The only thing we consider at the moment is who will pick up the role of Steve Jobs. Have a look at this article and vote on who you think would do Jobs justice on the big screen.
Michael Cera as a young Steve Jobs
Soft-spoken superstar Michael Cera is perfect for the role of a young Steve Jobs not only because of his similar image of Jobs circa 1977 but also due to his ability of mastering the whole nerdy whiz kid thing. This is a good chance for Michael Cera to prove himself as a serious actor capable of more than just the awkward one-liners he's become famous for.

Ashton Kutcher as a young Steve Jobs
The “Two and a Half Men” star Ashton Kutcher is Hollywood's unofficial Silicon Valley ambassador these days. Moreover, the 33-year-old actor shares a striking resemblance with young Steve Jobs. Between his shaggy brown hair, confident smile and incredible understanding of the tech world, all of us think Kutcher has what it takes to play the Apple co-founder in his 1980s glory days.

Noah Wyle as Steve Jobs
The high-profile actor Noah Wyle, perhaps best-known for his role on ER, played Steve Jobs in "The Pirates of Silicon Valley", a made-for-TV movie that tells the story of the birth of the personal computer business. Jobs actually liked Wyle's portrayal of him in the film, telling the actor, "I thought you did a good job".
The ER actor recently told CNN Money that he would give his "eye teeth in the heartbeat of a New York minute" to play Steve Jobs
Christian Bale as Steve Jobs
Beside a notoriously bad temper, the award-winning actor Christian Bale is also comfortable dropping weight for a role, famously shedding 63 pounds to play an insomniac in The Machinist. This is very important to give the best decision because you know, Jobs himself experienced extreme weight loss as his heath deteriorated.

James Cromwell as an older Steve Jobs
Due to between his prominent nose, round spectacles and lean frame, Cromwell may be a perfect choice to play Jobs in his later years
