First Video Clip of Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs

MacRumors · Jan 24, 2013, 10:25 AM

Following yesterday's news that the independent film JOBS starring Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs will open in theaters on April 19, ETonline.com has released the first video clip from the film. The brief clip shows Kutcher as Jobs speaking with Josh Gad in the role of Steve Wozniak.

Quote:

In the clip, Jobs (played by Ashton Kutcher) is raving about the operating system that Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak (played by Josh Gad) created. While Jobs is certain that this will become a ubiquitous product for mass consumption, Wozniak needs convincing.

"Nobody wants to buy a computer," says Wozniak.

"How does somebody know what they want if they've never even seen it?" Jobs replies.

In related news, management appears to have made a change to the styling of the film's title, as there had been a fair amount of confusion and criticism over the original "jOBS" styling, an homage to the "i" naming scheme for Apple's products.

But it appears that in recent weeks various official presences for the film such as a revamped teaser site, Twitter account, and Facebook page have adopted a new all-caps styling for JOBS, with the "J" appearing slightly larger than the other capitalized letters in the film's new promotional logo.

JOBS premieres tomorrow at the Sundance Film Festival ahead of the public release on April 19.

(Thanks, Joel!)

I still don't think it's going to do well. I'm against the idea anyways.

Meh, seemed kind of amateur.

aleksoctop · Jan 24, 2013, 10:27 AM

AWESOME. I'm hooked. April 19th can't come soon enough.

ArcaneDevice · Jan 24, 2013, 10:28 AM

Looks and sounds like Ashton Kutcher in the role of Ashton Kutcher.

iforbes · Jan 24, 2013, 10:30 AM

This is an easy pass...

AppleGuesser · Jan 24, 2013, 10:31 AM

Kutcher from that clip seems believable, good. But Woz, wow, thats all I've got really. That was.....shockingly amateurish acting

LOL exactly. I think he looks the part, but his voice just ruins the entire thing.

Since this is more of a documentary I would pay more attention to the message rather than the acting skills, especially in this very small clip.

Ok, very true. When I look at from that perspective, I believe you are right about that.

Stately · Jan 24, 2013, 10:35 AM

I'm not knocking anyone's craft, but have either of these two done any research on the mannerisms and behaviors of the people they are supposed to portray? Maybe it's cause it's Steve, that I'm touchy about it?

Squilly · Jan 24, 2013, 10:35 AM

Anyone else notice the "Hewlett-Packard" wording on the wall?

Yeah...just a small part of it

MasterHowl · Jan 24, 2013, 10:36 AM

I'm actually quite looking forward to it

April 19th is my birthday too

But I'm on a geology field trip at the time waa

sbrhwkp3 · Jan 24, 2013, 10:36 AM

Would have been better off going with some no name guy to take on the roll. Would have felt more authentic. Kutcher is doing okay, and I'll see the movie, but he's got too much of his own presence based on previous stuff to convince Apple people that they're watching Steve Jobs on screen.

pnoyblazed · Jan 24, 2013, 10:37 AM

I'll watch it for ****s and giggles

Your exactly right !!
It just doesn't look right I rather stick with Pirates of Silicone Valley. Noah Wyle played a better Steve Jobs!

Kadin · Jan 24, 2013, 10:38 AM

I like Ashton but this doesn't even come close to Noah Wyle's performance in Pirates. That other guy playing Wozniak is even worse...

Tinmania · Jan 24, 2013, 10:39 AM

I liked what I saw so far. I only hope it stays true to what is known and doesn't deviate a la the hollywood norm.
