Steve Jobs Film Starring Ashton Kutcher Will Be Released August 16th

The Steve Jobs biopic JOBS, starring Ashton Kutcher, will be released on August 16th, 2013.

Open Road Films will release JOBS – the highly anticipated film chronicling the story of Steve Jobs’ ascension from college dropout to one of the most revered creative entrepreneurs of the 20th century – nationwide on August 16, 2013. JOBS details the major moments and defining characters that influenced Steve Jobs on a daily basis from 1971 through 2001. The film plunges into the depths of his character, creating an intense dialogue-driven story that is as much a sweeping epic as it is an immensely personal portrait of Steve Jobs’ life. Directed by Joshua Michael Stern, written by Matthew Whiteley, JOBS was shot by 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.

The film was originally set for release on April 19th, the 37th anniversary of Apple Computer; however, it was delayed reportedly because Open Road wanted more time to market the film.


The movie debuted at the Sundance Film Festival. You can read reviews here or watch a clip from the film here.
