gizmo Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiAHlZVgXjk Looks pretty interesting. I'd see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbethan Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I might have read the script for this movie already. It might seem pretty good based on that. Seeing the trailer, one thing that irks me is something I've noticed in other baseball movies: the night games are too dark. They film those scenes at like 3 AM and they never use all of the stadium lights (probably to save money). I'm guessing it's more for dramatic effect. Also... how'd you manage to read the script? I'm a huge fan of Sorkin's, so I've been waiting for this for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 A friend of mine better connected with these things showed me two different copies of it. One was pre-Soderbergh and one post-Soderbergh. Neither has Sorkin's name on the cover, but the post-Soderbergh one seems to match the trailer pretty well. The film centers heavily on Beane, but a lot of attention is given to this "island of misfit toys" concept surrounding the players. Giambi's departure is a catalyst and then you see stuff like David Justice being considered the savior, Hatteberg being afraid to play first base, and Bradford being this super OCD guy with a weird delivery. This sounds good to me. I'm guessing the players are played by actors and not themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoFishGoMs628 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Looks excellent, may take the place of my favorite sports movie of all time, The Blind Side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side, watching Royce Clayton play Miguel Tejada should be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejandrasnow Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I am so excited for this film. I started reading moneyball awhile back ago but then my school workload became too much for me to continue reading it. I was really enjoying it before I had to put it down. I hope to finish it before this film comes out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babaru Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I'm also looking forward to this movie, it's been a while since a baseball movie has been out (at least a good one). But IMO, Billy Beane is not the bad ass genius this movie looks like it makes him out to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
