Last month, Funny or Die announced that it would be making a film about the life of Steve Jobs called iSteve, poking fun at the number of biopics currently in the works.
The first trailer released on Tuesday, advertising an April 15 release. The 60 to 75-minute online film features comedian Justin Long (known for the "Get a Mac" commercials) as the late Apple co-founder who died in 2011.
There's not much to the trailer aside from a couple of Jobs' famous quotes and dramatic music, but we get a quick glimpse of Long in character at the end.

There are a number of films about Jobs in the works: jOBS, an independent film starring actor Ashton Kutcher as Jobs, reportedly has had its release date delayed; and Sony Pictures is producing another picture based on Walter Isaacson's authorized biography of Jobs.
