I like his work a lot (The West Wing), but he should pass this up. It could label him as a hatchet man.
The writer of the Oscar-winning film "The Social Network," and long-running TV series "The West Wing," has confirmed that he's been pitched on penning a film about late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.

That should be one interesting bit of casting.
Who do you guys think would be a good choice to play Steve Jobs?

Agreed, that's what I've been thinking since the rumors of the movie started. He could certainly pull of the weight loss necessary if he's willing to do that again.

So... Ashton Kutcher?
Yes, I assumed it was an April Fool's joke too, and I love how they had to point that out. But apparently, Jeff Sneider of Variety insists that it's real: Kutcher will portray Jobs in an indie film.

Although, apparently this is a different project from the one Sorkin is writing.

Seems the Ashton Kutcher, Swing Vote director one is a cheapo/cash-in version, so they cast the most 'trendy' actor. The Sorkin one will probably be A-list and have a real actor/director doing it... not far off from the Battle of LA v. Battle of Los Angeles thing

Some white guy. He was/is a comedian from Comedy Central. Did a movie w/ Ang Lee, Taking Woodstock. That's all I know. He might be Jewish...I don't know why I think that.

He's a hilarious comedian. He also had the 'Jonah Hill' role in Moneyball before Soderbergh dropped out.
