Acum doua zile v-am spus ca Ashton Kutcher a fost ales pentru a juca rolul lui Steve Jobs intr-un film denumit “Jobs” si astazi avem primele declaratii in legatura cu pelicula care va fi filmata incepand cu luna mai a acestui an. Initiatorii proiectului spun ca Ashton Kutcher este foarte entuziasmat in legatura cu filmul, ca si-a anulat celelalte aranjamente pentru a pregati acest proiect si ca a inceput deja sa se intalneasca cu persoane care il cunosteau pe regretatul CEO al Apple. Kutcher este desigur un fan al lui Steve Jobs si al produselor Apple si avand in vedere popularitatea si talentul lui Ashton, cred ca vom avea parte de un film extrem de interesant.
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. He believes the role was meant 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. 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. 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.
“Jobs” va fi lansat in cinematografe in perioada Zilei Recunostintei deci dupa aniversarea unui an de la decesul lui Steve Jobs insa producatorii peliculei sunt convinsi ca ea are toate sansele sa aiba mare succes in cinematografele americane. Filmul va avea concurenta din partea unui proiect al Sony care a achizitionat drepturile asupra biografiei autorizate scrise de Walter Isaacson si va produce o pelicula asemanatoare insa desigur cu alti actori. Ashton Kutcher este fara indoiala un actor foarte bun, are extrem de multi fani si pana acum toate filmele sale au fost bune dar interpretarea lui Steve Jobs cred ca il va face mult mult mai popular decat si-ar fi imaginat vreodata avand in vedere ca Steve Jobs are sute de milioane de fani care cred ca ar fi mai mult decat dispusi sa vada filmul.
Desi “Jobs” va fi un film care merita vazut, din pacate intreaga sa actiune se va concentra pe inceputul relatiei dintre Jobs si Wozniak, fondarea Apple, “caderea” lui Steve Jobs si intoarcerea la Apple deci nu vom ajunge la adevaratele zile de glorie pe care Apple “le traieste” abia acum. Ce parere aveti despre scenariu si despre alegerea lui Kutcher?
This project is so significant that I don’t want any actor to come on board that doesn’t believe in it and thinks that it’s award-worthy. We had some anxiety before the book came out, but we were happy to read that there wasn’t anything … that would give us a disadvantage. We were already finished with a first draft at that particular time. We think that it’s in the spirit of Steve Jobs that we are being independent and moving very quickly. We think that possibly Sony would look at telling a different part of the story. We decided between 1971, the initial partnership of Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, is where we would start and then the bulk of the script remains in the early years of Apple and the recruiting of [former Apple CEO] John Sculley from Pepsi and then of course Jobs’ ousting and a smaller portion is his triumph and his return.
