Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill team up together to redefine baseball history in Moneyball.



The film focuses on the story of Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane’s successful attempt to put together a baseball club on a budget by employing computer-generated analysis to draft his players.

The film is based on a true story and is directed by Bennett Miller (Capote) and co-written by Aaron Sorkin.

I can tell you right now that the simple fact that Aaron Sorkin was involved in some small part means that I will be buying a ticket! I think the man does miracles with dialogue so I have high hopes already.

Let’s hope that the actual film lives up to the promise of the trailer.

Moneyball is due for a release in the US on September 23rd 2011.
