Thursday, June 16, 2011 at 3:18AM First Preview for Brad Pitt's Baseball on a Budget Movie 'Moneyball'
As a fan of Major League Baseball lore, the story of the Oakland Athletics penny pincher GM (general manager) Billy Beane was one that has always fascinated me. Needless to say I was over the moon when I heard the novel Moneyball was going to be adapted into a feature film, which would star Brad Pitt as the pioneer who built a championship contender through stastical analysis and without breaking the bank.
I'm excited to share the first preview of Moneyball courtesy of Entertainment Tonight, which provides a nice introduction to Beane's tenure with the team. Jonah Hill, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Robin Wright co-star in the film, while the script was written by the incredibly gifted Aaron Sorkin and Steven Zailian.
The trailer portion begins at the :48 second mark of the segment, as Brangelina news is the lead up to the preview. I've always had a bitter hatred for the A's since they're a division rival of my beloved Seattle Mariners, though I'm mature enough to put my animosity on hold to see Moneyball in theaters on September 23.
