Brad Pitt is adding to his busy schedule by playing ball for Columbia.

Steve Zaillian has signed on to adapt Michael Lewis’ nonfiction bestseller "Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game," and David Frankel is attached to direct. Project is being developed as a potential starring vehicle for Brad Pitt.

Book’s subject is Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane, who assembled a contending baseball club on a shoestring budget by employing a sophisticated computer-based analysis to draft players.

Michael De Luca is producing alongside Rachael Horovitz.

Stan Chervin penned an earlier draft based of the book, which Sony optioned in 2004. "Moneyball" was first published by W. W. Norton in 2003.

Zaillian last teamed with the studio on "All the King’s Men," which he wrote, directed and produced. His recent screenplay credits include "American Gangster" and "Gangs of New York."

Frankel, who directed Fox 2000’s "The Devil Wears Prada," most recently helmed the Owen Wilson-Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy "Marley & Me," also for Fox 2000. That film opens Christmas Day.
Columbia pitches 'Moneyball' to Pitt - Entertainment News, Film News, Media - Variety

Wooh, thank god they got "The Devil Wears Prada" director, I was really worried there for awhile. Hopefully Meryl Streep will play Jeremy Brown, she's such a *****.

May I suggest dumbass Joey from Friends as Paul DePodesta. After all, Joey should know all about riding the gravy train long enough to run his own show in L.A. from 2004 to 2006.


Counting down to: The end of Andruw Jones's contract with the Dodgers:

n = [log (($17 million amount deferred x .02754 interest daily periodic rate)/30 days in cycle) - log ($5 million base x .02514 interest nominal periodic rate/162 games prorated in cycle)]/log (1+i)
