"Sony has asked me to write the movie and it's something I'm strongly considering," he told E! Online.
"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 added that he is currently reading Walter Isaacson's Jobs biography, which Sony acquired the movie rights to in a seven-figure deal.
"He was a great entrepreneur, he was a great artist, a great thinker," Sorkin said of Jobs. "He's probably inspired [my 11-year-old daughter] Roxy more than he's inspired me. She plays with all his toys."
George Clooney and his former ER co-star Noah Wyle, who portrayed Jobs in the 1999 TV movie Pirates of Silicon Valley, have both been rumoured for the big-screen look at the late Apple CEO's life.
