“The 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,” Jeff Sneider reports for Variety.
“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,” Sneider reports. “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.”
Sneider reports, “Sony Pictures is currently developing its own Steve Jobs pic, based on the bestselling book by Walter Isaacson.”

Oh Fnck me!
Yuk!
Terrible. Terrible, Terrible.
This has to be an April Fool’s Day joke.
please… I hope it is a joke as well.
Seriously has to be a joke, but if it is they should have said Charlie Sheen at least that would have been funny.
Not a joke, dang it.
Hit the link for more info.
*sigh*
Noooooooooooooooooooooo
That would be my answer if you asked if I planned to see this flick.
surely steve was not that narcissistic!!! i think i’m going to be sick to my stomach.
Please be a joke… Where is Noah Wiley when you need him?
I’m throwing up in my mouth, if it stops him from playing Steve I will gladding gulp it back down.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Better Sidney Pottymouth play him.
April Fools!
MDN, you waited and waited. I thought the day was going to go by without a joke, but you snuck it in.
🙂
Not a joke.
Hit the link for more disappointment.
Ashton Doucher will be playing SJ.
boycott this movie
Girlcott it also.
Boycott this without regard for gender….
It’s a movie. Don’t watch it. Honestly, his life story is great as a biography or documentary but a feature movie? Naw, I don’t think so. Why? There are thousands of potential stories out there,fiction and non fiction, that are actually interesting as a movie plot. I read the biography. I don’t need a movie. Move on. There are more important things going on in the world.
Plus he can’t act………at all.
During the movie, Steve, played by Ashton Kutcher, plays a prank on Bill Gates, played by whoever…
‘Steve’ then says, “PUNK’D”!
They may as well get Jack Black to play Bill Gates then.
Naw. It’ll be Charlie Sheen.
With Demi Moore as Joan Baez.
and Danny Masterson as The Woz Zoo
featuring Bruce Willis as John (what you talkin’ bout) Sculley
and Special Guest Bill Clinton as Pres. Obama….
Maybe Jim Carey as Eric Schmidt?
I guess Zach Galifianakis will play Woz?
The movie should be a PIXAR movie with Jobs animated on Mac computers using the original voice of Jobs from past media recordings of Jobs. That way you can say that for a large part of the movie the part is played by Steve Jobs himself. His portrait should be as real to life-like as possible rather than a distant characture (sp?).
Caricature
The good news is this is some small indie film not the big film about Jobs being done by Sorkin
Holy Crap! I called this like 6 months ago! Love or hate him, he is a great choice to play the part.
I just realized this may be a joke… I think he should play Steve in the official movie. If not him, how about Keanu or Matthew Fox?
I wouldn’t mind Tom Hanks or Kevin Soacey or Leonardo DiCaprio.
He made two and a half men unwatchable and now this!
I hate the guy, but believe he may be able to pull it off if the movie is done right. If the script and director suck, no actor will save it. However, if the actor displays zero charisma, fuhgeddaboutit…. I don’t know if Kucher can handle that, unless they get a director to make sure he drops acid throughout the making of the film.
Indie film attempting to get financing, so they hire a terrible actor who is famous.
Movie will flop like a school of fish in the Mohave.
Let’s turn this into a comedy film! …… ….
.. No way! Please don’t ruin the image of SJ….
It’s an Aprils Fool joke. A good one…. But, a joke, none the less. I enjoyed it because it was a joke. If this were serious I,d, I’d, I’d….. Well, I don’t know what I would.
This had to be planted by an Apple short.
Morons ! Best way to make sure I’ll never watch this movie.
Noooooooo0000oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…
Ahem…excuse me..
N0000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO0000000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…
How about Christian Bale…
He has the same attitude towards his staff at times.
Gotta be someone who has some Steveliness qualities or it’s not going to work. Noah did a good job of absorbing and radiating some Steveliness aura into his part.
Two and a half men was on of the few funny shows…. Now is unwatchable.
Worst choice possible.
This is going to bomb.
