Aston Kutcher Steve Jobs
The TV movie of Steve Jobs’ life will be going to at least one authentic location to try tell the story.
Five Star Feature Films announced this week that its made-for-TV movie, jOBS: Get Inspired.. will be filming in the original garage at Jobs’ Los Altos, CA childhood home where he and Steve Wozniakfounded Apple. While the press release states that the project is committed ”to accuracy and authenticity,” there is no word yet on what other real life locations from Jobs’ life will be used in the filming.
For those having trouble keeping track of the competing Steve Jobs films that are currently being worked on, jOBS is the one starring Ashton Kutcher, and before now it wasn’t clear that this will be a TV film. We saw pictures just last week of Kutcher in his Steve Jobs costume, and we now know that the film will cover his life from 1971 to 2000. This means it should cover the founding of Apple, his departure from the company, the founding of Pixar & NeXT and his eventual return to his original company.
The other film currently being worked on is from Sony and is the official adaptation of Walter Isaacson’s biography of Jobs. Aaron Sorkin has been hired to write the screenplay, and Steve Wozniak has been brought on as a consultant for the film.
jOBS is expected to air on television some time this fall while no release date has been announced of yet for the Sony project.
