An official trailer for "Steve Jobs" was just finally released. In this version of the Jobs story, the Apple visionary is played by Michael Fassbender. Meanwhile, Seth Rogen plays Steve Wozniak. Oscar winning director Danny Boyle ("Slumdog Millionaire," "Trainspotting") and Oscar winning writer Aaron Sorkin ("The Social Network") bring the story to life.

There have been many conflicting insider reports about Jobs over the years. Recently, a documentary of the Apple co-founder was described as a "blistering takedown" of the man. Whereas the biography written by Walter Isaacson was a much more balanced representation of a man who truly had many sides and many faces.

We weren't sure exactly which Steve Jobs was going to show up in Michael Fassbender and Aaron Sorkin's Jobs. But it's clear there there is going to be a lot of negativity around the man. The trailer hits on all sorts of negative personality traits Jobs has been known for and problems he's run into. Not to mention his infamous ego.
