Josh Gad Likely to Play Steve Wozniak in Steve Jobs Indie Film

[diazj3]

oh, ok... NOW I get it

Ashton Krutcher as Steve Jobs...

Josh Gad as Wozniak...

... both sitcom / TV / comedians with little resemblance to the actual people they portray...

The only explanation... IT'LL BE A COMEDY/MUSICAL THAT WILL EVOLVE INTO A SITCOM SERIES!!!

So, here are some suggestions:


Adam Sandler as Jon Ive



Jon Cryer as Bill Gates



and Ed O'Neill or Michael Richards as Tim Cook...?

Although perhaps they should consider Cosmo Kramer as a candidate to play Woz's crazy scientist character...


So, who else can we cast for this (yet another post-Jobs money-maker) project?

cheers!

PS. must acknowledge Gad's great work in Broadway with The Book of Mormon (after a couple of not so great appearances in The Daily Show - perhaps because of the writers or the characters they gave him). Good for him he's getting new opportunities.

Horrible Choice

Josh Gad is an "undesirable". Steve is a likable guy, who appears clean and just a little hip. Gad doesn't even come close to that persona, especially in his voice and acting. I don't think Gad will be able to touch Steve's deep Polish humor, let alone portray a character who pioneered the computer industry.

Any professional actor with remotely similar looks to these guys will be fine. It's their job to become other people, with all the studying of character that follows. For example: I heard someone cry out that Kutcher wouldn't be a good Jobs "despite the role in The Butterfly Effect". Well, he wasn't trying to be Jobs in The Butterfly Effect, was he?

Maybe Woz Himself would like to give it a try...

2012 Woz is too fat to play 1970 Woz

 

[jonnysods]

Woah. Not exactly a look alike there.

I agree...if you want the movie to be a bust

Can't stand Jack Black, and anything he's played in...

School of Rock is a pretty good movie. I have to agree with you on everything else, though.

Genius.

Sorry. Couldn't help myself.

I am looking forward to seeing how this movie plays out. Hopefully it won't be a bust because of the actors.

This is what I actually thought for a moment, but then I realized that this film will involve past events; Wozniak doesn't look like how he used to in the 1990s.

There are other issues, of course.

Still, couldn't he act later on in the film?

Still, couldn't he act later on in the film?

Judging from his cameo on the Big Bang Theory, no he couldn't.

Besides which, why would Woz even be in the latter part of a Jobs biography?

Jack Black is an intense actor, and would overshadow Ashton.

The shadow of a flea would overshadow Ashton.
He has the dramatic depth of a dried up puddle.
Or is this going to be "Those Wacky 80's" sketch?
