<p>Ashton Kutcher has found his nemesis. <em>Entertainment Weekly</em>'s <a href="http://insidemovies.ew.com/2012/06/05/casting-net-matthew-modine-jobs/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+entertainmentweekly%2Flatest-blog-news+Entertainment+Weekly%2FEW.coms%3A+Latest+Blog+News">Inside Movies blog</a> is reporting that Matthew Modine will play John Sculley in upcoming Steve Jobs biopic called <em>jOBS</em>. As Jobsian scholars will recall, Mr. Sculley was the former Pepsi CEO personally recruited by Jobs in 1983 <a href="http://www.pbs.org/nerds/part3.html">with the pitch</a>, "Do you want to sell sugared water for the rest of your life? Or do you want to come with me and change the world?" <em>Um, door number 2? </em></p>
<p>Jobs resigned after clashing with Sculley, who was forced out in 1993--a move we imagine will be accompanied by a triumphant classical score. <!--more--></p>
<p><em>jOBS </em>is supposed to start filming soon--well ahead of Aaron Sorkin's Steve Jobs biopic, which will be based in part on Walter Isaacson's Jobs-approved tome.</p>
<p>The dueling films means Mr. Jobs will join an elite club of Steve Prefontaine, Truman Capote, and Marilyn Monroe, who also got the big screen treatment twice in a row. Could Zuck be next? Maybe a post-IPO rags-to-riches story about a poor, maligned billionaire who grows up to become <a href="http://betabeat.com/2012/05/robin-sloans-intergalactic-facebook-offering-is-our-favorite-part-of-ipo-day/">Lord Zuck of Menlo Prime</a>.</p>
