The trailer for the Steve Jobs biopic starring Ashton Kutcher as the Apple guru has been released. In addition, its official movie poster has also been unveiled.

"Jobs" first premiered at the Sundance film festival last January to mixed reviews. Some critics reviewed the movie as "made for TV" and "entertaining but flawed".

Steve Wozniak, Apple’s co-founder, has a little reservation about the film. He thinks that Jobs, who died in 2011, might be portrayed in the film as a saint.

“I have a little bug in me that says that this movie will portray Steve as a saint who was ignored, rather than one of the key people who led Apple through failure after failure,” he said in an interview with Gizmodo.

"We truly could have used the later Jobs in earlier years at Apple, is what I feel.” Josh Gad plays Wozniak in the film.

The movie chronicles Steve Job's early years from a university drop out and starting up Apple in a garage with Wozniak to booting Jobs out of the full-fledged company and finally his return to rescue Apple from bankruptcy in 1998.

Kutcher surprised the public last year when a photo of him dressed as Jobs alongside an original photo of the young Jobs was released. There was an uncanny resemblance between the two.

According to Kutcher, playing the character changed him as a person and his life.

"Jobs" will be released in the U.S. on August 16. Australian release date has yet to be announced.
