Four New ‘Moneyball’ Clips – Starring Brad Pitt, Phillip Seymour Hoffman & Jonah Hill

Columbia Pictures have let out the hatch these four new clips from ‘Moneyball.’ The film stars Brad Pitt as Billy Beane, the general manager of Oakland Athletics and follows his attempt to create a competitive team despite Oakland’s unfavourable financial situation. ‘Moneyball’ is based on the highly acclaimed 2003 book of the same name by Michael M. Lewis. Alongside Brad Pitt the film stars Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Art Howe, manager of the A’s, Jonah Hill, as Peter Brand, Beane’s assistant general manager, Robin Wright, Stephen Bishop, Kathryn Morris, and Chris Pratt. Bennett Miller (Capote) directs the movie from a script by Aaron Sorkin and Steven Zaillian. ‘Moneyball’ is released in cinemas September 23rd in the US, and November 4th in the UK.

Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland A’s and the guy who assembles the team, who has an epiphany: all of baseball’s conventional wisdom is wrong. Forced to reinvent his team on a tight budget, Beane will have to outsmart the richer clubs. The onetime jock teams with Ivy League grad Peter Brand in an unlikely partnership, recruiting bargain players that the scouts call flawed, but all of whom have an ability to get on base, score runs, and win games. It’s more than baseball, it’s a revolution — one that challenges old school traditions and puts Beane in the crosshairs of those who say he’s tearing out the heart and soul of the game.
