You may have forgotten this little item from September, but Dustin Hoffman made a late-career shift of sorts, deciding to finally helm a movie. His directorial debut — discounting some uncredited work on the 1978 feature Straight Time — is titled Quartet, and Deadline reports that The Weinstein Company have picked it up for somewhere in the territory of $3 million. Not a bad choice when the film sounds like a fun time and has a good cast, too.
Based on a stage play (and written) by Ronald Harwood (The Pianist), Quartet stars Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon, Billy Connolly, Pauline Collins, and Tom Courtenay. You can read a plot synopsis below:
“Courtenay, Connolly and Collins play three ex-opera stars who live together in Beecham House, a home for retired opera singers. Every year they throw a party to celebrate the birthday of Giuseppe Verdi. This year, however, their plans are thrown into flux by...

Hour-long interview with Apple founder, who died last year, to be released in cinemas
An hour-long "lost" interview with the late Steve Jobs will be released in cinemas next week, after it was acquired for Us distribution. Magnolia Pictures is hoping that Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview will spark the interest of legions of admirers of the former CEO of Apple Inc and Pixar, who died in 2011.
Technology writer Robert X Cringely (aka Mark Stephens) spoke to Jobs in 1995 as part of a series, The Triumph of the Nerds, a history of the personal computer originally filmed for Channel 4. At the time, Jobs was running NeXT, the computer company he founded after quitting Apple – and shortly before Apple acquired NeXT, enabling Jobs to return to the company he co-founded.
Small portions of the interview have been used in TV broadcasts, but the complete footage was thought lost until the...

It's been seven months now since Steve Jobs, founder and CEO of Apple, lost his battle with pancreatic cancer and the general public is apparently still clamoring for ways to celebrate and remember his life. We've seen the release of his official biography by Walter Isaacson and we've also had two different biopics pop up in development (one of which will star Ashton Kutcher as Jobs). Now for more proof that you can capitalize on anything related to Jobs, a lost interview with the visionary will be heading to theatres this month in its unedited form. Magnolia Pictures recently acquired the rights to Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview, an hour-long interview with Jobs from 1995 that was once thought to be lost. It was conducted by Robert Cringely during the making of his TV series Triumph of the Nerds and features him talking about the history of Apple, his forced departure...

As the world goes increasingly Apple (will they ever just make the bloody iFridge) the appetite for a bite out of the Jobs legacy grows as well. Ashton Kutcher will be playing Jobs in the biopic of the Apple cofounders life, but here’s something else that will hit selected cinemas on May 11th, on what I’d imagine to be a limited release. An pretty indepth interview with Jobs (originally thought to be lost) which seems to hold back no punches.And while it looks to be more of a small screen watch than a big screen one, it looks really interesting! The Wagner/Cuban Company’s Magnolia Pictures announced today they have acquired Us rights to Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview. This candid, in-depth interview with the late visionary was filmed in 1995 by Robert Cringely, and Jobs discusses at length his early days, career battles, and vision for the future.

"Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview," filmed in 1995 by Robert Cringely, has gone to Magnolia for Us distribution beginning with a limited theatrical May 11, followed by a summer VOD and DVD release. The interview, in which Jobs discusses his early life, career highs and lows, as well as his visions for the future, will be shown unedited in its original form. Magnolia's Eamonn Bowles calls the film fascinating for anyone interested in the icon's life: “It’s a valuable piece of history that has thankfully been rescued from obscurity.” Cringely states, "We knew we were witnessing history being made back in 1995 but the Landmark audiences confirmed it [after screenings earlier this year]: they were stunned by our unconventional documentary, making this broader release a no-brainer. This is Steve Jobs as never seen before." Here's the film's official site; trailer is below.

[1] That Sony Pictures biopic [2] of late tech giant Steve Jobs is still in the early stages of development, but Jobs' familiar facade will be gracing a small handful of screens across the country in just one week. As we reported [3] earlier this week, a 70-minute film titled Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview will be hitting certain Landmark theaters next week on November 16 and 17. The footage comes from a 1995 interview Jobs did with Robert X. Cringely for a miniseries titled Triumph of the Nerds: The Rise of Accidental Empires, and the vast majority of it has never been seen by the public before. We now have the first teaser for The Lost Interview, which you can watch after the jump. [via The Hollywood Reporter [4]] As the story goes, Cringely wound up using just 10 minutes of the 70-minute conversation for Triumph of the Nerds, and some years later realized he'd lost the rest of the recording.

San Francisco -- A recently discovered video copy of a 1995 interview with Steve Jobs shows the Apple co-founder at a healthier time, not long before he rejoined and revitalized the company.
There doesn't appear to be much new in "Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview," which is being shown at Landmark theaters in 19 cities around the country starting Nov. 16. In a copy viewed by The Associated Press on Tuesday, Jobs discusses topics such as how he got interested in computers as a child, his anger at being ousted from Apple in 1985 after a clash with then-ceo John Sculley, and his irritation with competitor Microsoft Corp. – subjects that have been covered elsewhere, and extensively in Walter Isaacson's recently released "Steve Jobs: A Biography."
Jobs and co-founder Steve Wozniak started Apple in 1976 and left in 1985. Jobs returned in 1997 and is credited with rescuing Apple from dire financial straits.

Sometimes death can make a famous person even more famous. When a music artist dies, their album sales go to the top of the charts. When an actor dies, their movies are all rented on Netflix.

Since the untimely death [1] of Apple founder Steve Jobs in October at the age of 56, interviews and books about the entrepreneur have been in high demand. Now, an unaired 70-minute interview Jobs conduced in 1996 retitled Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview will play in select Landmark Theaters November 16 and 17. Find out more about it and where you can see it after the jump.

Steve Jobs is well on his way to becoming larger in death than he was in life, especially with the screening of unseen footage from one of his interviews. According to the La Times, Landmark Theatres will be showing lost footage from an interview that the Apple co-founder gave 15 years ago. The documentary will be shown on November 16 and 17 in select cities including New York, Los Angeles and the Silicon Valley.
The new documentary, aptly titled Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview, is based on an interview Jobs gave to Robert Cringely for a 1996 PBS miniseries Triumph of the Nerds: The Rise of Accidental Empires, which was about the computer industry and the Silicon Valley's role. The miniseries contained probably only 10 minutes of Jobs' actual 70 minute interview. Cringely thought the raw footage was lost when he went to make the sequel to Triumph, but turns out that the director, Paul Sen,...

Less than one month after Steve Jobs died of cancer, PBS premiered a documentary examining the visionary’s biggest influences on his life and career. The film spans from his early life in the 8th grade to the worldwide recognition of his innovations following his death on October 6, 2011.
In an interview never before seen, a young Jobs shares his optimistic view of the world. "When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life in the world, try not to bash in the walls to much," he said in what looks to be a self-recorded video. "That's a very limited life, life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact and that is everything around you was made up by people that were no smarter than you."
