Ashton Kutcher To Play Steve Jobs In Biopic

Ashton Kutcher, 34, is one of the most tech-savvy celebrities out there, so it may come as little surprise that when the role of late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs came up, Kutcher went for it. Kutcher, best known for playing Kelso on That 70's Show and replacing Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men, will portray the tech visionary in an independent film called Jobs, Variety announced Sunday.

The film, to be directed by Joshua Michael Stern, will follow Jobs' climb from hippie computer geek to co-founder of the company that would later become the largest publicly traded company in the world. It is not to be confused with Sony Pictures Entertainment's big-budget film based on Walter Isaacson's best-selling biography Steve Jobs, according to New York Daily News.

Production for Jobs will begin in May, when Kutcher is on a break from playing wealthy Internet entrepreneur Walden Schmidt on Two and a Half Men.
