Yes, you read that right.

Two and a Half Men star Ashton Kutcher will reportedly play Apple's former CEO in an upcoming indie biopic called simply 'Jobs'.

According to Jeff Sneider over at website Variety, the film, which will be directed by Joshua Michael Stern, will "chronicle Steve Jobs from wayward hippie to co-founder of Apple".

The film will purportedly begin production sometime in May while Kutcher is enjoying a break from shooting his popular CBS sitcom.

Sony Pictures is currently developing its own Steve Jobs movie, which will be based on Walter Isaacson's bestselling biography of Apple's late co-founder.
