Os fabricantes não se importavam com ele parecendo o verdadeiro Steve Jobs:
According to the film’s director, Danny Boyle ("Trainspotting"), the decision to not have Fassbender look like Jobs was made very early on.
"We were very clear right from the get-go that this wasn't about a physical impersonation at all," Boyle told Business Insider. "It was about inhabiting, it's almost Shakespearean. He's historically accurate to a degree, but then he is our version of him, and there will be other versions."
Sorkin, who also spoke with Business Insider before the film premiered at the New York Film Festival over the weekend, said he instantly agreed with Boyle's instinct.
Sorkin said the way Fassbender looked in the new film "just isn't important."
