MONEYBALL New Trailer

Columbia Pictures has unleashed this new trailer for MONEYBALL, starring Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman. It’s got some new footage that I admit is kinda funny and finally Hoffman gets a line, he’s the Oscar winner here but it’s weird seeing him take the back seat to Pitt and Hill…

Based on the book by Michael Lewis, order the book today at Amazon, here is its official synopsis…

“The Oakland Athletics have a secret: a winning baseball team is made, not bought.In major league baseball the biggest wallet is supposed to win: rich teams spend four times as much on talent as poor teams. But over the past four years, the Oakland Athletics, a major league team with a minor league payroll, have had one of the best records. Last year their superstar, Jason Giambi, went to the superrich Yankees. It hasn’t made any difference to Oakland: their fabulous season included an American League record for consecutive victories. Billy Beane, general manager of the Athletics, is putting into practice on the field revolutionary principles garnered from geek statisticians and college professors.”

MONEYBALL opens September 23rd, 2011
