Sony’s Steve Jobs biopic has lost its star once
again. A couple of months ago, Leonardo
DiCaprio was being eyed to take on the role of
Apple founder Steve Jobs in Sony’s Aaron Sorkin -
scripted feature. While it took the studio a while
to find a director (David Fincher briefly flirted
with the gig), they finally signed Danny Boyle to
the project, and it was looking like a reteaming
with his The Beach star was in the cards .
DiCaprio never entered formal negotiations to
take on the part, and he subsequently left the
project, deciding that it would be cutting it too
close to finish working on the drama The
Revenant and move right into the ambitious role
of Steve Jobs. Quickly, though, the part came
back around to Christian Bale, who was
previously Fincher’s choice for the part .
Just over a week ago, Sorkin “confirmed” Bale’s
casting and noted that the actor was going to
crush the role. Unfortunately, Bale has now
decided to back out of the project as well.
