Broadway Star In Talks To Play “Woz” In Steve Jobs Biopic

According to the Hollywood Reporter Josh Gad, the star of the Broadway hit “Book of Morman” is in talk to play Steve Wozniak in the new independent biopic on the life of Steve Jobs. The film is set to be directed by Michael Stern, with Mark Hulme at the helm as producer…

Hulme has already stated that the film will cover the years between 1971 and 200, enough to cover Job’s youth, the founding of Apple, his ousting , and his return. The film is set to start shooting in the next month with an expected release sometime during Q4 of 2012. The film has already received a huge backlash from Apple diehards due to the less than stellar track record of director Michael Stern.

One thing is for sure, this movie is going to be a smash hit or a dismal failure. I don’t think there’s much room for a middle of the road flick on this one. Kudos to Ashton Kutcher for taking on this role, it’s not gonna be easy handling the pressure of playing the guy who changed the world.
