So the story doesn't sound all that intriguing, but then again neither did The Social Network, and look how that turned out. Moneyball stars Brad Pitt as Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane, who used a complicated and revolutionary sabermetrics system(nerd alert!!!) to piece together a championship squad when nobody expected it to work. Jonah Hill co-stars, but the real pedigree is behind the camera. Oscar nominated director Bennett Miller(Capote
) directed, with a script co-credited to Steve Zaillian(Schindler's List
) and Aaron Sorkin(The Social Network
). Moneyball hits theaters on September 23rd, with Oscar hopes I'm sure to follow...
