A new trailer for the forthcoming Steve Jobs biopic reveals dramatic family and business conflicts.
Jobs, portrayed by Michael Fassbender, is seen throughout the trailer dealing with recognizing and building a relationship with his daughter Lisa Brennan-Jobs.
Writer Aaron Sorkin told The Verge that Jobs' daughter, who consulted with him on the script, is the heroine of the film.
The Danny Boyle-directed flim – called simply “Steve Jobs” – is scheduled to debut in theaters on October 9.
Written by Aaron Sorkin, the liberal democrat donor drug addict ex of Maureen Dowd?
Yep, about Steve Jobs - you know, the guy who hosted Bill and Hillary at his house several times for sleepovers.

But Jobs was quite a guy. He understood creativity and modern business better than just about anyone. Bill Gates made more money, but I don't think the history books will extoll anything groundbreaking that Bill Gates managed to do. Jobs, on the other hand, really left the world a different place with the products he created and the way in which he produced them.
Yeah, if Sorkin is involved in any way, I’m out.
I think the most interesting thing about him, was how all the big-wigs treated him like an ignorant kid over his head, and then he managed to come back and wrest back control over the company he founded - and build it into a powerhouse. He was no ignorant kid. That's somewhat lost on a lot of Apple-haters. There are plenty of jerks (arrogant like Jobs), who can't be successful because they don't have the creativity of Jobs. And others like Gates who simply steal and cheat instead of create.
“Oh, how exciting. ...” /s
LOL
I thought Jobs himself said he was kind of ignorant the first time around.
Does this comment require a photo of Catherine Zeta-Jones?
how many turtlenecks were harmed to make this production
Maybe so. In the sense that he was far too trusting of people he brought into Apple like John Sculley, only to see them oust him from the company. Back then, they sidelined him and scuttled Jobs' decisions. For instance, he wanted to price the Mac cheaply below $2000 but the board priced it mid-$2500 and up. Lots of bad decisions were made after Jobs was ousted. His return showed him as a smarter man not allowing others to take control away from him again.
