Hello everyone, no new updates cause there is nothing really to update about. I’ve added the latest Moneyball on set pics over the past two weeks. Taken from several sources, credit to all owners. Gosh Brad looks so young and awesome!
I was contacted by the journalist photographer Quinn Bender who would like to share his ‘artsy’ photography with you as he has been able to take a couple photos of Brad (and Angelina) during the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. With full credit to Quinn Bender Photography. Be sure to check out his fab website. Thanks for sharing these photos with the fans, Quinn.
Five hours of waiting, being herded like cattle, and occasionally cheering at a fake baseball game was getting old.
Scores of “Moneyball” extras at the Oakland Coliseum were chilled, fatigued and skeptical about the promise of Hollywood glamour, not to mention irritated about Chex Mix qualifying as “snacks.”
Then he appeared.
At first he resembled another film production guy, walking from the third-base dugout Tuesday toward a group trying to set up a shot of a game that took place eight years ago. The man in the gray pullover, beige pants and wool hat turned to the crowd, displaying the profile that has launched a million tabloids. A woman screamed. Idle chatter vanished.
Someone dropped a cup of Chex Mix.
The Talent had arrived.
While Brad Pitt nonchalantly strolled toward the production crew about 9:30 p.m., the cameras people were forbidden to bring emerged. A couple of hurried, official-looking men moved through the stands, firmly reminding the seated extras that pictures were a no-no.

Kathryn Morris (“Cold Case”) is in negotiations to star in Columbia Pictures’ baseball drama Moneyball, reports Risky Business.
She’s joining a cast that includes Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright and Stephen Bishop. Bennett Miller will direct the adaptation of Michael Lewis’ nonfiction bestseller “Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game.”
The book’s subject is Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane (Pitt), who assembled a contending baseball club on a shoestring budget by employing a sophisticated computer-based analysis to draft players.
Morris will play the second wife of Beane.

A movie based on Michael Lewis’ best-selling book “Moneyball,” which was derailed after Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh left the project last summer, is heading full steam toward the Coliseum with a new director and a new script.
One constant: Brad Pitt still will star as Billy Beane in the story of how the A’s general manager built winning teams with small-market payrolls, with the 2002 season as a backdrop.
Filming at the ballpark begins July 26 and runs through Aug. 5. Many of the stadium and clubhouse personnel will be taking part in the production.
Soderbergh’s version called for “Moneyball” figures such as Art Howe to portray themselves, with the baseball scenes filmed primarily at spring-training sites in Arizona, as well as at the Coliseum. The new version, written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by Bennett Miller (“Capote”), is taking another tact: Actors will rule the day (with Oscar-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman as Howe). The cast also includes Jonah Hill and Robin Wright.
