Bennett Miller on deck for MONEYBALL
Capote director Bennett Miller is in talks for his second feature film project, coming in to relieve Steven Soderbergh on Moneyball. Brad Pitt is still on board in the starring role.
Moneyball is based on Michael Lewis’ nonfiction book about the Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane, who put together a competitive franchise on a shoestring budget.
The film made headlines earlier in the year when Columbia Pictures abruptly halted the project just days before the film was set to lens. About a month later, Aaron Sorkin was brought in to put a polish on Steven Zaillian’s script.
