How many Jobs/Apple movies do we need?<p>Seems to be nothing more than cashing in on the iPhone generation's obsession and hype with one particular brand.<p>Why don't we have a decent Tesla movie? His life and events surrounding his inventions are remarkable, truly engrossing. World-changing in a way that blows Apple Computers or any internal corporate bullshit story or personal Steve Jobs issues out of the park.<p>Yet, where's the big time Hollywood treatment? Christian Bale as Tesla would work, with a good script and big time visuals spanning the 60 odd years of his life and work. Not cool enough?<p>The best we have is The Prestige. Great movie, but Tesla is not the focus, only a very interesting side story in that otherwise fictitious world.<p>FFS Hollywood, get it done! The man had visions of AC motors and dreams of generators at the base of Niagara Falls. Then he moves to America and actually achieves those dreams against all odds.<p>End of rant. Now, where were we? Ah yes, slow clapping Steve Jobs, the man, the genius. When he gets kicked out of Apple, it truly knifed me in the soul. This movie will be the best thing since we saw one man code Facebook out of nothing but PHP, computers and existing network infrastructure. That too, warmed the cockles.
Some interesting discussion by Woz and Robert Scoble on the topic: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble/posts/10153568918249655?comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22O%22%7D" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble/posts/1015356891824965...</a>
Marc Benioff and John Sculley on the thread too.
Probably singing to the choir, but <i>Founders at Work</i>[1] has a great interview with Wozniak that gives an interesting glimpse into some stories about Jobs in the early days of Apple. In true Woz fashion it also focuses a lot on the hardware he designed back then, which is also a real fun read.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/98233.Founders_at_Work" rel="nofollow">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/98233.Founders_at_Work</a>
