Ashton Kutcher to Play Apple Co-Founder “Steve Jobs” in Upcoming TV Movie

Ashton Kutcher to play Steve Jobs in upcoming movie

It’s not like Ashton Kutcher needs the work or the attention these days…

Kutcher has recently taken over the sitcom “Two and a Half Men” from Charlie Sheen, is divorcing his wife Demi Moore, was pressured to buy Justin Bieber to buy a $6 million dollar mansion, and became Executive Producer on MTV’s revived “Punk’d” series – all in the last 8 months!

Kutcher's publicist confirmed this week that an independent production company is making a biography of the late Steve Jobs who died in October from pancreatic cancer.

The made for TV movie will begin filming in April 2012 and be ready for a possible fall release.

No word yet on what network will air the biography but it will cover Job’s career from his hippie years competing with Microsoft up to his death when he ran the world’s largest gadget maker after creating the iPhone, iPod, iPad, iTunes, and a host of other media innovations.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has chimed in about the project saying,

“As to the role of Steve Jobs I have little to say. Everyone has their own idea of who they think could play Steve the best. But when we started Apple at our young ages I decided not to put my nose and comments into every aspect of the company, like the color of boxes or the job responsibilities for a team. I would not step on the toes of people who had done these jobs for many years or decades. I would just do my engineering where I could not fail. So I look at the casting agencies and directors who are experts at casting. I trust that they considered all the relevant factors and made the best selection.

The fear that many might have is that Ashton Kutcher was selected because he's 'hot' right now. But I feel that his selection was done in the most professional manner. And I'm glad that he's on board. I think he'll put a lot into it and that he cares about this particular subject."

It is well known that Steve Jobs and Wozniak had a few rough moments during their career and Wozniak eventually parted ways letting Job’s take the helm and run with ball.

Their differences were well documented in another made for TV movie “Pirates of Silicon Valley” starring Noah Wyle as Jobs.

Photos - Emaciated Photos of Steve Jobs Surface the Day after His Resignation

Update: Steve Jobs died October 05, 2011 from his cancer. RIP Steve, you changed the world and we will miss you.

Original Post:

Earlier this week when Apple CEO Steve Jobs tendered his resignation letter to the board of directors at Apple he said the day had come where he could no longer do his job.

Jobs has been on a “Medical” leave since January and has not been seen or photographed in public for the last six months.

And now we know why.

Today, photos of an emaciated Steve Jobs surfaced that unfortunately tell his story of pancreatic cancer and the resulting treatments.

The photos are shocking and show just how far along Steve’s illness has progressed.

Believe me, I have been around many terminal patients and when they get to this stage it is just a matter of time before they pass away.

That will be the next Steve Jobs headline.

So sad.

I suspect with Steve’s high IQ and great wisdom there must also be a healthy dose of pragmatism as well.

We really debated long and hard before writing this story and publishing these pictures. But the Bible says God gives us the sick to humble the healthy, and He gives us the poor to humble the rich.

Somehow, we pray that whatever message this post can send will be sent - and you will hear it in your own way, for your own needs.

God speed Steve Jobs.

You changed the World and that’s more than I can say I’ve done…

Steve Jobs Resigns From Apple - The End of an Era

An iconic business leader that carved his company into the culture of not only America – but the World, is stepping down.

Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs has just announced his resignation from the company.

Jobs, who was an instrumental figure, along with Bill Gates and Microsoft, during the early days of personal computers, has navigated Apple through the development of the original Macintosh computer all the way to the now ubiquitous iPhone.

Jobs, who has suffered several medical problems including pancreatic cancer, sent a letter to the Board of Directors on Wednesday.

“I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come. I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.”

Jobs, who has recently appeared gaunt and clearly showing signs of weight loss, is expected to stay on in some capacity with the company for as long as he is able.

Jobs has recommended to the Board that he be replaced with current Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook.

Apple became a household after it released its now famous “1984” television commercial for the original Macintosh computer in 1984.



Steve Jobs became an instrumental leader in the personal computing industry with the first computer to ever use a mouse for navigation.

His stage presence and presentation skills are legendary with his ability to whip a crowd into a frenzy with his new product announcements.
