MUMBAI: Five Star Institute‘s Mark Hulme has signed on Ashton Kutcher to star as Steve Jobs in Jobs, a biopic of Steve Jobs.
It‘s a high-profile assignment for Kutcher, and Jobs looks to get off the ground before Sony pulls together its own Steve Jobs biopic. Stern will direct Jobs from a script by Matt Whiteley. The film will chronicle Jobs‘ meteoric rise from Northern California hippie to co-founder of Apple.
Kutcher, known for comedy, has earlier tried his hand at drama including The Butterfly Effect. He also appeared in Bobby that is the story about the assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy in Los Angeles.
