After months of anticipation, “jOBS,” the independent biopic starring Ashton Kutcher, will premier at the Sundance Film Festival this week and launch in theaters April 19.

As previously reported on Wall Street Insanity, “jOBS” chronicles the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs life “from wayward hippie to co-founder of Apple.” Covering 30 years of Jobs’ life, the action starts in 1976 when he and Steve Wozniak, portrayed by “Book of Mormon’s Josh Gad in the film, founded Apple, and continues to late 1990s when Jobs returned to the company after being forced out.

The first clip has finally been released, giving viewers a taste of what to expect from Kutcher and Gad in the film.

Open Road Films and Five Star Feature Films, which together distribute the film, released the following synopsis of the film earlier this month:

Directed by Joshua Michael Stern, written by Matthew Whitely, shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Russell Carpenter and produced by Mark Hulme, jOBS details the major moments and defining characters that influenced Steve Jobs on a daily basis from 1971 through 2000. jOBS plunges into the depths of his character, creating an intense dialogue-driven story that is as much a sweeping epic as it is an immensely personal portrait of Steve Jobs’ life. The filmmakers were granted unprecedented access during shooting to the historic garage in Palo Alto, that served as the birthplace to Apple Inc.
