I got the biggest goosebumps watching this trailer, you have no idea! I have always loved baseball movies, I don’t know why – because I hate sports. The whole underdog coming out for the big win in the end kills me every time!
Add Brad Pitt to the mix – and hell yeah!
Entertainment Tonight got the first look at ‘Moneyball’ which stars Brad Pitt as Billy Beane, a baseball coach to uses a different method for finding players. Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Jonah Hill, Robin Wright, and Robin Wright also star.
Based on the 2003 New York Times Bestseller by Michael Lewis, ‘Moneyball’ has been in the works for quite some time. Unfortunately, it has hit a few snags along the way.
First the film was postponed three days before production was scheduled to begin. After that, Steven Soderbergh, who was originally supposed to direct the baseball flick, was dropped by Sony who apparently didn’t like the approach he was taking. Oscar winner Aaron Sorkin was then called in to rewrite the script, and eventually Bennett Miller (‘Capote’) was chosen to direct.
After all that, we still have hopes that the final product will turn out OK. Watch below for some footage of the film — it’s not much, but at least we get to see Pitt in action as he portrays Oakland A’s general manager, Billy Beane.
‘Moneyball’ is scheduled for a Sept. 23 release date.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated $500,000 to the Community Foundation of the Ozarks to help with cleanup following last month’s tornadoes in Missouri.
Brad is a native of Missouri, and at one point lived in Joplin! The couple were deeply touched by the natural disaster, and were moved to help. They both released a statement:
“With the devastating loss of thirty percent of the city, the Joplin community faces great challenges ahead. Having spent much of my childhood there, I know these people to be hardworking, humble and especially resilient. The locally based Community Foundation of the Ozarks will be working shoulder to shoulder with these Joplin residents for the long haul as they rebuild their lives. We, too, hope to further help with these rebuilding efforts.” – Brad
“Last year 42 million people worldwide were displaced by natural disasters. So often these disasters seem far away, but now the need is for thousands of people displaced right here at home. Our hearts go out to the families in Joplin who have lost so much.” – Angelina
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie stepped out yesterday afternoon for a day of shopping. They stopped by Ozzie Dots, which is a party supply store. Maybe they’re buying party favors for Shiloh’s birthday? Their daughter turns 5 on Friday!
The last couple dresses that Angelina Jolie has worn at Cannes I have not been a huge fan of. But this gown I love! It’s simple, and fits her body beautifully!
Angelina didn’t make the Tuesday premiere of her new movie ‘Kung Fu Panda 2′ in NYC, where Jack Black and Lucy Liu had to walk the red carpet without her.
Why did she miss the premiere? The 35-year-old actress opted instead to support her partner, Brad Pitt, in Los Angeles.
Smooth-faced and dapper in a Tom Ford suit, Pitt, 47, hit the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) for the premiere of his film The Tree of Life, which just won the top prize at the Cannes Film Fest.
Jolie was at Pitt’s side in a jaw-dropping new look: a diaphonous, bright red one-shoulder gown by Jenny Packham, accented with Tiffany jewelry and Stuart Weitzman heels.
The duo caused such pandemonium upon their arrival that Pitt’s costar, Jessica Chastain, halted her interviews because of the overcrowded red carpet.
Will Pitt and Jolie’s six kids become actors like their world-famous parents?
“Listen, I just want them to do whatever they want,” Pitt told reporters. “To follow their bliss, whatever makes them happy!”
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie leave the premiere of “Kung Fu Panda 2″ with their four children Maddox Chivan, Zahara Marley, Shiloh Nouvel and Pax Thien in the midst of a swarm of fans in Los Angeles.
Director Terrence Malick’s movie, ‘Tree of Life’ won the Cannes Film Festival’s top honor on Sunday. The Palme d’Or award was handed out for the film starring Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and Jessica Chastain. The movie winning the top award may come as a surprise to some, considering the movie received mixed reactions at the premiere.
