Filming got under way in San Francisco on a new biopic about Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, with Hollywood & #039;s Michael Fassbender playing the role of the mercurial computer pioneer. Sources told AFP on Thursday that the German-Irish Fassbender, 37, took on the title role in the movie & quot;Steve Jobs & quot; after it was turned down by Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale. Bale, Oscar-winning British star of & quot;The Dark Knight & quot; pulled out of the project in November, news reports said, after deciding he wasn & #039;t right for the part. The screenplay for & quot;Steve Jobs & quot; is being written by Aaron Sorkin, who won an Academy Award for his script for & quot;The Social Network, & quot; about Facebook and its co-founder Mark Zuckerberg.
