The director is in talks to cast Brad Pitt in Moneyball, a sports film centering on the real-life Oakland Athletics' general manager who used a computer analysis program to draft a playoff-caliber team.
A famous news magazine has brought out the report that Soderbergh has entered into early talks to helm the flick after Marley & Me auteur David Frankel parted ways with the film.
The movie is adapted from Michael Lewis' bestselling Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, which chronicled Oakland A's G.M. Billy Beane's successful venture into computer-assisted recruiting.
Brad Pitt has recently finished up work on Quentin Tarantino's World War II epic, Inglourious Basterds. |
