Ashton Kutcher to play Steve Jobs in new US film

When I was still in a hesitate whether I should re-post this news.
I have chosen to do it, at the end.
This was a news which posted on 2nd April 2012, what makes me hesitate? Usually, I do post the very latest news, or, I wrote what I want to share thereupon.
At this time, I finally choose to re-post this “news” because I have aware that there are many people still missing Steve Jobs, like me, we do miss him, we love him, a still.

Ashton Kutcher is to play Steve Jobs in a new independent film about the late Apple chief’s life, a spokeswoman for the “Two and a Half Men” actor said Monday.
“Jobs” will tell the story of his life from wayward hippie to co-founder of Apple and revered creative entrepreneur, according to industry daily Variety, whose report was confirmed as accurate by the spokeswoman.
Twitter trailblazer Kutcher, who recently split from actress Demi Moore, is attached to the project to be directed by Joshua Michael Stern based on a script by Matt Whiteley, it said.
Production is due to start in May while Kutcher is taking a break from “Two and a Half Men,” the hit TV series he joined last year after Charlie Sheen was sacked following a very public row with the producer.
Major studio Sony Pictures is also developing a movie about Jobs, based on the bestselling book by Walter Isaacson that was released after the Apple chief’s death last October.
Kutcher, 34, was best known for TV shows including “That 70s Show” and “Punk’d” before he replaced Sheen last May. He and Moore, both Twitter early adopters, announced their separation in November.

Steve Jobs book jumps to top of bestseller lists


NEW YORK (Reuters) - Walter Isaacson's biography of Apple Inc co-founder Steve Jobs leapt to the top of bestseller lists in its first week in book stores, flying off shelves to the tune of 379,000 copies, according to Nielsen's BookScan.
"Steve Jobs," which came out on October 24 from publisher Simon & Schuster, sold three times more copies than the next-bestselling book, John Grisham's "The Litigators."
In its first week alone the book became one of the year's 20 bestsellers.
It has been a year since any book has sold more copies in its first week. Both former President George W. Bush's autobiography, "Decision Points," and Jeff Kinney's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth," sold more than 400,000 copies in their first week last November.
Jobs died on October 5 of pancreatic cancer, age 56. The publication of Isaacson' book, which was written with Jobs' cooperation, was moved up from the original 2012 date.
The 571-page volume was released on Apple's iBooks online store and Amazon's Kindle the day before it hit stores. Amazon later said it expected the book to be its top seller of the year. Sony has already picked up film rights to the book.
