MUMBAI: The highly anticipated biopic JOBS starring Aston Kutcher as the visionary entrepreneur of Apple will hit the theatres on August 16. The biopic which was slated for an April release, and had also closed the American Film Festival Sundance, has been postponed. Five Star Films which had made a service deal with the distributors Open Road before the Sundance festival were highly eager to release in April marking the 37th anniversary of Jobs founded Apple.
 
However on account of insufficient time to prepare for a proper release and create the much needed hype and buzz over the biopic the film‘s backers thought it savvy to postpone the release to mid August.
 
The movie directed by Joshua Michael Stern and written by Matthew Whiteley will chronicle the story of Steve Jobs‘ ascension from a college dropout to achieving the status of being one of the most creative entrepreneurs of the 20th Century.
 
Revealing more about the storyline, JOBS will detail the major events and characters that had an influence over Steve Jobs from 1971 to 2001. Plunging deeper into the character, it is anticipated to create an intense dialogue driven story portraying the epic personal portrait of Steve Jobs‘ life.
 
The biopic has being visually treated by the Oscar winning cinematographer Russell Carpenter and produced by Mark Hulme.
 
JOBS stars Ashton Kutcher, Dermot Mulroney, Josh Gad, Lukas Haas, J.K. Simmons and Matthew Modine.
