Universal's Steve Jobs biopic is finally moving forward. After losing a few directors and stars (including Fincher, Bale and DiCaprio) and being dropped by Sony, the film is now ready to begin production with Danny Boyle at the helm for Universal. The studio has released a lot more information about the film, including the title which will simply be "Steve Jobs", a synopsis, and the official cast.

Let's take a look at the synopsis:
"Set backstage at three iconic product launches and ending in 1998 with the unveiling of the iMac, the film takes us behind the scenes of the digital revolution to paint an intimate portrait of the brilliant man at its epicenter."
The script has been written by Aaron Sorkin ("The Newsroom", "The Social Network") based on Walter Isaacson's biography, and it is said to be quite unique.
