Is it Jerry Maguire meets the Natural??
Category: Trailers
This is going to be one of those HUGE American films for baseball fanatics that while Australians hardly understand the sport are such a sporting nation that we will fall in love with the passion of the film.
It's that battler guy with a different view who thinks outside the box and plans to change the world (of baseball). It will definitely be the feel good sporting film of the year and will draw a little tear no doubt. PLUS - it has Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in it - who isn't going to LOVE this. It covers three generations of acting genius and also covers comedy, commercial films and the art house crowd - I do believe it's casting genius.
Based on a true story, Moneyball is a movie for anybody who has ever dreamed of taking on the system. Brad Pitt stars as Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland A's and the guy who assembles the team, who has an epiphany: all of baseball's conventional wisdom is wrong. Forced to reinvent his team on a tight budget, Beane will have to outsmart the richer clubs. The onetime jock teams with Ivy League grad Peter Brand (Jonah Hill) in an unlikely partnership, recruiting bargain players that the scouts call flawed, but all of whom have an ability to get on base, score runs, and win games. It's more than baseball, it's a revolution - one that challenges old school traditions and puts Beane in the crosshairs of those who say he's tearing out the heart and soul of the game.
