First trailer for the Aaron Sorkin’s Steve Jobs biopic shows up

We’re finally getting the first look at the new Aaron Sorkin movie based on Steve Jobs’ life. Universal Studios just released the first trailer of the film starring Michael Fassbender as Steve Jobs. We can’t tell yet what type of film it’s going to be like but we’re excited to see more.

The film is based on Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs biography and it also stars the likes of Seth Rogen as Steve Wozniak, Kate Winslet as Joanna Hoffman, and Jeff Daniels as John Sculley. The movie is directed by Danny Boyle and is scheduled for an October 9 release in the US. Will this be better than Pirates of Silicon Valley? Expectations are high, it definitely can't be worse than Ashton Kutcher's Jobs.
