We also get our first look at Seth Rogen, burly and bearded as Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, along with Kate Winslet as Joanna Hoffman, another of the original Macintosh team and Jeff Daniels as former CEO John Sculley.

The movie was originally being directed by David Fincher, with Christian Bale in the lead role.

Fincher exited, with Boyle taking over, planning to bring in Leonardo DiCaprio to play Jobs, but eventually going with Fassbender – though Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Bradley Cooper were also said to be in the mix.

Aaron Sorkin of 'The West Wing’ and 'The Social Network’ fame has penned the script, using the feted biography 'Steve Jobs’ by Walter Isaacson.

It’s heading for release on November 13.
