Shortly after Steve Jobs died it looked like there was going to be a real race to see which of two biopics would make it to cinemas first. While the Ashton Kutcher starring Job is already over a year old, the one with a script by Aaron Sorkin is still in the works.
Back in April Danny Boyle signed up to direct, and now he may have snared his lead – a man rumoured for the role some time ago who now appears to be coming aboard, Christian Bale. Boyle had been in talks with Leo DiCaprio, but when things stalled they went back to Bale, who seems interested, according to THR.
The Steve Jobs biopic will be based on Walter Isaacson’s biography, which was written following numerous interview with the man himself and those around him. Sorkin has said that the movie will centre around three key speeches, where Jobs announced the innovative Apple products Mac, NeXT, and the original iPod. Apple’s other co-founder, Steve Wozniak, is serving as a consultant on the film.
Things went a bit sideways last week when David Fincher left the planned biopic of Steve Jobs, which Social Network screenwriter Aaron Sorkin has been working on the script for. The issue appears to have been Fincher demands over pay and control, which Sony wasn’t willing to bend to.
Danny Boyle may have decided on a new movie as 
It looks like Danny Boyle’s Trance is going to be a lot more gory than you might expect, especially if you know the premise, which sounds like a pretty standard thriller. However this new Red Band trailer shows us we’re going inside James McAvoy’s mind for some strange sights, where not even having half his head blown off can stop Vincent Cassel’s character.
Trance has had a slightly unusual production process, as it was shot during late 2011, but then director Danny Boyle had to go off and put together the Olympics Opening Ceremony, and so the editing and other post production was put on hold until the summer festivities were over.
