What is Moneyball?
Moneyball is a 2011 American biographical sports drama film directed by Bennett Miller and adapted by Steven Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin. It stars Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright and Chris Pratt. The film is based on the 2003 book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis, an account of the Oakland Athletics baseball team's 2002 season and their general manager Billy Beane's attempts to assemble a competitive team with half (or even a third) as much money as his rivals. Moneyball follows Beane and his deputy Peter Brand as they scout the major leagues for undervalued talent using a sophisticated sabermetric approach, triggering skepticism and resentment within the baseball community.
Columbia Pictures bought the rights to Lewis's book in 2004, hiring Stan Chervin to write the screenplay. David Frankel was initially set to direct, with Zaillian later working on the script, but he was soon replaced by Steven Soderbergh. Soderbergh planned to make the film in a semi-documentary style featuring interviews with real athletes, and having actual players and coaches portray themselves. However, before its July 2009 filming start, the project was put into turnaround due to creative differences between Soderbergh and Sony over a last-minute script rewrite. Soderbergh exited, and Bennett Miller was hired to direct, with Pitt becoming a producer and Aaron Sorkin brought in for rewrites. Filming began in July 2010 at various stadiums, including Dodger Stadium and the Oakland Coliseum.
The film premiered at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival and was released on September 23, 2011, to box office success and critical acclaim, particularly for its acting and screenplay. It received numerous accolades, including six Academy Award nominations such as Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor for Pitt and Best Supporting Actor for Hill.
