Michael Stuhlbarg Reveals Unique Rehearsal Process for Steve Jobs Movie [Video]

Michael Stuhlbarg, who co-stars in Steve Jobs as Andy Hertzfeldt, talks about the three-act structure of the movie and how it led to a unique rehearsal structure, in a Collider interview.



Here's a snippet from the interview...


---
Particularly the Steve Jobs rehearsal process was unlike anything I’ve ever done to this point and probably unlike anything I’ll ever do again. Aaron Sorkin wrote it very much like a three-act play, and each act was the launch of a new product. So we rehearsed each act for two weeks and then we shot for two weeks; then we rehearsed for two weeks and shot for two weeks; then we rehearsed for two weeks and then we shot for two weeks.

And that was amazing because by the time we were ready to shoot, we were really, really ready, and it brought us all together in an extraordinary way. Also, it kind of gave us something in the telling of the story that you don’t often get, which is a sense of momentum of what a story is telling you. He got the opportunity to get the barrage of nonsense that was being thrown at him throughout the entire story. It was just unlike anything I’ve ever done before.
