Christian Bale set to play Steve Jobs in biopic

Christian Bale will play the role of Steve Jobs in the upcoming biopic, it has been reported. Aaron Sorkin, who will helm the project, said that 'The Machinist' star was a phenomenal actor and they needed the best artist to play this extremely difficult role, the CNN reported.

The film would reportedly be based on the 'Steve Jobs' biography by Walter Isaacson, which the late Jobs sanctioned. The Apple co-founder died in 2011 following a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
