Katherine Waterston to Star Opposite Michael Fassbender in ‘Steve Jobs Biopic’

Inherent Vice star Katherine Waterston has been tapped to play Chrisann Brennan, the first wife of Steve Jobs in the Untitled biopic to be directed by Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire), reports Deadline. She will star opposite Michael Fassbender (Shame), who recently signed on as the eponymous tech giant, as well as Seth Rogen (Neighbors) in the role of partner Steve Wozniak, and Kate Winslet in an undisclosed part. Written by Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network) from the Walter Isaacson biography, the film will focus on just a few key meetings in Jobs’ career, relying heavily on both dialogue and character– characteristic of Sorkin’s writing. Waterston is coming away from a successful career-building year in film: from starring in Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest Inherent Vice to appearing in The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them. She will next star alongside Elizabeth Moss (TV’s Mad Men) in Queen of Earth.
