Ashton Kutcher resemblance to Steve Jobs is uncanny. Photos have been released teasing the new biopic of the iPhone genius behind the Apple empire who died in 2011 from a long battle with pancreatic cancer. The film "jOBS" will be directed by Joshua Michael Stern, which will be "the defining 30 years of Steve Jobs' life," the Sundance Institute said in a statement. 

The image of the Kutcher with his shaggy hair and similar facial structure from a 1977 photo of Jobs makes you believe that they are the same person. Impressed with the actors striking image of the late tech master, co-star Josh Gad, who plays Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak told Us Weekly, "Ashton is going to blow a lot of people away. His performance was absolutely transformational. If he looked any more like Steve Jobs, I think it would just confuse a lot of people. It's that uncanny."

Kutcher has been in the news a lot about his divorce with Demi Moore and new girlfriend, Mila Kunis, but many wonder if his acting will deter people from his personal life for once. Many wonder is Kutcher could possibly pull off playing Jobs, but like the rest, we'll find out soon enough. Producer announced that the film will be viewed as the closing film at Sundance, Jan. 17 through 27 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance, Utah.

Could this break Kutcher's career for a possible Academy Award nomination?
