Bennett Miller is in negotiations to direct Columbia’s “Moneyball,” the on-again, off-again baseball drama starring Brad Pitt as Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland A’s who rewrote the unwritten rulebook of baseball.
The move comes after Columbia, the actor and the producers — Michael De Luca, Scott Rudin and Rachael Horovitz — met with directors in recent weeks to get the movie back on track after pulling the plug on a Steven Soderbergh-directed iteration in June. The movie began its rehabilitation with when Aaron Sorkin was brought on to write a draft, drawing on Steve Zaillian’s earlier take.
The project is based upon the best-selling book by Michael Lewis. Stan Chervin wrote the first draft of the script.
Columbia’s Matt Tolmach and Jonathan Kadin are overseeing.
CAA-repped Miller is best known for directing “Capote,” starring Philip Seymour Hoffman. The movie earned Hoffman an Oscar and also netted a nomination for best picture.

Who feels that Moneyball is like beating a dead horse already?
If something in life goes this rocky, perhaps it’s not meant to be. ?
Thank you, yes I knew but due to my busy work schedule I just couldn’t find the time to update the website but they will be added today with some candids.
hey girls,
I dont know if you already know this, but Brad and Angie attended the premiere of Clint Eastwood’s new movie yesterday (dec 03rd) in L.A. and they brought Maddox with them. There are some pictures at their imdb`s profiles, I wish I knew computers better so that I could send the pics to you, but I’m terrible at this lol. So I decided to at least let you know (in case you still havent heard).
I hope you can post the pics here.
Take care,
Cecilia
