Aaron Sorkin knew the man he wanted for the job, and didn’t even have Christian Bale audition for the upcoming role as Steve Jobs. Screenwriter Sorkin said that the two had a meeting, but Bale did not need an actual audition. According to Sorkin in a recent Bloomberg interview, “We needed the best actor on the board in a certain age range and that’s Chris Bale.” The Dark Knight star apparently beat out other high profile actors up for consideration, including Leonardo Dicaprio and Matt Damon.
Sorkin has given more clues about what is in store for the role of Steve Jobs, and he describes it as “extremely difficult.” Bale will also reportedly have an extraordinary amount of lines as Jobs and truly take on a leading role. “There isn’t a scene or a frame that he’s not in. So
it’s an extremely difficult part and he is gonna crush it.”
The writer behind such popular shows as The West Wing, Sorkin also brought viewers The Social Network. He has created the Jobs manuscript based on Walter Isaacson’s 2011 biography of Steve Jobs. Filming will reportedly start in just a few months.
