Moneyball: First Look at a Sports Game-Changer

Billy Beane changed baseball management with the Oakland Athletics, and there’s a movie to boot following the bestselling book by Michael Lewis. The adaption stars Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill with a script by Aaron Sorkin and Steven Zaillian. Pretty good pedigrees with a little comic foil.

Not sure if this will be The Blind Side meets baseball, but it has critical success and audience sleeper potential (“sleeper”s a good Hollywood word for non-tentpole movies that perform over a long period, like Blind Side, fyi). Love the Jonah Hill line about the undervalued players being like “an island of misfit toys.” Everyday extraordinary.
