Seth Rogen has been tapped to play Steve Jobs’ loveable sidekick Woz in the upcoming biopic starring Christian Bale as Apple’s iconic CEO. We don’t know if Rogen’s guttural chuckling will mesh well with Bale’s ferocity, but when it comes to looking like Jobs and Woz, the duo already has us sold.
Following up on their Bale/Jobs mashup, GadgetLove created the mockup above of Seth Wozniak and Christian Jobs reveling in the beauty of an Apple I motherboard.
Check out the original photo of Jobs and Woz for comparison:
The upcoming Steve Jobs movie is based on Isaac Walterson’s 2011 biography on the Apple co-founder and was written by Aaron Sorkin, with Danny Boyle tapped to direct. A release date hasn’t been announced, but filming is expected to start as soon as Spring 2015.

woz looks like straight out of a weird distorted dimension :) har har har
Steve Jobs is gone. Let him go!
I keep saying the same about Jesus.
“Photographic proof Bale & Rogen will crush Jobs & Woz roles”
Photographic proof that the geeks at GadgetLove can Photoshop a bad wig on Christian Bale, and he still looks like Christian Bale… and they can make Seth “Rogaine” look like a chimp with missing teeth.
Seth Rogen doesn’t look anything like Woz. Woz has bigger cheeks and a smile that actually looks happy instead of constipated, as Rogen’s does. Woz is a happy, excited person. Rogen may be able to capture his spirit and provide a good performance as Sean Penn did with Harvey Milk (Penn looks nothing like Milk, but Penn SO captured the way Mile moved, held himself, and spoke that the performance was nothing short of remarkable) or as Philip Seymour Hoffman did with Truman Capote (Hoffman was a large man, tall and heavy, while Capote was small and delicate, yet Hoffman found a way to shrink his physical stature into Capote’s small frame), but I am not holding my breath. Rogen hasn’t made a name for himself by creating characters very different from himself. He seems to be a bit of a one-note Johnny. Time will tell.
Uncanny!
Seth Rogen might be ok, but Bale looks just to old to play young Steve and too young to play older Steve. Throw at me what you want but I think Cutcher didn’t look bad in his role.
