The Steve Jobs movie starring Ashton Kutcher, not to be confused with the move being produced by Sony, finally has a release date. The Sundance Institute announced yesterday that jOBS would be premiering in January at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

Ashton Kutcher Steve Jobs

He looks the part, but can he act the part?

The movie will of course be centered around Steve Jobs, being played by Ashton Kutcher, but Steve Wozniak, played by Josh Gad, will also make an appearance. The film will also feature scenes from the historic garage where Jobs and Wozniak founded Apple, as well as Jobs’ Los Altos home. This will help maintain both accuracy and authenticity.

In April Gizmodo compiled a list of other actors that would be a better fit for the Steve Jobs role than Ashton Kutcher

Even though there has been some scepticism that Ashton Kutcher, from That 70′s Show, was not the right choice for the role as Steve Jobs, from various leaked pictures he indeed looks the part. And we will soon see if he indeed can act the part shortly.
