A day before its limited premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, the filmmakers of 'jOBS' have released the first clip showing off Ashton Kutcher as the late Apple founder.
The clip shows Jobs and co-founder Steve Wozniak speaking in an HP parking garage and it does appear that Kutcher has learned the mannerisms and the voice of Jobs.
jOBS will see wide release on April 19, the 37th anniversary of the founding of the company.
The movie covers the years 1971-2000, right before the release of the original iPod and the beginning of Apple as the giant it is today. The film will show off Jobs' founding of the company, his ouster, the founding of NeXT and Pixar, and his return to the company after Apple purchased NeXT in 1996 for $429 million. NeXT's software highly influenced Mac OS X and iOS. Some of the movie was filmed in the original garage in which Apple was founded.
