Also, the reason Bale and DiCaprio dropped out is because of Jobs' widow. THR did an expose:

Laurene Powell Jobs pressured Leonardo DiCaprio, Christian Bale and every studio in Hollywood to not make the movie. David Fincher wouldn't budge off his $10 million fee. Now, THR talks to the creative team — Danny Boyle, Aaron Sorkin, Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet and more — behind the most anticipated, controversial biopic in years.

That pact, struck within days, turned out to be the easiest part of bringing Steve Jobs to the screen. Over the following four years, the picture would draw then lose such major names as David Fincher, Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale before settling on director Danny Boyle and star Michael Fassbender; it would become entangled in a gargantuan email hack that put Sony Pictures at the heart of a global firestorm; it would lead to the near-rupture of Pascal's decadeslong friendship with one of Steve Jobs' producers, Scott Rudin; and it would inspire accusations of opportunism from none other than Apple CEO Tim Cook. "Fasten two seat belts," Pascal warned in a prescient early email. "Its [sic] gonna be more than bumpy."

While Apple has maintained a distance from the film — which acknowledges Jobs' brilliance while painting an unflattering portrait of his personal relationships — Jobs' widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, 51, actively tried to obstruct it. "They haven't helped," says Boyle of her and Cook. "There's been some tough moments. I'm not going to go into them."

Says another of the picture's key players, "Since the very beginning, Laurene Jobs has been trying to kill this movie, OK?" (Laurene's character does not figure in the film, while Jobs' daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, from another relationship, plays a prominent part.) "Laurene Jobs called Leo DiCaprio and said, 'Don't do it.' Laurene Jobs called Christian Bale and said, 'Don't [do it].' "

Cook also engaged in a brief duel with screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, saying he thought the recent spate of Jobs movies (including a much-maligned 2013 film starring Ashton Kutcher and a documentary by Alex Gibney) was "opportunistic." Sorkin then snapped back, telling THR that "if you've got a factory full of children in China assembling phones for 17 cents an hour, you've got a lot of nerve calling someone else opportunistic." (He later walked back his statement.)
