Warner Bros. has something up their sleeves, but dammed if we know what it is. A poster tube has been spotted at a few major comic book stores, and in it is a very legitimate-looking poster for Wonder Twins. (The Twins are the Hanna-Barbera superhero team that's part of the Super Friends.) The "film" stars Ashton Kutcher…

[This is a reprint of a review that originally ran in January, at the Sundance Film Festival. Jobs is in theaters today.] While Steve Jobs changed the world with his innovations and forward thinking, the first biopic about him, Jobs, does not. It is a competent retelling of Jobs' life, beginning with his college years,…

It's a tricky thing to make a biopic when some of the real-life key players are still alive. While Steve Jobs passed away before Joshua Michael Stern's Jobs got going, plenty of other people from his life are still around, and at least one of them is more than happy to speak out about the…

Open Road Films pushed Joshua Michael Stern's Jobs from April to August in part to give the film more opportunity to be marketed. They've used that extra time for a few offbeat stunts, like that 15-second Instagram teaser (the first one ever, the press release boasted), but now they're returning to the more traditional tactic of releasing a brand-new full-length trailer.…

Steve Jobs didn't get where he was by doing what everyone else did. He was so invested in coloring outside the lines, in fact, that he actually adopted "think different" as his corporate slogan. So it only makes sense that a movie about him would try to take a fresh approach, too. Open Road Films…

Apple addicts likely have August 16 starred on their iCalendar. That's when the Steve Jobs biopic, Jobs, starring Ashton Kutcher and Josh Gad is finally hitting theaters. Directed by Joshua Michael Stern, Jobs follows the iconic entrepreneur from his college days up through the creation, decline and eventual revitalization of the Apple brand. It had its world premiere…

Jobs, the biopic of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs starring Ashton Kutcher, premiered at Sundance earlier this year to mixed reviews. Kutcher's performance was surprisingly good, but the script was lacking. "Jobs is so hell-bent on cramming all these seminal moments into one film, it never builds much context around them. We never feel like they mean…

Briefly: Ashton Kutcher made his big bow as Steve Jobs at Sundance, in the film once called jOBS and now wisely re-formatted as Jobs. The film was picked up by Open Road and quickly set for an April 19 limited opening. But audiences are going to have to wait longer to see Kutcher do his…

Finding the right balance between fact and fiction is a tough trick for any "based on a true story" movie to pull off, but at least the subjects of, say, Lincoln (or Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, if you prefer) aren't actually around to comment on their portrayal. For movies about public figures who are still…

The last curiosity of this year's Sundance Film Festival is jOBS, the biopic of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, featuring Ashton Kutcher in the lead role. The film premieres tomorrow night, but in the meantime we've got the first clip from the film. It features a conversation between jobs and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, played by…

Once the initial disbelief at Ashton Kutcher's casting in Joshua Michael Stern's jOBS wore off, it became apparent that the Two and a Half Men star looked the part of late tech guru Steve Jobs, if nothing else. But there's a wide gap between mimicking Jobs' hairstyle and outfits and actually embodying his persona. Sundance…

When Ashton Kutcher was cast as Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in the biopic jOBS, there was much talk about the degree of resemblance between the actor and the young engineer. Now that we've got the first official photo of Kutcher in the role, however, the most impressive thing about it might be the degree to…

If you had told me a year ago that the genius co-founder of Apple Inc. and the lovable idiot from That '70s Show were dead ringers, I probably would've given you the side eye. But after Ashton Kutcher won the lead role in the indie Steve Jobs biopic jOBS (on April Fool's Day, no less),…
Read MoreThe very first pictures from Joshua Michael Stern's indie Steve Jobs biopic jOBS confirmed what we already more or less knew: that Ashton Kutcher can look a lot like the late tech guru in the right outfit. Now a more recent batch of set photos offers glimpses of some of the rest of the cast as…

With shooting already underway, Joshua Michael Stern's Steve Jobs biopic is filling in some key supporting roles. (For clarification, this is a distinct project from the Aaron Sorkin-penned Jobs movie set up at Sony, which has yet to begin casting.) The latest addition to the cast is Matthew Modine, who's slated to play former Apple…

The news that Ashton Kutcher had been cast as late tech guru Steve Jobs for the indie biopic Jobs: Get Inspired raised a few eyebrows when it was first announced, in part because it broke on April Fool's Day. But the producers weren't joking around, and we now have our first look at the Two…

The internet meme comparing Ashton Kutcher with Steve Jobs will soon turn into a weird reality in the indie biopic of the late Apple co-founder, Jobs: Get Inspired. (That's a working title.) News of Kutcher's casting, which hit on April 1, was assumed to be a joke at first, but Jobs producer Mark Hulme and…

It remains to be seen whether or not Ashton Kutcher really can pull off the role of Steve Jobs -- I'm still skeptical -- but at least now we have a little more detail about the circumstances under which the Two and a Half Men star will be playing the late Apple founder. In a recent…

This sounds like an April Fools' joke, but Jeff Sneider of Variety insists that it is not. ("The timing of the story is unfortunate but this information is CONFIRMED," Sneider tweeted.) So here's how the late Apple co-founder will hit the big screen: via the grinning mug of current Two and a Half Men and…

The first trailer has dropped for New Year's Eve, Garry Marshall's not-quite-sequel to his 2010 hit Valentine's Day. If you've ever seen Valentine's Day, you probably know what to expect: big-name celebrities, a bunch of disparate storylines, and people crowing about how goddamn magical the holiday in question is. This time around, many mini-plotlines converge…
