Are we going to have a movie about Norman Borlaug, Dennis Richie or Douglas Engelbart as well? What made the movie industry pick Jobs as the topic? I honestly don't understand it.
You don't understand it? You can't fathom why Steve Jobs gets a movie and those guys that you need a CS degree to recognize don't? Keep thinking.

as Steve Jobs? His life is up to the very end the stuff many a film can be made of.
Imagine just one of the most recent the scenes: being on the hospital bed weighting like 50 pounds and rejecting the medicine equipment that was "not designed nicely enough!"
Even his "bad" side is what makes his life more thankful for films.

Unless you can sell their stories in the time proven 127 minute, 2 peaks setup and market them to a major studio, I doubt it will get any traction. The only other option would be that the people who care about it fund it, but even though that pool might seem large inside of the tech microcosmos, it's comparitively small, and you'll have a low budget movie that has trouble being shown in theaters. Engelbart could actu…

Can you honestly name other people in the computer business that during their lives lived with that much charisma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charisma as Steve Jobs?

I haven't seen it, but I hope they show in the end that it is just not important to be a successful entrepreneur, but a good human being as well, which Steve Jobs failed miserably at.
I'm looking forward to catching it. I know the history; I want to see it dramatised. I mean, I even enjoyed Pirates of Silicon Valley…
From the trailers & preview material I was worried the movie might be deceptive. Specifically the scenes with Woz and Jobs in the parking lot and later in the office. In an interview Wozniak said the parking lot conversation never took place and got the underlying feelings incorrect.
