I'm not remotely religious but you do realize that Jesus Christ was an actual person, right? The Roman Empire was one of the most meticulous administrative bureaucracies of all time with record keeping astonishing for its day (Nazi Germany was similar in this regard). The birth, death, and major events in the life of the man Jesus Christ are documented, amply, in original source material. To be clear, I am not saying he rose from the dead. I am simply saying that he was born and ultimately crucified under Pontius Pilate. Real people. Real events. Non fiction.
It's a classic three act structure, and don't worry - Sorkin is brilliant and his best work IMO is when the dialog gets frenzied and fast paced. He will have plenty of opportunity to cram a **** ton into this structure.
My first reaction too, though the iPod was what really put apple - and Jobs - back on the map. The original iMac gave apple life and a bit of breathing room, but by itself would never have been a long term game changer. The iPod changed everything for apple, jobs, and the music industry. By many meausres Jobs and Apple were already "on top of the world" when the iPhone was introduced.
See above. Sorkin is a master. He can do it and do it well.
Btw I produce films for a living.
