"The cutthroat internal politics of Apple under Steve Jobs — strong personalities with large egos — amidst tumultuous technical drama (see timeline below) sounds like the makings for a damn good show like Succession)"
Halt and Catch Fire and Silicon Valley (leaving aside Jobs) have arguably already successfully covered this ground from a reasonably safe biographical distance.
- jedberg 5y agoPirates of Silicon Valley was literally about Jobs (and Woz and Gates).
- rasz 5y ago2001 Antitrust is about Gates :)
- unfocussed_mike 5y agoI don't think mellosouls means that those portrayals left Jobs aside. I think they mean we should put the 2013 movie, Jobs, aside (hence their italics). (Wise, though I personally think Kutcher did a good job with what he was given.) Jobs very famously liked (or at least whimsically came to terms with) Noah Wyle's amazing portrayal of him in Pirates Of Silicon Valley, getting Wyle to repeat his performance on stage at a a Macworld keynote. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIClAanU7Os https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIClAanU7Os At the time, people thought that was Jobs doing damage control because Pirates made him look like an asshole. At this point looking back, it seems more like part of his self-reflective pivot to what came next. Either way I am not sure it needs more treatment and more demonisation, but they were all pretty lucky with the care that went into their portrayals in Pirates Of Silicon Valley.
