Tomorrow morning will see the first titles announced for the Toronto Film Festival, a day later Venice will begin to reveal their slate, but the New York Film Festival has Steve Jobs starring Michael Fassbender will play the fest on October 3 as the Centerpiece selection.
The interesting thing to note here is that nowhere in the press release announcing the selection does the word “premiere” show up, which leads me to believe Steve Jobs will likely show up either in Toronto, Telluride or Venice before New York with my leanings suggesting either Telluride or Toronto. The fact the announcement arrives today is no coincidence, but we’ll have to wait a few more hours to find out.
With a screenplay written by Aaron Sorkin, working from Walter Isaacson’s best-selling biography, the film also stars Kate Winslet as Joanna Hoffman, Seth Rogen as Steve Wozniak, Jeff Daniels as John Sculley, Michael Stuhlbarg as Andy Hertzfeld and Katherine Waterston as Chrisann Brennan.
I’ve included the most recent trailer below.
