The latest film about the life of Steve Jobs, starring Michael Fassbender with Gilliam Anderson and written by Aaron Sorking it was nothing else in terms of awards. However in terms of collection, the film was a real disaster that did not get back the money that the producer had invested.
The main protagonist of the film, Michael Fassbender who got into the role of Steve Jobs, just stated at the Toronto International Film Festival, that he was about to break an arm to be able to leave the project in which he had gotten himself.
As stated by the protagonist himself:
When the first rehearsals started, I was trying to find an excuse to be able to abandon this project. I remember saying to my driver "If I put my arm in the door, you close it ...". I had the need to abandon the very complicated project in which I had gotten myself.
This project went through many hands before Fassbender finally accepted the role. Leonardo DiCaprio and Cristian Bale were some of the first options of the Sony production company. Fassbender finally did and a great job that earned him the nomination for the last edition of the Academy Awards, but it was not the only one, since he was also nominated for the British BAFTAs and the Golden Globes. In all the nominations, Leonardo DiCaprio snatched the award from him.
Fassbender says that when he started reading Aaron Sorkin's script realized that this project was complicated. He affirms that he felt like an apprentice who had a hard time getting the role and realized that this role was not for him, but for someone else better qualified to play the figure of Jobs.
