The ‘Moneyball’ movie trailer has arrived!  Featuring Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, the trailer looks pretty promising.  The 2 minute or so teaser kicks off with a silly feel to it.  Almost like your watching a little Danny Devito and Arnold back together again, but before you know it the first look turns serious, somewhere along the lines of Friday Night Lights.

With Pitt in the role of  a down and out Oakland A’s Billy Beane, and Jonah Hill something of a savior, Moneyball has the potential to be a decent sports movie based on real events.  Definitely something I can get behind!  Moneyball is a film adapted from Blind Side author Michael Lewis.  Check out the official first trailer, with a synopsis by way of Rope of Silicon, below and tell us what you think?

“Based on a true story, Moneyball is a movie for anybody who has ever dreamed of taking on the system. Brad Pitt stars as 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 (Jonah Hill) 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.”
