What you notice about both the photo above, butespeciallythe onesat the top link, is that Fassbender kind of just looks like himself. Yes he’s got the early Jobs haircut, and Jobs was known earlier in his life to wear more dapper clothing, but it’s not the jeans, black t-shirt, shaved-head icon we think of today.Steve Jobscenters onthree key events in Jobs life: the original Mac; Jobs’s NEXT cube computer; and the Apple iMac. That means it only goes up till 1998 so though there will be some other flashbacks and stuff, it doesn’t really get into the modern Internet era, or Jobs' passing.
Which is all to say, Sorkin and Boyle are making a very unique version of Jobs' life, and these photos convey that.
UPDATE: The release date has been revealed as August 22, 2025, which all but guarantees a premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. Here’s the new official synopsis:
