David Fincher Wants Christian Bale To Play Steve Jobs – Or he might leave the project altogether

20th March 2014 By Tim Isaac

David Fincher is known for being a man who knows what he wants, and if he doesn’t have the right ingredients he’s more than happy to step away from a movie. That seems to be happening with the biopic, Steve Jobs, which he signed up to direct a few weeks ago.

TheWrap reports that Fincher wants Christian Bale to play the Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He’s so determined that he needs the former Batman that he’s apparently told Sony Pictures chief Amy Pascal that he will only take on the movie if Bale stars.

So will the actor take the role? That’s completely uncertain, as he hasn’t even been officially approached about it yet, since he is currently taking time off after completing Ridley Scott’s Exodus.

While Fincher and Pascal reportedly had a difficult relationship during the making of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but Pascal is well aware of what a good filmmaker he is and so would like to keep him happy. However she can only do that with Bale’s agreement.

Aaron Sorkin is writing the script, which will tell the story of Steve Jobs’ life through the prism of thee keynote speeches – when he first launched the Mac computer, the NeXT, and the iPod. It’s likely to shoot either late this year of early next, with Sony already thinking about an Oscar run with a winter 20145 release.
