I noticed a lot of people don't like this actor or even the movie. The actor probably reads these comments and that is why he is speaking out so much now. He probably visits this site.
I hope the movie does well.

Well, I have seen the trailer ... I sure hope Ashton Kutcher did all his research after the trailer ... because in the trailer he reminded me more of "Kelso" than "Jobs".
I was impressed after seeing Ashton Kutcher in an Interview on the Verge. He does seem to have a genuine interest for the whole industry and for the person.
In that Interview he mentioned that he used to write code in Fortran. After that I stopped seeing him as Kelso.
The only thing I'm really afraid of is the script. The trailer was really specific about Jobs seeing the potential of a PC while Woz was doubting it. Woz denied it being so in an interview. I hope they do a good job on the rest of the story and don't put their spin on things. I don't want to see a simplistic, romanticised version of Jobs life's story

WHAT THE HECK is up with all these Ashton Kutcher stories?
1-Ashton plays Steve Jobs (ok, thats cool)
2-Ashton talks about playing Steve Jobs (meh)
3-Ashton talks MORE about playing Jobs
4-Ashton talks MORE about playing Jobs (wtf?)
5-Ashton talks MORE about playing Jobs
6-Ashton talks MORE about playing Jobs
7-Ashton talks MORE about playing Jobs
8-Ashton talks MORE about playing Jobs
9-Ashton talks MORE about playing Jobs
How much more is this going to go on for? How much more can Ashton talk about playing Steve Jobs? Can MacRumors give this topic a rest already?!
Kutcher just likes hearing himself talk - like a politician...
There have been an awful lot of articles about this lately.

Woz is right (obviously lol). The movie said, woz: "People don't want computers!" IRL, Woz was a hobbyist, he loved to produce ciruits, and chips, and tinker around with electronics but never saw it as something more than a hobby, something fun. But he never doubted that people would want one or that they would sell etc.
Kutcher overplayed his role, it just doesn't feel natural, the voice the moves, plain imitation. I've watched the previews a couple of times trying to find it worth watching and i couldn't.
You wrote the words "Ashton Kutcher" and "Pontificate" in the same sentence.
Hehehehahahaeheheaha

Well this movie is interesting because its the only one that has ever attempted to capture the swag of 80s Steve Jobs and who he was as the man who eventually built up to that level of confidence.
Its most appropriate that Aston Kutcher who used to be a high fashion model would portray that early era charisma most cleverly and capture the influential-ness of his American-Psycho-esque aura from the 80s. (which in part was due to his looks)
I mean look at this rare interview and imagine more what type of person he was in his private life, being a famous millionaire and all. And its all tied in together. Hes pretty much just "Sales Freestyling" in this whole thing.
Agreed.
It might be a completely different type of movie. I still cant figure out how its only three conversation scenes. They better be some damn profound dialogue. (There might be, knowing the talent level involved; he DID make SportsNight)

judging from the trailer the film looks really nice, i hope it breaks records at the box office.
Did anyone see "Pirates of Silicon Valley"?
It was a class-B ish movie, but I think all of the main actors did very well.
Not just Gates & Jobs (Noah While), in fact, the movie is narrated by both
the Woz and Ballmer characters from the IBM and Apple sides of the story,
and they do great as well.
I agree. Pirates was a closer representation of Jobs then this move will be. And even Pirates was not even close, they they knew it and made fun of it. This movie pretends to be 100% accurate when it's not even 50% accurate.
Chance of me ever watching this movie willingly? 0%.

It's boom actually.
