Universal has released a new trailer for the new Steve Jobs biopic Steve Jobs. Directed by Danny Boyle (27 Days Later, 127 Hours) using a script written by Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network, The Newsroom), the film stars Michael Fassbender as the titular iconic who helped pave the way for a technological revolution. It will focus on the three iconic product launches which Jobs helped create as well as the boardroom politics, his family, and the drive the inventor had to bring the people the kind of technology that would change the world.

The movie made its theatrical premiere at Telluride earlier this year, where it was met with rave reviews and currently has a 90% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

If you are feeling that Social Network vibe while watching this trailer, you are not alone. According to critics who screened the film, Steve Jobs feels very much like an Aaron Sorkin film. I can’t see how much of that is a real criticism, but to each’s own.

Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, Jeff Daniels, Katherine Waterston, and Michael Stuhlbarg also star. Steve Jobs opens in theaters on October 9.
