At first, what seemed to be a rumor or say april fool joke has turned reality. We all know by now that Ashton Kutcher is going to play the Iconic Steve Jobs in the upcoming movie based on Steve Jobs life. It's been set to start filming next month for a release by Thanksgiving of this year. Courtesy macrumors we have learned the movie was planned prior to Walter Isaacson's book and Steve Jobs death.
As we can see that Ashton Kutcher looks strikingly similar to Steve Jobs in this photo. But to see if he does justice to the character is whole different chapter.
In an interview of The Daily with FIve Star Institute Mark Hulme the producer of the movie who has spoken on behalf of Ashton Kutcher stating that "he is pouring himself (Ashton Kutcher)" into the role and "believes the role was meant for him". “He is already meeting with folks that knew Steve Jobs. He’s working with professionals to get inside the voice. He’s letting his hair grow out. I understand he’s canceled all meetings and actually canceled all other projects,”
“We decided between 1971, the initial partnership of Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, is where we would start and then the bulk of the script remains in the early years of Apple and the recruiting of [former Apple CEO] John Sculley from Pepsi and then of course Jobs’ ousting and a smaller portion is his triumph and his return,” Hulme said.
It also appears that Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is happy with the decision of casting Kutcher. He said,"The fear that many might have is that Ashton was selected because he's 'hot' right now. But I feel that his selection was done in the most professional manner. And I'm glad that he's onboard. I think he'll put a lot into it and that he cares about this particular subject".
