The new Funny or Die iSteve mockumentary biopic has now launched and is ready to view over at the Funny or Die website for free. The film stars Justin Long as Steve Jobs and Jorge Garcia (Hurley from Lost) as Steve Wozniak.
Rumours are circulating that the script for the iSteve mockumentary was written in just three days, with filming only taking 5 days. This rapid production schedule is quite unusual for a biopic, especially one focusing on such an iconic figure as Steve Jobs. The quick turnaround time adds an extra layer of intrigue to the project, making it a must-watch for fans of both comedy and technology.
Justin Long’s Connection with Apple
Justin Long already has a significant connection with Apple, having starred in their famous PC vs Apple commercials where John Hodgman played the PC. These commercials were a huge hit and played a significant role in shaping public perception of Apple products. Long’s portrayal of the “Mac” character was seen as cool, laid-back, and user-friendly, which contrasted sharply with Hodgman’s portrayal of the “PC” as stuffy and outdated. This prior association makes Long a fitting choice for the role of Steve Jobs in the iSteve mockumentary.
Other Steve Jobs Movies in Production
Other Steve Jobs movies currently being created include jOBS, starring Ashton Kutcher. This film was expected to debut in April but has now been delayed with no definite release date announced yet. The delay has left fans eagerly awaiting its release, as the film promises to offer a more serious and in-depth look at the life of Steve Jobs compared to the comedic take of iSteve.
The jOBS movie aims to cover a broader timeline of Jobs’ life, from his early days as a college dropout to his rise as a tech visionary. Ashton Kutcher’s physical resemblance to a young Steve Jobs has generated a lot of buzz, and many are curious to see how he will portray the complex character of Jobs. The delay in the release has only heightened the anticipation, as fans are eager to see how this film will compare to other portrayals of the tech icon.
