Baseball flick MONEYBALL, starring Brad Pitt, has found its new head coach in Oscar-nominated director Bennett Miller.
Miller, whose last work was CAPOTE in 2006, will helm the story written by powerhouse scriptwriters Steve Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin (based on Michael Lewis’s best-selling book) about “Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane, who defied conventional wisdom and even his own scouts by fielding a baseball team of castoffs to create the ultimate underdogs en route to one of the most unlikely winning streaks in the history of professional sports.”
MONEYBALL had originally been a Steven Soderbergh project, but the director got yanked off the film just days before principal shooting was set to begin due to rewrites the director had made. Shame.
