Supposedly, Powell Jobs contacted both Christian Bale and Leonardo DiCaprio and asked that they don't take the role. She, along with friends of Jobs, Bill Campbell and Tim Cook, disapprove of the film, stating that they feel it portrays him as being "cruel and inhumane". Sources say that Powell Jobs "has been trying to kill this movie".
Campbell said, "A whole generation is going to think of him in a different way if they see a movie that depicts him in a negative way", while Cook calls the film "opportunistic".
Michael Fassbender secured the lead in the film, and is earning a lot of praise among critics for his performance.
