Moneyball Gets Second Chance
Just when we thought it was all over for Moneyball, The West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin is taking a swing at the movie's script, which is based on Michael Lewis’s book about the Oakland A’s. Rumors have surrounded the movie since its conception last year. Studio execs reportedly scrapped the film just days before production was set to begin last month after a script turned in by Steven Soderbergh was deemed too different from Lewis's book. Things are apparently back on track: Sorkin could turn in his adaptation of the best-selling book, which will draw from the script already written by Steve Zaillian, as soon as next month. Brad Pitt remains on board to star in Moneyball as A’s General Manager Billy Beane.

I used to trash "West Wing" as unwatchable liberal crap. Then I actually watched an episode.....
I miss you West Wing :(
Nothing anymore picked up by antenna is at all intelligent anymore.
"I finally get Aaron Sorkin's cult television show Sports Night; It's a Comedy, that's Too Good to be funny."
I wouldn't care if perez hilton and sarah palin were casted in this movie. if aaron sorkin is writing, I'm going.
I think it will be great with Aaron Sorkin directing it, the premise of this book does seem to boring and one demensional for a movie, but Aaron Sorkin is the man. I do not even think of him as a director but he did do A Few Good Men, which could have been real boring, but Aaron Sorkin is a true story teller (especiallt when it comes to dialogue) he should definitly make more movies.
If you can find it, watch Studio 60: Live on the Sunset Strip, another Aaron Sorkin creation. It's hard to find more gripping television. Sorkin is the master of creating compelling, complex characters that one grows to love in just a few episodes.

the entire sole season of S60 is all on hulu, on itunes, and on DVD
Anything Sorkin touches is gold. I have been a West Wing,Sports Night fan forever...the dialogue is smart - the relationships he develops between his actors and audience is intense and loyal. I can watch and re-watch those shows now and they are still masterful. I seperate the "men from the boys" by those who are Sorkin fans. Count my, and my money in...I'll be at this movie if Sorkin does it!
Thank you.
