Moneyball Film Trailer

Columbia Pictures' Moneyball was just days away from the start of filming when production was halted. Director Steven Soderbergh exited the project, Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network) was called in to do a rewrite, and Bennett Miller (Capote) took over as director. Yet despite all the difficulties Brad Pitt stuck with project.

Based on the bestselling book by Michael Lewis, Moneyball examines Oakland A's General Manager Billy Beane's unique approach to building a major league baseball team. Pitt plays Beane, with Jonah Hill taking on the role of the assistant GM (loosely based on Paul DePodesta). Check out the trailer and see what you think:

Moneyball stars Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright Chris Pratt and Kathryn Morris, and will hits theaters on September 23, 2011.
