He’s played everyone from a magician to Batman - now film chameleon Christian Bale is set to transform himself into legendary Apple CEO, Steve Jobs.

It was only last year that Ashton Kutcher starred as the entrepreneur in film, Jobs, which focused on the ascension of the iPod founder, but the new biopic (which will share the same name) with Bale is reportedly based on the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson.

Shooting is said to begin in a few months, with Danny Boyle set to direct.
