Hello all, first of all a big thank you to Sue for her generous donation, this is so welcome! Thank you!

Some more pages were converted to the new website design. The whole Projects section is back up (which took a while). Also be sure to check out SB.com where you will find all the information about the website, including the network sites (that can also be found if you scroll down). The calendar (on your right) with upcoming events has also been updated.

If you’ve any questions/suggestions for the website’s content, please be sure to email me.

Columbia Pictures and director Steven Soderbergh have set Demetri Martin to star alongside Brad Pitt in “Moneyball,” the adaptation of the Michael Lewis book about ballplayer-turned-Oakland Athletics g.m. Billy Beane and his attempt to field a competitive team on a slim payroll.

Also joining the roster is a group of actual baseball players: former Oakland A’s team members David Justice and Scott Hatteberg have signed on to play themselves in the picture, while Daryl Strawberry and Lenny Dykstra are among those who will be seen on camera being interviewed about their experiences with Beane when he was a phenom drafted by the New York Mets before flaming out and becoming a baseball scout. Shooting begins in June.

Martin will play Paul De Podesta, a Harvard grad who turned down Wall Street jobs to use his statistical skills to change baseball scouting tactics. His system, known as “Earned Run Value,” allowed Beane to evaluate valuable players he could hire at low cost. Read more. Thanks Intothegrinder.

I’m working hard on adding back the content to the main site. I just finished converting all the subpages of the Brad section. Some ‘superficial’ pages have been deleted, and some informative new pages have been added like: Pets, Favorite Music and Photography. Many have been updated but I know lots of info is still missing, I’m only one person with a lot of work. A big thanks to Alero for once again updating the Biography page, this is a lot of work and I very much appreciate your help and dedication, thank you!

Added some great photos made and sent in by Julia at the NY Changeling premiere (10/04/08). Thanks so much for sharing them with us!

A new clip from Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds aired last night during American Idol, but there was an extended clip that didn’t play because it was too hot for TV. This clip has showed up online and I added it to BP Media. Click the links below as I also made some screencaps. Brad looks great, which surprises me (cause of the stache). What do you all think after seeing this clip? Thanks Sandra and Gabriella!

Richard Jenkins has signed to star opposite Julia Roberts in “Eat, Pray, Love” for Columbia Pictures. Film, which will be helmed by Ryan Murphy, had been set up at Paramount Pictures but was put in turnaround earlier this year. Based on the international bestseller by Elizabeth Gilbert, story centers on a married woman who embarks on a journey of self-discovery after trying to get pregnant and realizing that she’s not living the life she wants. Murphy adapted the screenplay. Jenkins will play a Texan whom Roberts’ character befriends at an Indian ashram. Brad Pitt and Dede Gardner are producing through their Plan B shingle. Lensing begins in July and will take place in New York, Rome, India and Bali. Source. Thanks Sandra.
