Ashton Kutcher will play Steve Jobs in an upcoming movie

Ashton Kutcher will play Steve Jobs in an upcoming indie movie. This seems like an April’s Fools joke crafted by a genius, but all clues say it’s actually true. Trade paper Variety broke the news on Sunday, April 1st, but we’ve never seen the publication post jokes and moreover this is featured, so while reserving some caution, we’d take it at face value.
The film will be directed by Joshua Michael Stern known for “Swing Vote” and the script will be written by Matt Whiteley. Production is expected to start in May when Ashton Kutcher will have some spare time from “Two and a half men.”
Sony is also preparing a motion picture dedicated to Steve Jobs based on Walter Isaacson's biography, but that one would be far from an indie movie.
