Good beard but ... where is his TURTLENECK?

The first official pic of Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs in the Apply-titled jOBS has been unveiled by Sundance.

First official pic of Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs

The Aaron Sorkin-scripted biopic will be premiering at the Sundance Festival next year, when legions of fanbois will be prepared to vilify any and all attempts to chronicle the great man's life or chant Steve's name in voices filled with wonder.

Sorkin is filming the movie in three scenes taken in real time, each backstage at the launch of a major product, the first Mac, the NeXT computer and the first iPod.

The screenwriter has said that Jobs was "atypical, and a genius, and extremely difficult", hinting that the movie might not be the all-out Jobsian lovefest some may be hoping for. ®

Re: Apple haters can start getting their rotten tomatoes ready now

No matter how good/bad the story it, I fully expect that a good section of those who post here will claim the movie to be the Best Ever Movie and pelt the none believers with verbal diarrhoea and downvotes just because they don't adulate a company.

This post will be downvoted into oblivion but there is no disguising that some people worship a company/businessman with a worryingly frenzied obsessiveness which is completely unhealthy.

I will probably give the movie a miss as anything where people are undoubtedly going to woop, holla and cheer at a screen - and they will, they did when Apple announced places on a map! - will make me want to be sick in my mouth a little.

There, fixed that for you.

It'll be fun watching the fanbois who love Apple but hate Ashton Kutcher wrestle with their emotions on tech/film forums everywhere :)

I haven't read the film synopsis so can someone tell me.

Is this the one about a smelly antisocial drugged up hippy? Or the one about a tyrannical bastard hell bent on subjecting his will upon everything?
