Actor John Gad, best known for his recent work in the Broadway musical The Book of Mormon, is reportedly being considered to play the role of Steve Wozniak in the upcoming independent film featuring Ashton Kutcher in the role of Steve Jobs.
From The Hollywood Reporter:
Josh Gad, best known for his starring role in the Tony-winning musical The Book of Mormon, is in talks to portray Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak in Jobs, the indie biopic starring Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Filming for the project is set to begin in May, with Joshua Michael Stern as director. The film has a relatively small budget of $5 million, although the well-known Pirates of Silicon Valley was filmed with a similarly low budget, so the film could still turn out quite well.
Personally, I don’t see a very strong resemblance between Gad and The Woz…
