First Official Press Shot of Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs Released, 'jOBS' to Premiere at Sundance

[g0odfr1end102]

This is freaky! The ressemblance is just

 

[charlituna]

Who pissed in your Wheaties?

Steve Jobs.

And told him it was magical

----------

He certainly does look the part. Let's hope he can act the part.

And the director and writer can do their parts well. Can't say I have a lot of faith in those two. But like Jobs, I'm willingly to be convinced

 

[majordude]

Well, I don't really like Ashton but I really didn't think Jim Carry was an actor... yet he NAILED Andy Kaufman in "Man on the Moon." So I'm hoping for more than I expect.

 

[Puevlo]

In other news, Ashton Kutcher sued by Apple for infringing on the "look & feel" of Jobs.

 

[demodave]

Meh.

Ashton Kutcher? Really? Meh. It's hard for me to accept the guy who does "punked" as the role-player for Steve Jobs. I'll probably see it on video, but I don't promise to like it.

 

[charlituna]

it's a pity they chose Joshua Michael Stern to direct it! david Fincher, Christopher Nolan or Sam Mendes would have been a better choice. Looking at Joshua's previous work, it sucks!

"They" are basically the writer, director and a buddy that is the producer. That's why they have such a low budget.

Classic case of hoping to make a career with a risk, might work might fail bigger than Ping

 

[wizzerandchips]

Musta forgot his shoes?

Dead on resemblance. Ashton isn't a terrible actor, just a lot (most) of his starting roles entitle him as a goofy/young/immature man.

A Butterfly Affect, The Guardian, & Reindeer Games are all movies he has starred in that, I think, are all phenomenal feature films.

For all is so called failings in acting....he had many years with Demi Moore, guys a dude in my eyes....

 

[MacDav]

Gotta admit he does look a lot like Steve Jobs

Looking like Steve Jobs is not the problem. The problem is having a good screenplay to work from and having the ability to act.

[jhoofnail]

Ugh, I really wish I wasn't admitting this but he does bare a rather striking resemblance. Let's hope he's got the acting chops to really make us forget he's Ashton kutcher

Ok who's the designer or art director on this movie...they haven't done their research on the correct style of the think logo....blame them for that.

 

[bretm]

Reminds me of Tom Cruise, another awful actor who can only play roles that are similar to himself in real life: an overwhelming jackass.

And Dinero really goes on on a limb to play differing roles.

Who pissed in your Wheaties?

Steve Jobs.

 

[yanki01]

looks spot on - just not a fan of Ashton.

 

[wizzerandchips]

Would be so into watching this, but for Kutchers acting is awful.

Pass.

So are you saying you will not watch it at all,come on curiosity will be tugging at your coat tails....so you can start a thread about how awful it was..quote unquote.

 

[Lancer]

This should be good, guess it will turn up on iTunes first!

 

[Regbial]

do you really have to write [sic]? We get it. This isn't a high school essay.

I've never fully understood this word and it's use to be honest...

 

[bretm]

I'm here because I use apple products. Fortunately I didn't gobble up everything that Steve said as law, nor have I since his death. That said, I'll continue reading between the lines, I have no trust in Apple nor any other company. Its pretty ridiculous to cheer on for a company like a sports team.

When you think about it, isn't just as, or more so, ridiculous to cheer on a sports team?

 

[mrgraff]

I've never fully understood this word and it's use to be honest...

It means the spelling, as shown, was quoted from the source, and acknowledges that it is not spelled correctly - either intentionally or by accident. It is used to show that the incorrect spelling is not a mistake made by the person repeating the quote.

 

[charlituna]

The way they spelled it is attributable to movie naming conventions. Steve signed his name with a lower case j. See the Apple formation documents for an example. That's public.

If they wanted to write it the way that Steve himself wrote it then it would be all lowercase. Not the Apple iDevice way

 

[mrgraff]

When you think about it, isn't just as, or more so, ridiculous to cheer on a sports team?

Professional teams? Yes, I agree with you, but I'll cheer on the college and high school teams. IMO, professional teams are essentially entertainment companies that specialize in sports.

 

[charlituna]

? Are we only going to the it in DVD without additional stuff such as previews or a menu.

ITunes Extras FTW.

In fact that will probably be the only way it comes out cause the company doesn't have the funding for publishing optical disks. But they will try to play it out that they are doing it on the iTunes Store only cause that was Steve's project

 

[IJ Reilly]

I've never fully understood this word and its use to be honest...

From the Chicago Manual of Style:

Sic may be inserted in brackets following a word misspelled or wrongly used in the original. Overuse of this device, however, is to be discouraged. In most books it is wholly unnecessary to call attention to every variant spelling, every oddity of expression, in quoted material.

 

[184550]

Really!!??

Compared to whom? Paris Hilton?

Compared to any real actor, well...über terrible pretty much covers it.

This isn't that pseudo intellectual movie thread.

If they wanted to write it the way that Steve himself wrote it then it would be all lowercase. Not the Apple iDevice way

It's not even the "iDevice way" as you just showed. There's never been an iMAC, iPOD or iPHONE as far as I recall. I think that Jobs or jobs would have been fine.

Now that I'm thinking about it ... it seems more fitting to be just Steve, or his full name, as he was referred to most often by those.
