Despite a rugged route to production, the first teaser for Danny Boyle's Steve Jobs biopic debuted during the "Mad Max" finale Sunday, May 17, giving fans a first look at the highly-anticipated biopic of the legendary Apple founder.

Though the minute-long clip is unable to give much details, it will surely make fans happy giving them what can be termed as a small preview at Michael Fassbender as Jobs. The "12 Yeas a Slave" actor is seen donning Jobs' trademark glasses and black polar neck in scenes that recreate one of Jobs' popular product launches.

The biopic reportedly explores Jobs' life and his relationships with colleagues through three such launches, according to reports on BBC.

The film dubbed "Steve Jobs," will also see Kate Winslet and Seth Rogen, and its slated to hit theaters on Nov. 13. While the former portrays the role of Joanna Hoffman, former Macintosh marketing chief, the latter plays Steve Wozniak, a character that was seen in the previous Jobs movie as well, portraying the role of the Apple co-founder.

The clip is set to a tense, harmonic score as it opens with a voiceover of the iconic Apple founder forecasting an event that "shift the world on its axis." Just a few moments later, Steve "Woz" Wozniak (Rogen) is heard ripping into Steve Jobs. Wozniak sounds off asking Jobs if he can't write a code and is not an engineer, what exactly he does, to which Jobs reply that the musicians play the instruments and he plays the orchestra, NY Daily News noted.

Jobs states that he invented the future sitting in a garage. Jeff Daniels, who plays Apple's former CEO John Sculley, is heard saying that no one sees the world the way Jobs does in the trailer.

Steve Jobs, an iconic entrepreneur, marketer and inventor co-founded Apple in the late 1970s. Later in the 1980s, he was driven out of the firm in a boardroom coup, only to be brought back and lead the production of the iPhone and iPod. 

The film is written by Aaron Sorkin ("The Social Network") and is based on Walter Isaacson's biography of the man behind one of the most successful brands in the world, Apple. Jobs, the man who made Apple the legend that it is, died of pancreatic cancer three years ago, in 2011.
