First Look at Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs

The first teaser image for the Steve Jobs biopic, jOBS, has been released online, showing lead actor Ashton Kutcher looking every bit like Steve Jobs in the late Apple founder's younger years.

The teaser image certainly proves that visually, Ashton is the perfect guy for the role. What's up for debate is whether Kutcher has enough acting chops to pull off a serious non-quirky role. You can bet that his performance will be closely scrutinized once the film comes out.

Not to be confused by the Aaron Sorkin-scripted Steve Jobs movie (which is still in the writing stage at this point), jOBS will be premiering at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival alongside a whole bunch of other anticipated debuts (including the directorial debut of Joseph Gordon Levitt, Don Jon's Addiction).

Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs?

There's word going around that "Two and a half men" star Ashton Kutcher has been asked to play former apple CEO Steve Jobs in an indie film that documents the rise of the Apple co-founder.

The news came out of the blue, but it's not that surprising. One can easily assume that Kutcher got pegged for the role simply because he bears a striking resemblance to the late Steve Jobs.

Keep in mind that it's only a rumor at this point, and Kutcher himself has yet to confirm his role in the flick, which is entitled "Jobs." It's been said that the production for the indie film will start in May, which coincides with Kutcher's hiatus from his hit CBS series.

The indie movie will only focus on Jobs' early years, and not on the period after he returned to Apple and turned the company around. A different biopic from Sony will deal with that point in Job's life.
