Ashton Kutcher To Play Steve Jobs In Upcoming Film

Posted by samzenpus on Sunday April 1, 2012 @06:28PM from the am-I-being-punked? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Variety is reporting that Ashton Kutcher – who you likely recognize from That 70s Show, Punked, and Two and a Half Men – has been tapped to play Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in an indie film titled 'Jobs', based on a script from 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."

  I'm not a Jobs fan, per say, but NO ONE should be posthumously represented by Ashton Kutcher.
  Given his acting skill, I believe Ashton Kutcher might be perfect for representing a posthumous Steve Jobs.

Well he had to shout at them until they did it. Surely that counts for something?

My wife had to walk over to my office to find out why I was laughing like an idiot (she was not nearly as amused for some reason).
