Jobs, who will be played by Michael Fassbender, refused to acknowledge he was Lisa's father for years but finally admitted paternity when she was a teenager.

Seth Rogen will play Steve Wozniak, while Katherine Waterston will take on the role of "Chrisann Brennan, Jobs' HIGH SCHOOL girlfriend, longtime partner and the mother of his first child." Michael Stuhlbarg will play Andy Hertzfeld. Also up for roles in the film are Kate Winslet and Jeff Daniels.

Produced by Scott Rudin, Guymon Casady and Mark Gordon, the film was last described as being divided into three acts, each showing JOBS in preparation for an upcoming presentation that would eventually change his life and the future of his company.

Haney-Jardine's past credits include FUTURE WEATHER, UNTRACEABLE, KILL BILL, VOL. 2 and SPIDER-MAN 3.
