Natalie Portman in talks to join Steve Jobs biopic - report
Natalie Portman is reportedly in talks to join the new Steve Jobs biopic.
The Black Swan star's potential role has yet to be revealed, but it is expected to be a major part in the film, according to Deadline.com.
The movie, which is based on Walter Isaacson's biography of the
late Apple boss, has faced a number of road blocks in recent months
after both Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale reportedly dropped
out of the project.
Shame star Michael Fassbender is now believed to be the favorite to
take over the role of Jobs.
In addition, bosses at Sony Pictures unexpectedly dumped the film
from their slate last week (ends21Nov14), but executives at
Universal Pictures picked up the production on Monday
(24Nov14).
The biopic will be directed by Danny Boyle, with Oscar winner Aaron
Sorkin taking charge of the screenplay.
Portman's No Strings Attached co-star Ashton Kutcher previously
played the technology mogul in 2013 biopic Jobs.
