Hey Ashton Kutcher and Aaron Sorkin, you guys can suck it! Justin Long and the crew at Funny or Die have beat you in the Steve Jobs biopic release derby. Their film, ISTEVE, debuted online today. Having read the massive biography of Jobs and seen the clips from Kutcher’s film JOBS, I was left to wonder what direction this version would take on the story. By and far, this has to be the funniest and most bizarre true story I have ever seen.
ISTEVE stars Justin Long as Steve Jobs as both a pioneer and genius who has interacted with many interesting characters during his life. Speaking directly to the camera, Jobs tells his story that takes the viewer from Asian mystics to drug-induced brainstorm all the way to direct interactions with George Lucas as he develops the STAR WARS prequels and beyond. ISTEVE also stars LOST’s Jorge Garcia, James Urbaniak, and Michaela Watkins.
