Natalie Portman Rumored for Steve Jobs Biopic

Natalie Portman is in talks for the main female part in Danny Boyle’s Steve Jobs biopic, Deadline announces. The stream of bad luck surrounding the Apple movie seems to be over as a class actors are announced as rumors or as established characters. The project not only moves forward with an entirely fresh and provocative cast, but switches camp between Sony and Universal. We can only hope that these are reasons enough for Boyle’s movie to stand, because there have been fears that the movie will not resist.

If the rumors surrounding the attachment of Natalie Portman to the ‘’Job’’ become reality, she will be the third actor to officially join the team of director Danny Boyle. The biopic cheers at the idea of having found its lead in the person of Michael Fassbender. The actor who has recently left the ‘’rumor zone’’ in order to be legitimately called Steve Jobs is known for parts in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds (2009), Prometheus (2012) or as X-Men’s Erik Lehnsherr. The position of the Apple founder has been disputed, joined and eventually abandoned by many actors, including grand names like Leonardo DiCaprio or Christian Bale – after confirming for the movie, Bale confessed that the part did not become him and left the core character of the movie unattended. Another name attached to the project is Seth Rogen (Superbad – 2007, Pineapple Express – 2008, This Is the End – 2013), who joined as Steve Wozniak.

Before Natalie Portman, another actress was rumored to join the Steve Jobs biopic and she presets herself as Jessica Chastain (Matthew McConaughey’s daughter in the Sci/Fi Interstellar). As she is the most recent name to be attached to Danny Boyle’s picture, Natalie’s part in the movie is open for discussions and suppositions. Sources presume that she is likely to become Steve Jobs’ daughter – ‘’the heroine of the movie” or Joanna Hoffman – ‘’a fantastic character’’, who is, in fact, a major character in the marketing department of Mac team. If accepted, Natalie Portman will prove that she is fit for a role as a down to earth character, as her previous projects bear touches of fiction (Thor – 2011 and Thor: The Dark World – 2013), rebellion (V from Vendetta – 2005) or historic royalty (The Other Boleyn Girl – 2008).
