Danny Boyle’s new film Steve Jobs has had a few vocal critics.
The Apple co-founder’s widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, longtime Apple board member, Bill Campbell, and current Apple CEO, Tim Cook, have all aired their discontent about the movie, in UK cinemas November, 13.
But the director and his cast aren’t shying away from the criticism.
In an intimate round table, Boyle, Kate Winslet, Michael Fassbender, Jeff Daniels, Seth Rogen, Katherine Waterston and Michael Stuhlbarg discuss the the film and Apple pioneer himself.
British director Boyle defends his choice to take on the project: “I think it’s really important that huge figures are answerable, it’s not comfortable making films about them…it’s a very challenging portrait, it’s uncompromising, both the performance and the depiction of him, the writing, it shows many, many sides of him and that’s wonderful.”
Meanwhile, Jeff Daniels calls Jobs: “A creative genius, a pioneer, one of the great figures in world history.”
