Crews have been seen filming at Jobs' old childhood house in Los Altos, Calif., which is where he and Wozniak famously started Apple.

Directed by Danny Boyle, the film is finally getting a solid release date after setbacks. Sony was originally set to produce the film, but the company dropped it shortly after it was hacked in November.
