Steve Jobs PBS 'Lost Interview' Coming To Theaters

SAN FRANCISCO — Fans of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs will get a chance to see previously unreleased interview footage of him when "Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview" hits theaters later this month.

The 70-minute interview was recorded in the `90s before Jobs returned to Apple Inc. He and co-founder Steve Wozniak started Apple in 1976 and left in 1985. Jobs returned in 1997 and is credited with rescuing Apple from financial dire straits.

Ten minutes of the interview appeared in the 1995 PBS miniseries "Triumph of the Nerds." The master tapes disappeared but an unedited interview copy was recently found.

The interview will be shown at Landmark theaters in 19 cities around the country beginning Nov. 16.

Jobs died Oct. 5 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 56.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to show the interviews on the digital divide/ divine for all the geeks and followers. That would be the crowd that would more likely to watch with the latest and greatest computing gears. The movie theatre is just so..........out of place............

I'm interested in seeing it but I'm not going to go to a movie theater to do so. Perhaps Netflix will pick it up and stream it. Lately, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the few odd things I've found on Netflix so perhaps they will add this too.

I am curious enough to click a link, and maybe even watch a clip--but to get out of my chair, onto public transportation, and pay my way into a theatre? I am the target audience for this, and there's not a chance. Not a chance.

How long will this man have to be dead before HP stops coming up with still more articles about him? it's getting to be kind of tiresome, I think.

they'll stop as soon as people stop clicking on the links.
HP's frequency/volume of articles are based on clicks (interest)
It's good for their ad revenues.

correction... that would be "HP's subject frequency/volume..."

To theater? Well they have turned his death into some sort of a theater.

I admire Steve Job's accomplishments. I may even purchase his book but a 70 minute movie of an old interview? Too much.

It's too bad that Apple didn't die along with Jobs. If ever there was a company that stood against everything that this country (The USA) was founded upon (Freedom freedom freedom!) its Apple. Its pretty ironic that the Commercial that launched Apple into the mainstream (the 1984 one) is pretty much the direction the company is headed in. A future where Apple is basically Big Brother ain't too unrealistic considering the company's policies concerning the use of their product.

How strange and technologically backward. You'd think that would be on iTunes Store.

GREAT Biography as well!
Outstanding laid out stories, history and interviews, and over years of work collected about a fascinating man that truly changed the world and will greatly be missed.

Tell me how "he" changed the world? Really, how did he change the world?

I'm waiting for the release of interview 1.002.

What?

I clicked because I thought I could see footage, instead it's a promo for some PBS showing IN A THEATER??

You have got to be kidding...

Some of the explosions and CGI stuff in the interview really demand a big screen and excellent sound system.

I hate those "The Lost" this and that articles. What's in the future "Steve Jobs: The Lost Ipod" followed by the introduction of an Ipod that you have to pull a lawn mower style pull cord to start?

"...The interview will be shown at Landmark theaters in 19 cities around the country beginning Nov. 16..."

I really don't think people will pay admission to sit in a theater and watch an interview...

And those that do, and sit there in the dark watching people talk back and forth; and when the interview ends stand up and claps loudly like two pieces of uncut back bacon being slapped together.....

Pay attention to those people. Those people are not those to whom to date, breed with or marry.

If anything this presentation can be a filtering system for society.

yet uninterested people like yourself will bother to take the time to come here and comment.

don't underestimate what people might or might not do :)

This is a perfect example of just how overrated Jobs is/was. Give me a break. There are far more important people to history that never even came close to recieving the treatment he has upon his death. The guy invented overpriced gadgets and was a tyrant when it came to product freedom. I was never impressed with the man and only wished Apple would of died along with him.

Wow...can't wait, no really....... I can't. My excitement will only be tempered with the news (saw it on Fox and friends) Jobs had been saving his belly button lint and for only shipping and handling a little wad of it can be mine.

You would have been a real hoot to hang out with after Edison's death.

Jobs is nowhere near the same level as Edison.

He was a marketer -- not an inventor.
