Could Seth Rogen be following Jonah Hill into high-profile dramas? He may not have cracked the superhero genre, but he is now the target of talks for the role of Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak in Danny Boyle’s new film about **Steve Jobs.

With Aaron Sorkin behind the script and Christian Bale set to play Jobs, the film will chronicle three key moments in the Apple man’s life and career, specifically when big products were being launched upon the world, including the first iPod.

Jessica Chastain is, according to The Wrap, also in talks, but when we spoke to Chastain today she denied all knowledge of the film, so chalk that up as a rumour for now.

Rogen isn’t exactly a stranger to dramatic work given Take This Waltz and 50/50, but if he does land the Wozniak part, it has the potential to lift him to another level. And it doesn’t hurt that while he’s hardly a dead ringer for the genius behind the Apple I, he’s enough of a match.

He’ll next be seen in** The Interview** (out February 6), which represents his latest co-directing (with Evan Goldberg) and starring gig. Chastain, meanwhile, is part of Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar set for launch on November 7, and is co-starring in A Most Violent Year, due January 23.
