The upcoming Steve Jobs biopic that’s been mired in production problems and casting changes over the last few years appears to rolling along now, with filming taking place at the same garage where Jobs and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak built the first Apple computer.

CBS San Francisco has a report on the production that’s taken over the neighborhood around 2066 Crist Drive in Los Altos, California, the former home of Jobs’ parents and the place where the Apple co-founders built the very first model of the computer that would eventually make them famous. Shooting on the film — which is based on a script penned by Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing) — is expected to continue around San Francisco through April.

As the report mentions, this is the second film to shoot at that location in recent years, with the underperforming 2013 biopic Jobs also staging several scenes at the famous garage, which has become a mecca of sorts for Apple devotees over the years.

The upcoming film featured quite a bit of casting and directorial turnaround before settling on Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle and stars Michael Fassbender and Seth Rogen. Fassbender will play Jobs in the film, with Rogen playing Wozniak.

Sorkin’s script for the film is based on Walter Isaacson’s 2011 biography of Jobs. The biopic has no release date or official title at this point.

Why The Last Ronin could be the best TMNT movie ever made

The Last Ronin wields the weapons of his fallen brothers.

Four decades ago, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird unleashed their independent comic book series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and took the industry by storm. Eastman and Laird’s Mirage Studios pulled off a feat that few other comic book companies in the 1980s were able to match. The success of the comic allowed the TMNT to cross over into an animated series in 1987, which only made the Turtles more popular. Toy lines, action figures, video games, and all manner of merchandise followed before Turtlemania reached its high point in 1990 with the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.

In a way, it’s been all downhill from there. The Turtles’ popularity has waxed and waned over the last 40 years, but they’ve never quite recaptured the frenzy of Turtlemania. Even the most recent animated movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, managed to earn only $180.5 million worldwide. Mutant Mayhem received good reviews, but those aren’t the kind of numbers that scream box office hit.

If you have to watch one Disney+ movie this April, stream this one

An imagined underwater alien civilization in Aliens of the Deep.

It would be understandable if Disney+ subscribers feel a little jealous of Hulu in April. That's because the new additions to Hulu include The Big Lebowski, The Fifth Element, Hellboy, Ocean's 11, Jumanji: The Next Level, and even Wonder Woman. The only major Disney+ movie to debut in April was Wish. For families with kids or animation lovers, Wish might be enough. But when picking the one movie to watch on Disney+ in April, we decided to dive a little deeper into the streaming catalog. That's how we settled on our choice for the one Disney+ movie that you have to watch this month: Aliens of the Deep.

Between the premiere of Titanic in 1997 and Avatar in 2009, director James Cameron threw himself into the realm of underwater exploration and directed or co-directed two documentary films. Cameron's first documentary, Ghosts of the Abyss, is not on Disney+. But Aliens of the Deep has a permanent home here. This movie was originally an IMAX release and it was filmed in IMAX 3D. The streaming experience may not be able to replicate that, but Aliens of the Deep is still visually dazzling even in 2D. And now, we'll share the three reasons why you should watch Aliens of the Deep this month.
