By the Funny or Die folks and starring Justin Long as Steve Jobs and Jorge Garcia (Lost) as Steve Wozniak, this alternate look at Steve Jobs’ life is available online now. Coming in at almost 80mins, this is the longest production ever by Funny or Die.
Watch it now – iSteve on Funny or Die and let me know what you think of this!
Update – This isn’t anywhere near funny from Funny or Die.
Can’t wait for JOBS the Steve Jobs biopic staring Ashton Kutcher – well before that hit the big screen there’s iSteve – the latest project from the site Funny or Die.
According to the article in New York Times, the movie stars Justin Long as Steve Jobs, James Urbaniak as Bill Gates, Michaela Watkins as Melinda Gates and Jorge Garcia from Lost plays Steve Wozniak.
“In true Internet fashion, it’s not based on very thorough research — essentially a cursory look at the Steve Jobs Wikipedia page,” said Ryan Perez, who wrote and directed “iSteve.” “It’s very silly. But it looks at his whole life.”
Funny or Die will release iSteve on 15 April, while the Ashton Kutcher version will come out later in the year after the distributor scrapped its initial opening date of 19 April. Besides these two, there will be one more movie on Jobs, written by Aaron Sorkin based on Walter Isaacson’s best-selling Jobs biography.
Looks like we’ll see three different Steve Jobs on the big screen this year – which will come closest?

Fredo and Pidjin’s suggestion on how Apple can go _thermonuclear” on those iPhone copycats…
Here’s a clip from the movie JOBS starring Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs and Josh Gad as Steve Wozniak and the real Woz was quick to point out how wrong it is at Gizmodo…
Totally wrong. Personalities and where the ideas of computers affecting society did not come from Jobs. They inspired me and were widely spoken at the Homebrew Computer Club. Steve came back from Oregon and came to a club meeting and didn’t start talking about this great social impact. His idea was to make a $20 PC board and sell it for $40 to help people at the club build the computer I’d given away. Steve came from selling surplus parts at HalTed he always saw a way to make a quick buck off my designs (this was the 5th time).
The lofty talk came much further down the line.
I never looked like a professional. We were both kids. Our relationship was so different than what was portrayed. I’m embarrassed but if the movie is fun and entertaining, all the better. Anyone who reads my book iWoz can get a clearer picture.
Hopefully this movie will hit our shores soon.

The Steve Jobs biopic staring Ashton Kutcher will premier at next year’s Sundance Festival as the festival’s closing night film.
The Sundance Institute also released the first official photo of Kutcher as Jobs, in a pose similar to one taken when Jobs was younger. In case you are not sure, Kutcher’s Jobs is on the right.
