The same guy that got you Punk’d will now be taking on the role as innovator and inventor Steve Jobs, whose life went “from a wayward hippie to co-founder of Apple.” Joshua Michael Stern will be directing the film with the help of  Matt Whiteley’s script, starting production sometime in May. This is definitely a more serious role for Kutcher (do we even need to bring up What Happens in Vegas and all of his shenanigans in That 70’s Show?), but considering the two’s akin bone structure, it only seems appropriate that he plays and portrays Jobs. And who knows, maybe Kutcher is the perfect guy for the part. He has had a lot of practice doing the whole hippy thing…
