SYDNEY: The photos flying around of Michael Fassbender playing Apple icon Steve Jobs in Danny Boyle’s upcoming biopic, there hasn’t been much in the way of official photography. And while this is sort of somewhere in the middle, it’ll have to suffice, indiewire.com reports.
A reproduction of a vintage poster for the NeXT line of computers, featuring Fassy as the computer company’s honcho, has surfaced online. For viewers who have been following the film thus far, they will know that Aaron Sorkin’s script centres around the product launches of the Mac, NeXT and iPod in 1984, 1997 and 2001 respectively. The thing to keep in mind is that NeXT was actually the company that Steve Jobs started after he was ousted from Apple in the ’80s. It wasn’t a big hit, but elements such as its interface were influential on the industry.
