Universal Pictures will release the long-anticipated Steve Jobs movie on October 9, according to CNBC. The upcoming biopic, based on Walter Isaacson's official biography of the late Apple co-founder, is directed by Danny Boyle and stars Michael Fassbender as Steve Jobs and Seth Rogen as Steve Wozniak. Universal took over the film in November.
The filming of the movie began last month in the garage of Steve Jobs' childhood home, and will reportedly also take place at two auditoriums and a restaurant in the area. The movie will be focused upon three main scenes, including the unveiling of the NeXT computer, the debut of the original Mac, and the introduction of the iPod.

With these films being made after Jobs' death, and with Apple enjoying the success it currently is, my fear is that'll seep into the film coming across as a glorification, rather than an honest portrayal. I guess it's difficult to avoid, and that's why I think PoSV will remain the best film for people who want to see a film about Apple's roots.
Or Apple will simply announce that the movie has been added to everyone's iTunes library for free whether we want it or not. :D
That make sense. I think the original iMac is one of the first products Apple released after Jobs return. It was a huge hit and put Apple back in the minds of consumers. It also foreshadowed the new Apple, the one led by Jobs until his death.
