Universal Pictures Sunday released its first trailer for the upcoming Steve Jobs biopic.
Yes, the one the doesn’t star Ashton Kutcher.
“Steve Jobs” has Michael Fassbender in the title role, which had previously been offered to Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale (both of whom bailed).
In the trailer, we get a fleeting look at Fassbender as Jobs, as well as at Kate Winslet as former Macintosh marketing chief Joanna Hoffman, Seth Rogen as Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Jeff Daniels as former Apple CEO John Sculley.
Almost all of the “action” in the one-minute trailer is via voice-over. At one, reports E! Online, Wozniak says to Jobs: “You can’t write code. You are not an engineer. What do you do?”
Jobs responds, “The musicians play the instruments. I play the orchestra. I sat in a garage and invented the future, because artists lead and hacks ask for a show of hands.”
The film, directed by Danny Boyle off a screenplay by Aaron Sorkin, is due in theaters Oct. 9.
