Matthew Modine–hot right now in the upcoming “Dark Knight Rises”– just got cast in the new Steve Jobs movie. This is the one starring Ashton Kutcher. Modine will play John Sculley, one of the founders of Apple. Sculley was president of the company from 1983 to 1993 was responsible for their many early successes. A falling out with Steve Jobs caused him to be ousted in 1993. Pictured below: Modine in an Apple shirt made for him by a friend. And Sculley in the real thing.
