Director David Fincher reportedly wants Christian Bale to play Steve Job in his Aaron Sorkin-scripted biopic.
According to TheWrap, "Fincher recently met with Sony's Amy Pascal to discuss the possibility of directing the film, and told her, in no uncertain terms, that he'd only take the reins of the project if Bale plays Jobs."
The site adds that Bale has not been formally approached yet to play the late Apple co-founder, most recently portrayed by Ashton Kutcher in the indie film jOBS.
