The first released scene from jOBS, the upcoming independent film about tech icon Steve Jobs, emerged online Thursday. Soon after, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak expressed dismay over Ashton Kutcher's portrayal of Jobs and Josh Gad's portrayal of him.
"We never had such interaction and roles," Wozniak told Gizmodo. "I'm not even sure what it's getting at ... personalities are very wrong although mine is closer."
The scene shows Jobs telling Wozniak his "operating system" can be sold to the masses.
The film — not to be confused with the one Sony Pictures is creating based on Walter Isaacson's biography of the late tech luminary — will premiere this week at the Sundance Film Festival and arrive in theaters on April 19. Jobs died from pancreatic cancer in 2011.
Distributors Open Road Films and Five Star Feature Films released this deeper synopsis of jOBS earlier this month:
Directed by Joshua Michael Stern, written by Matthew Whitely, shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Russell Carpenter and produced by Mark Hulme, jOBS details the major moments and defining characters that influenced Steve Jobs on a daily basis from 1971 through 2000. jOBS 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. The filmmakers were granted unprecedented access during shooting to the historic garage in Palo Alto that served as the birthplace to Apple Inc.
