Michael Stuhlbarg Joins Cast of Universal's Steve Jobs Biopic

According to Deadline, Michael Stuhlbarg has signed on for Universal Pictures' Steve Jobs biopic, directed by Danny Boyle.

Michael Fassbender is currently attached to play JOBS - after stepping in for Christian Bale, who originally signed on after Leonardo DiCaprio's departure. Seth Rogen will play Steve Wozniak. Stuhlbarg will play "Andy Hertzfeld, the computer scientist and inventor who was part of the original Apple development team that came up with Macintosh Operating System. He worked closely with JOBS until he left for Google in 2005."

Universal recently picked up Sony's dropped Steve JOBS biopic at a cost of more than $30 million.

Aaron Sorkin penned the script for the film, based on Walter Isaacson's biography of Jobs. Produced by Scott Rudin, Guymon Casady and Mark Gordon, the movie was set to begin production this winter.

The film was last described as being divided into three acts, each showing JOBS in preparation for an upcoming presentation that would eventually change his life and the future of his company.

Stuhlbarg's film credits include A SERIOUS MAN, SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS, HUGO and MEN IN BLACK 3.
