“Lost” Steve Jobs Interview Heading to Theaters This Month

Like many great historical figures, Steve Jobs seems to be more popular after his death he was alive. Not only is the recent sale of his book, such as hotcakes, the late co-founder of Apple in the news for several weeks.

There is even a movie slated to come out later this month starring the iPhone creator, which is odd given how camera shy he was. But it’s true, “Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview” is on its way to 19 Landmark Theaters across the nation starting November 16…

The movie is essentially a 70 minute conversation between Steve Jobs and Robert Cringely for a 1996 miniseries entitled “Triumph of the Nerds: The Rise of Accidental Empires.” The show spotlighted the personal computer industry and the fast-growing Silicon Valley.

According to the HowLibrary, Cringley lost the footage after the show wrapped. And since only 10 minutes of the conversation was used in the televisions series, he thought that the rest of his epic conversation with Jobs would never be heard.

But recently a VHS of the missing footage turned up in the garage of the show’s director — and thus the movie was born. Landmark agreed to show the interview in its entirety in 19 US cities, including Jobs’ home town of Palo Alto, for a limited time.
