Christian Bale is reportedly in talks with Sony to play Steve Jobs.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, sources revealed that the move comes after the 'Batman' series star negotiations with Fox to star in 'The Deep Blue Goodbye' hit a roadblock.
Sources said that Fox was trying to include sequel options for the 40-year-old actor to tackle the lead role of Detective Travis McGee in what was hoped to be a franchise starter, but the actor walked out over compensation and control issues.
Danny Boyle will be directing the untitled Jobs film.
