Moneyball starring Brad Pitt as Billy Beane

[UMFan83]

Will anyone be able to see this? Will it be available in parents' basements for the target audience?

 

Nah... The target audience won't actually watch the movie. They'll just look at the ticket sales and revenue stats to decide whether it's a good movie.

 

\:D/

 

It's a good point. This doesn't seem like real good material for a movie. The people who are interested in this want detail, as in the text that actually describes how Beane conducted his business. And that's already available at your local Barnes & Noble. Beyond that, it's just seeing if Pitt can portray an interesting character. Worth the price of a movie ticket? For me, nah.

 

Eh, the trailer makes it seem like it will appeal to the masses. The story seems like its going to be cash strapped club hires Beane for job, Beane struggling to compete with no funds, wiz kid boldly tells him what hes doing wrong using stats, beane takes a liking to him, making him his right hand man, buys into everything he says and tries winning with his method, team struggles at first, causing fans to turn on him and want him fired, eventually they turn it around and start winning...happy ending just before he has to trade mulder and hudson.

I got really excited when I saw the trailer in theaters because I was sure I was the only person who knew the story.

So sexy...

Where are all the snarky comments about Beane and sabermetrics? Does this place not have a rigid anti-Beane contingent that trolls every thread about him?
