Aaron Sorkin has come clean about his opposition to the casting of Michael Fassbender in new movie Steve Jobs after his emails about the film were exposed during last year?s Sony database hack. He tells The Hollywood Reporter he later sent Fassbender a letter: ?I said, ?Dear Michael, I fear that you?ve had to read that I didn?t want you to play this part?.? And he believes DiCaprio and Bale both bailed on the project after hearing from Jobs? widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, who has never been a fan of the film. But Fassbender understands the screenwriter?s initial reservations, adding, ?I was very nervous. It was going to be a big challenge, the volume of words alone. I was like, ?I don?t look anything like him.'?
The film was subject to many snags before filming began ? David Fincher was originally on board to direct and both Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale passed on the role of Jobs before new director Danny Boyle offered it to Fassbender.
