"Matthew Modine has signed on to star in the upcoming Steve Jobs biopic, Jobs.  It was announced in April that Ashton Kutcher will play Jobs, technological innovator and co-founder of Apple.  Modine will play Apple CEO John Sculley, who tapped Jobs to head Apple in 1983 and then fired him two years later.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s my feeling - and I think there&amp;#039;s a lot of people who feel - that had John Sculley not fired Steve Jobs from Apple Computer and [let] Steve go on the journey that he did when he was away from Apple Computer, that we wouldn&amp;#039;t be speaking about Steve Jobs today,&amp;quot; Modine told The Hollywood Reporter.  Another film about Steve Jobs is in development, currently being written by The Social Network scribe Aaron Sorkin, who compared writing about Jobs to &amp;quot;writing about the Beatles&amp;quot;.  Jobs is scheduled for a 2013 release.  Matthew Modine will next be seen as Deputy Commissioner Foley in The Dark Knight Rises.
