Moneyball Movie Gets Another Chance Thanks to Aaron Sorkin
The Moneyball movie that got grounded by Sony just days before it was supposed to start shooting may yet make it to a big screen near you. Aaron Sorkin has been hired to rewrite the script for the film, which is based on Michael Lewis's nonfiction book.
The script has been the major point of contention: Sony halted production on the film because it didn't like some changes Steven Soderbergh — who was then signed on to direct the film — had made.
Weekend Reading: What the Heck Happened to That Brad Pitt Baseball Movie?
Last weekend, the entertainment industry was shocked when Sony pulled the plug on Steven Soderbergh's baseball movie that was going to star Brad Pitt — just days before the movie was supposed to start shooting.
Based on a bestseller by Michael Lewis, Moneyball was going to be a feature-length film about the true story of Oakland Athletics' general manager Billy Beane (Pitt) who put together a successful baseball team based on a new way of measuring a player's skill via stats. It might sound kind of dry, but having read both the book and an early, leaked version of the script, I can vouch for it being a compelling story.
