DocM Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Steve Jobs: Ashton Kutcher (?!?) http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118052143 Ashton Kutcher to play Steve JobsThe King of Twitter is now the King of Apple, as "Two and a Half Men" star Ashton Kutcher is attached to play Steve Jobs in the indie pic "Jobs," which Joshua Michael Stern ("Swing Vote") will direct from a script by Matt Whiteley. The film will chronicle Steve Jobs from wayward hippie to co-founder of Apple, where he became one of the most revered creative entrepreneurs of our time. Five Star Institute's Mark Hulme is financing and will produce the pic, which is skedded to start production in May while Kutcher is on hiatus from his hit CBS series. CAA, which reps both Kutcher and Stern, will represent the pic's domestic distribution rights. While Kutcher was last seen in Garry Marshall's ensemble pic "New Year's Eve" and the romantic comedy "No Strings Attached," he earned strong notices for his more serious turns in David Mackenzie's sex dramedy "Spread" and Emilio Estevez's historical drama "Bobby." Stern, who made his helming debut with the 2005 Aaron Eckhart vehicle "Neverwas," previously directed Disney's 2008 election comedy "Swing Vote," toplined by Kutcher's "The Guardian" co-star Kevin Costner. Helmer is also attached to direct Stone Village's "Carnaval," an R-rated comedy that pairs John Cusack with fellow CAA client Johnny Knoxville. In addition to both CAA and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern, Kutcher and Stern are respectively repped by Untitled Entertainment and 3 Arts Entertainment. Sony Pictures is currently developing its own Steve Jobs pic, based on the bestselling book by Walter Isaacson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceBreakerG Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 For a second, I thought the picture of Jobs "was" Kutcher at first, until I realized what I was looking at. He really does look a lot like him. -Alex- 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muhammad Farrukh Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Ashton Kutcher to play Steve Jobs in indie film In what appears NOT to be an April Fool?s Day joke, Ashton Kutcher is set to play Steve Jobs in an upcoming indie pic from Swing Vote director Joshua Michael Stern, EW confirms. The film, titled Jobs, will be written by Matt Whiteley and chronicle the late Jobs? journey ?from wayward hippie to co-founder of Apple,? according to Variety, who first reported the news. He is said to start filming in May after Two and a Half Men wraps its current season. (It is worth noting, as well, that Kutcher is not yet officially set to return for another season of the CBS hit.) Jobs died in October after a battle with cancer.

AJerman Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 As much as I can't stand Ashton Kutcher, he does have bear a striking resemblance to a young Steve Jobs. Unfortunately, I still can't stand Ashton Kutcher, so I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rathefeare Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Is Noah Wyle busy? He did a good job in Pirates of Silicon Valley. Hell even Jobs liked him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noxa12 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 He does look quite similar actually, The last serious film i saw him in must have been Butterfly Effect. He suits the stupid male comedy role but as a serious role as Jobs it could be tricky. No doubt it would be an interesting watch, as The Social Network turned out to be.

Rohdekill Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I would much prefer an animated film from Pixar. :) That's what I said in the other thread on the same subject. Makes perfect sense since Jobs got Pixar to where they are today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noxa12 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I would much prefer an animated film from Pixar. :) That would be very fitting, and i'm sure they could touch upon stronger emotions from what they know of Jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
