10 Most Hotly-Anticipated Historical Films Still To Be Released In 2015

4. Steve Jobs

A film for all Apple and technology lovers, "Steve Jobs" will tell the biopic of the Apple Inc co-founder, who died of a tumour-related respiratory arrest back in October 2011 having led the company to become one of the most-dominant brands in world history. With Michael Fassbender handpicked to play Jobs - a role he should be adept at, even if he bears little-to-no physical resemblance to the Apple co-founder - by director Danny Boyle (of "Slumdog Millionaire" and London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony fame), this film will go behind the scenes of three iconic product launches, supposedly ending in 1998 with the unveiling of the iMac. Although it should offer an interesting insight into both Jobs' everyday life at the time and the digital revolution of the 1980s and 1990s, it seems strange that the story should finish in 1998 and not continue through to the iPod, iPhone and iPad ages - when Jobs and Apple really began to dominate the worldwide technology scene. Due for release in October in the US and November in the UK, this film - based on an Aaron Sorkin screenplay, which itself was adapted from Walter Issacson's biography of Jobs - could be brilliant due to the presence of Fassbender (as Jobs) and Kate Winslet (as Joanna Hoffman, a member of the original Mac team), although the casting of Seth Rogen in a straight role as Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak could prove to be a risk.
