Funny or Die's Steve Jobs Biopic 'iSteve' Debuts Online
iSteve, Funny or Die's biopic of late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, premiered Wednesday, after the humor site delayed its release out of respect for victims of the Boston Marathon bombing.
As Funny or Die's longest project to date, the nearly 80-minute comedy is a parody of the biopic film genre. iSteve's production time, however, was short, with the script written in three days and shot in five.
Justin Long, who was "the Mac" in the Mac versus PC commercials several years ago, stars as Jobs, while Lost's Jorge Garcia acts as Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.
Fanboys and girls hankering to see more of Jobs on the silver screen will have to remain patient, as iSteve — which can be viewed in its entirety, here — is the only biopic of the tech icon that's out now.
jOBS, starring Ashton Kutcher in the titular role, was slated to debut in April, but has been delayed with no new release date set. Back in January, it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival to mixed reviews.
Sony Pictures is also developing a biopic of Jobs based on Walter Isaacson's biography. Steve Jobs is in its early stages, with no official release date. The film is being written by Aaron Sorkin, who in 2011 won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Social Network — otherwise known as "the Facebook movie."
Jobs died from pancreatic cancer in 2011.
