From Kerry to Silicon Valley

From Kerry to Silicon Valley

There’s certain things that are almost guaranteed to happen in the world of cinema.

The hero will always save the day, Disney will continue to run the world and any film that’s directed by Danny Boyle and written by The Social Network and The West Wing scribe Aaron Sorkin is bound to be good.

Really good.

It also helps that their upcoming Steve Jobs biopic features the incredibly gifted Michael Fassbender in the lead role as the tech genius.

The first footgae of the film has been released and we’re liking the angle that the filmmakers have decided to take on this one.

Take a look as the Apple genius gets set to walk out on stage and deliver one of his trademark keynote speeches.

You would have noticed that Seth Rogen made an appearance, in character as Apple co-creator Steve Wozniak, while Kate Winslet and Jeff Daniels were also kind enough to show up.

The project may have had some difficulty in getting off the ground but it seems like it’s not shying away from the complexities of Jobs’ life.

The film is set for release on October 9th.
