No April Fools joke here – Variety is reporting that Two and a Half Men star Ashton Kutcher will take on the role of Steve Jobs in an upcoming film.

Following Steve Jobs’ death in October, Sony purchased movie rights to the book Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson.

The film is expected to begin filming in May. Do you think Kutcher can successfully pull of the role of Apple’s legendary founder?

A quick check of Google reveals that some already thought Kutcher could play Jobs based on similar facial features:
