"Sony has asked me to write the movie and it's something I'm strongly considering," Sorkin tells E!.
"Right now I'm just in the thinking-about-it stages. It's a really big movie and it's going to be a great movie no matter who writes it."

Sorkin and Jobs had a mutual admiration for each other and, after the innovator's passing, the filmmaker revealed Jobs had once asked him to write a Pixar movie.
