Jobs Trailer: Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs

Say what you will about the Kutch, he does a fairly convincing Steve Jobs. Watch Ashton Kutcher take on the role of one of the most revered men of our time in the first trailer for  Jobs . Jobs Trailer The film tells the story of Jobs and Steve Wozniak, played by Josh Gad, as they start building computers in their garage, and eventually go on to found Apple Computers. It looks like a fairly straightforward, safely-played biopic, and the trailer feels a bit formulaic given that the movie was already lampooned  before it came out by the Funny or Die movie  iSteve . Dermot Mulroney, Matthew Modine, and James Woods also star. Jobs  will hit theaters August 16.

Robert Downey, Jr. to Play Iron Man Again!

Robert Downey, Jr. gave us a real scare there for a little while, talkin’ bout “I want to stop playing super heroes.” Well, it seems that Disney and Marvel Studios convinced him otherwise. I wonder how they did it!? (he asks, holding up a sack of money) Sorry, the cynical side of me always pops out at times like this. But we should all actually be excited that Downey will play Iron Man in  The Avengers 2 and  3 as per a new two-picture deal, because he is definitely the heart of that franchise. Still, the news seems to suggest that Downey is done with  Iron Man movies, which means that Disney will have to deal with his departure relatively soon. They could recast the character, reboot the series, or just kill Stark off. Our guess is that however they decide Downey should part the role, they will address it in  Iron Man 3 .

Shailene Woodley Cut Out of The Amazing Spider-Man 2!

Shailene Woodley was all set to play Mary Jane Watson in  The Amazing Spider-Man 2 . So set, in fact, that she already shot all of her scenes. But it looks like she’ll have to wait until the third film. Marc Webb announced that Woodley has been cut from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 . “I made a creative decision to streamline the story and focus on Peter and Gwen and their relationship,” said Webb about the decision. Woodley is understandably upset, saying, “Of course I’m bummed, but I am a firm believer in everything happening for a specific reason.” The plan now is for the character to be introduced in  The Amazing Spider-Man 3 , which recently received a 2016 release date. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will hit theaters May 2, 2014, without Woodley.
