Ashton Kutcher cast as Steve Jobs in indie biopic - latimes.com

Zero acting skill means this movie will be a compete disaster.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Justin Long are better choices.

oh dear. I can see with makeup the passing resemblance, but... may as well cast Keanu Reeves.

Don't worry, there is another Sony Pictures movie coming with Aaron Sorkin as writer.

Oh well…

I don't think Steve Jobs' life story would make a very good movie. The only good movie about Steve Jobs I can envision is a focused story concentrating on his relationship with John Sculley and his ouster from Apple.

It also might be cool to make a movie about several of his employees, and let Jobs be the "villain". That could be good.

Trying to make some sort of all encompassing epic about his life's journey would be awful.

I have to agree. He was pretty much a *********. He's not much of a sympathetic character.

As far as Kutcher.... I liked him in Dude, Where's My Car?... but that's about it.

Pirates of silicon valley: masterpiece
A good Steve jobs movie: blockbuster but no masterpiece*
This Ashton Kutcher movie: not even a collectors item

*Unless directed and produced by the same people who made "Der Untergang"

Ashton's look is good, but not the acting... hmm, not so sure about this idea.
