Nothing against Mr. Kutcher of course, but I seriously question his ability to play this character. This is a serious role with serious emotions and serious responsibility, and I'm not sure if Kutcher has the resume or the ability to pull off Steve Jobs.
As justanotheratom notes, Christian Bale would probably be a much better choice. Not solely because of the fact that Bale is a far more accomplished and critically-acclaimed actor, but because he seems like he could really do well in Steve Job's role. I just can't see Ashton Kutcher in an argument with a young Bill Gates or explaining principles of design to early investors. He just hasn't proven that he's able to really own a complex character.
- Strallus 15y agoI thought Kutcher was pretty good in The Butterfly Effect.
- phaus 15y agoHe was great in The Butterfly Effect, but the role was pretty much perfect. He's excellent at playing nice, slightly dopey characters. I think that he could capture the hippie side of Jobs, but I'm not sure if he can act mean enough.
- crag 15y agoAnd what makes you think this movie won't portray Steve Jobs as a demigod? I'd be surprised if the movie "Job" has a mean side.
