In the pics, Kutcher, 34, is seen heading to the set of an upcoming indie movie tentatively titled "Jobs: Get Inspired," which is scheduled to be released this fall. The film reportedly focuses on the late Apple co-founder as a young hippie-turned-technology visionary.
While the likeness is more impressive than some people thought it would be, there's at least one goof so far. Jobs mostly wore New Balance 991’s, but it looks like Kutcher is wearing Asics, Cult of Mac notes.

Production
The actors did their own singing and played their own instruments live during the filming, with guitarist Jerry Zaremba overdubbing the guitar parts. Busey, in particular, was admired by critics for recording the soundtrack music for the film live and losing a considerable amount of weight in order to portray the skinny Holly.
And hey, I did like The Butterfly Effect.
Oranges. Don't use us because we have better technology, use us... because.
Oranges. We didn't create it, but you'll tell your friends we did.
Oranges. You want to look original, don't you? Then use only Oranges, like everybody else.
When comparing apples to Oranges, at least we're pretty.
Jobs was a visionary.
Without Jobs, we wouldn't have Pixar as it is today
Without Jobs, we wouldn't have the cell phone as it is today
Without Jobs, we wouldn't have portable music as it is today
Without jobs, the computer wouldn't be as it is today.
The man was a visionary, much more than you'll ever be in your life
The iPod did nothing impressive, everything it did was available on an earlier mp3 player, Apple just marketed the iPod better than it's predecessors.
And you just made me die a little inside. Steve Jobs did nothing for computers, all he did was take what some nerds did, put his name on it, and sell it.
I'm not jealous of a good salesman. If I were jealous of anybody, it would be the inventors.
As for Ashton Kutcher... I won't knock it until I see it.
Kutcher is a devout obama supporter and socialist. So NO on him ever working again.
Imagine that! Here I thought we were living in a modern, free world. But nope. 1950's Red Scare/political oppression it is!
