Judging from these images, they have picked the right guy to portray Steve Jobs.
With a little help from the costume department, Ashton Kutcher looked just like a young Steve Jobs, as he walked in the late Apple founder's signature black turtleneck and jeans.
Kutcher, 34, will be bringing Jobs to life in an independent biopic titled just Jobs.
Based on Walter Isaacson's bestselling, authorized biography of the tech legend, the film will see how Jobs turned from a "wayward hippy" to an entrepreneur that ended up changing the way we live our lives.
Jobs died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 56 in October last year.
The film "jOBS" directed by Joshua Michael Stern, known for the 2008 movie "Swing Vote", portrays "the defining 30 years of Steve Jobs' life," according to a statement from the Sundance Institute.
The film written by Matt Whiteley is described as "a candid, inspiring and personal portrait of the one who saw things differently".
The movie aims to tell the story of Jobs's life from wayward hippie to co-founder of Apple and revered creative entrepreneur.
The Facebook page for the film said "jOBS" "is the incredibly powerful and true story of the visionary who set out to change the world, and did".
The producers said on Twitter that "jOBS" will be the closing film at Sundance, which takes place January 17-27 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance, Utah in the US.
Joining Kutcher in the cast of "jOBS" are Dermot Mulroney, Josh Gad, Lukas Haas, J.K. Simmons and Matthew Modine.
Sony Pictures is also developing a movie about Jobs, based on the bestselling book by Walter Isaacson that was released after the Apple chief's death last year. It will be scripted by "Social Network" writer Aaron Sorkin.
Kutcher, 34, was best known for TV shows including "That 70s Show" and "Punk'd" before he replaced Sheen last May at "Two and A Half Men."
Seen it... Calling this a straight-to-TV would be an insult to Pirates of Silicon Valley, which was way better than this soulless, cheesy, cramped up biography of the innovative man.
Terrible film. I actually find Pirates of the Silicon a lot more entertaining. I read Jobs books before so i knew he was somewhat of a smug in real life.
A film should be entertaining, but the character Steve Jobs, regardless how accurate it may be, is very unlikable from the get go. There's almost no redeeming quality in him. It's as the film wants you to hate him to a point of him being an antagonist.
Could have been a great film but it has no balance and the after taste is so horrible that leaves no room for a 2nd viewing.
The end wasn't as expected. Meh. That explains the low IMDB rating. Nevertheless, Ashton Kutcher played the role well but the storyline was meh meh
I think people are bit harsh on it. Why would you want an ending as expected? I agree, Ashton showed he can actually act. He had Jobs walk perfect. The storyline is what it is because it's based on true events. They chose that era of Apple because that's when it shows who Jobs was and how he built one of the biggest companies in the world. Too many people need explosions in movies or they get bored. No attention span.

Everyone's views are subjected to their own opinions. I have mine. So don't impose your views on others.

it's not about the story...it's how they build and connect the story. i personally think this movie sucks like hell..
Pirates of Silicon Valley conveys Jobs life better (even if it's an over exagerration). Ashton Kutcher got the looks and can act the part, but the direction of the story..urgh!
they made this movie like assuming EVERYONE knows every tiny bit of details of Jobs life, which is why it's fail. Viewers wants to see how the story unfold, how to connect with the main character. What this film did is took pieces of events and re-enacts it, instead of TELLING a story.

Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs; there were brilliant moments, some astonishingly (and eerily) similar attributes and then... some lol-worthy acting. The part where he walks like Steve Jobs... so terrible his impression. The part where he fires the programmer for not being on the same page for typeface Bad acting...
Some really good acting, and then some of the worst acting ever, but overall can say he tried his absolute best. Just that at times he tried too hard.
