After writing two movies on game-changers and radical thinkers, Aaron Sorkin may be pegged to write the screenplay for the Steve Jobs biopic.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the "Social Network" screenwriter is one of the top choices for adapting the late Apple co-founder's just-released biography by Walter Isaacson.

A visionary, Steve Jobs is one of the people responsible for conception of Apple and the success it enjoys today.

Sony bought the film rights for the book shortly after the death of Jobs, and made the project a high priority, according to Huffington Post.

Sorkin seems to be the most logical choice in writing the high profile biopic, with his recent movie adaptations of bestselling books.

The Oscar winner took home the golden statue for his screenplay for David Fincher's "The Social Network," describing the founding of Facebook by Mark Zuckerberg, played by Jesse Eisenberg. The screenplay was based on the book "The Accidental Billionaires" by Ben Mezrich.

"The Social Network" also starred Justin Timberlake and Andrew Garfield.

Sorkin is also one of the minds behind "Moneyball," a biographical sports drama that shows a general manager's attempt in creating a highly competitive team despite the disadvantage in revenue. Together with his economic major assistant manager, they apply a "sabermetric" approach in team-building.

Brad Pitt plays the GM Billy Beane alongside Jonah Hill as Peter Brand, a young Yale economics graduate. The screenplay is based on the Michael Lewis book "Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game."

It is quite new for Hollywood to be creating a biopic of someone who has just died, thus creating a challenge for any writer.

But Sorkin, who knew Jobs, is undaunted. The tech visionary once asked Sorkin to pen a Pixar movie, which he declined.

"I can't make inanimate objects talk," said Sorkin in a phone call with Steve Jobs, offering him to write a movie, as reported by The Daily Beast.

Writing a movie about the man behind Pixar can, however, serve as a tribute to one great man.
