Ashton Kutcher believes Steve Jobs role meant for him

PanARMENIAN.Net - Ashton Kutcher is pouring himself into the role of Steve Jobs before filming begins next month on “Jobs,” an indie biopic about the late Apple innovator, The Daily reports.

“He is already meeting with folks that knew Steve Jobs. He’s working with professionals to get inside the voice. He’s letting his hair grow out. I understand he’s canceled all meetings and actually canceled all other projects,” producer Mark Hulme, whose newly formed Five Star Feature Films is the sole investor behind “Jobs,” told Flash.

“He believes the role was meant for him.”

Hulme says Kutcher will “prove to the world that this is the right part for him.”

“When he read the script, he loved it. He and the director (Joshua Michael Stern) met two days later and they could tell that this was the right direction,” Hulme told us.

“The physical resemblance is actually scary ... but he himself connects with this man in a very significant way. Of course he’s a big techie. He has a personal affinity to what Steve Jobs accomplished,” Hulme added. “Ashton is a much more intense individual than a lot of his current roles represent. We are feeling convinced that he’s gonna nail this.”

The report suggests not ruling him out for a Best Actor Oscar campaign, either. Kutcher will begin filming “Jobs” next month in hopes of releasing the film by Thanksgiving, in time for awards consideration.
