Oscar-winner Christian Bale, who has played Batman and Moses, is about to take on another iconic figure: Steve Jobs.

Based on Walter Isaacson’s biography “Steve Jobs,” the real-life drama is directed by Danny Boyle.

According to Walter Isaacson’s biography “Steve Jobs,” the woman who adopted Steve Jobs was Armenian. The family of Steve’s mother immigrated to US from Turkey in 1915 when Ottoman Turkey was exercising genocide against Armenians.

Clara Jobs or Clara Hagopian was the daughter of an Armenian family who immigrated to the US from Turkey’s Malatya province following the 1915 genocide. The book reportedly says Clara’s father Louis Hagopian was born in Malatya in 1894 and her mother Victoria Artinian was born in İzmir in 1894.

“Steve Jobs: A Biography by Walter Isaacson” book is based on more than 40 interviews with Jobs conducted over two years as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors and colleagues.
