When Carrie Fisher discovered the journals she kept during the filming of the first
movie, she was astonished to see what they had preserved--plaintive love poems, unbridled musings with youthful naiveté, and a vulnerability that she barely recognized. Before her passing, her fame as an author, actress, and pop-culture icon was indisputable, but in 1977, Carrie Fisher was just a teenager with an all-consuming crush on her costar, Harrison Ford.
With these excerpts from her handwritten notebooks,
is Fisher's intimate and revealing recollection of what happened on one of the most famous film sets of all time--and what developed behind the scenes. Fisher also ponders the joys and insanity of celebrity, and the absurdity of a life spawned by Hollywood royalty, only to be surpassed by her own outer-space royalty. Laugh-out-loud hilarious and endlessly quotable,
brims with the candor and introspection of a diary while offering shrewd insight into one of Hollywood's most beloved stars.

影片将取材于沃特·艾萨克森撰写的乔布斯生前唯一授权的传记，本片将不同于传统传记电影，由三段故事组成。索尔金的剧本会聚焦乔布斯生前三件关键性产品的发布时刻——1984年第一台Mac电脑的问世、乔布斯离开苹果后创立的NeXT电脑公司和1998年苹果首次推出的iMac。
