Moneyball Reviews, Interviews & More
2011 was the year of the indie. The majority of adaptations and blockbusters all fell completely flat, and numerous big studio dramas were missing that something special. Normally I'm one to say that every year is a great year, but this is no There Will be Blood Vs. No Country for Old Men, or even Moon Vs. Inglourious Bastards. That being said, the end of...
The 69th annual Golden Globes nominees have been announced, and this year they're big on definite articles. The Help, The Artist and The Descendents lead the pack of nominees. Which is interesting because - if the Globes have a weakness - it's that they chase the famous names, and these noms aren't that celeb-heavy....
When the most anticipated movie of the weekend wasn't reviewed for critics as is barely expected to crack ten million, yeah, we're in the dog days. Dream House - which wasn't screened for critics - could lead the pack of new films, and The Lion King looks to end its two week run at the top of the charts, which means we may see Dolphin...

Last weekend The Lion King dominated the box office. Blame a sleepy September for a reissue throttling the marketplace, and parents who were happy to take their kids to see a film they grew up on (how's that for a circle of life?) The question with reissues is always if it's going to behave like a special event and evaporate quickly, or if it...
The team is starting to fill out for the little engine that could known as Moneyball.

After multiple director changes and actor replacements, we're shocked that Moneyball is still a developing production. Now that helmer Bennett Miller has taken over, the film's future is looking a lot more promising. Variety reports that Miller is in talks with the extremely talented Philip Seymour Hoffman and Robin Wright to join the...
At this point, is Moneyball nothing but a shadow of its former self? Last year we heard so much about the Steven Soderbergh-Brad Pitt collaboration before it hit the skids after the director jumped ship. Pitt supposedly stayed on board and Capote director Bennett Miller was brought in to direct. Aaron Sorkin was hired to...
The career of 500 Days of Summer director Marc Webb has been given a major boost since the release of the indie hit this past summer, and now there's an even bigger film on the horizon. According to a report from THR, Webb may be in line to replace Steven Soderbergh on the developing drama, Moneyball.
So what ever happened to Steven Soderbergh’s planned adaptation of the Michael Lewis book Moneyball which was supposed to be written by Aaron Sorkin and star Brad Pitt as Billy Beane, the Oakland A’s manager who used non-traditional statistical systems to build the cheapest winning baseball team alongside Demetri Martin? It got inexplicably canceled a couple of...
Columbia has replaced Steven Soderbergh with Aaron Sorkin to write Moneyball. Production was set to start in June with Soderbergh, but was later cancelled after Amy Pascal and other executives felt the script was different than what they signed on for, reports THR.
