Christian Bale has been reportedly confirmed the portray Jobs on screen.

However, reports revealed that Sony is finding it difficult to fit the film production in its tight schedule.

Danny Boyle, was slated to direct the film, but already has other prior commitments for next year a report by Hollywood Reporter can tell.

Likewise, another conflict in the production occurred when Christian Bale, who was first given the role, backed out. Producers eventually picked Michael Fassbender for the part, while Seth Rogen was talked about to play Steve Wozniak, Jobs' cofounder.

Nevertheless, Fassbender also put the film's production in conflict, with scheduling clash for his work on the next in the X-Men series of films slated to begin next spring.

Universal Pictures is said to be interested to take over the project.

Apple cofounder Jobs was famous throughout his lifetime with his compelling nature and expertise in presenting Apple's products to the public while wearing his signature turtleneck sweater, blue Levi jeans, and trainers.

Jobs' career was not without lowpoint. After he and Wozniak founded Apple in the late 1970s, boardroom coup forced him out of the company in the 1980s, only to make a triumphant comeback to his company when it went into trouble.

Jobs eventually steered Apple towards an era when it was hailed as the most valuable company in America, with products that include the ultra successful iPhone.
