together is still on his fb fanpage. If it doesn’t have the screenshot of the other tweets it’s because they were soon deleted.

Thanks!:smile1: Writer and director are not the problem. Fincher would have been perfect,but Boyle is a good replacement. There are some bad movies in Michael's work history:D,but he didn't have much choice. In the last few years his choices have been really interesting. I think that even The Counselor will be rivalued.:p

Yeah, true. But I've only seen the good ones like Fish Tank, Hunger, Shame, A Dangerous Method and so on. I loved The Counselor LoL A lot of people didn't enjoy it but I found it amazing. I like Ridley Scott's films that are different than his huge blockbusters. And Michael is amazing on that movie. OMG, his first scene with Penelope Cruz, jeez! And his last scenes almost made me cry.

It makes some good points. Considering that Bale resembles more Jobs,I was also surprised seeing how many people prefer Michael to him.There's some unexepected enthusiasm:p Comments like "I'll see everything he's in" are declarations of love!:p
I think that Di Caprio (who IMO doesn’t have the right facial shape too) dropped out because he wanted to work with Sorkin AND Fincher,and I can see the reason. Fincher is the perfect match for Sorkin’s works and I assume that the script is as good as anticipated. I don’t know what happened with Bale.. there could be many reasons. Maybe it’s true that he didn’t feel himself suited for the role and I think Michael is smart enough to do the same, if he has no time to prepare for itor if he feels that it's not the role for him.
Actually I’m changing my mind about the physical resemblance.With the right adjustments it could work and Michael is able to give the gravitas necessary to make people paying less attention to the physical details. He can also rock a turtleneck like nobody!:D

I have my doubts about the Steve Jobs role. I hope he won't take it. But this article from Time is very interesting. The biography on which the script is based was written by a former Time managing editor, but there had been no coverage by Time on the movie, until now.

Ashton has the perfect look to be Steve Jobs and he did a nice job, the problem of that film is the terrible script. This one seems to be quite good and has great names involved in it. I think that Michael can do this and give an amazing performance and even win awards for it but I don't know if he's doing it with so many projects to be shot and promoted in 2015.

Yes,I agree with you,the main problem was the script. Michael's schedule might be a problem too. Let's see what happens.

The Counselor's extended cut is better. There are many details that help the rhythm.
