PMJackson21 0 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 http://www.variety.com/VR1117994175.htmlRegrettably, I have never read Moneyball, so maybe someone who has can tell me - is this really a book that would transfer well to the big screen? Who would Brad Pitt play, Billy Beane? Who will portray Paul Depodesta, Fred Savage? Link to post Share on other sites
Moneyball16 0 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I dont think it would translate well but I would still watch it. And Hayden Christianson as DePo?????And yeah they were offering the part of Billy to Brad Pitt. Link to post Share on other sites

Flushgarden 0 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Who will play Kevin Youkilis? He was dubbed "The Greek God of walks" in this book while he was still in the minors. Link to post Share on other sites

SuitedAces21 2,741 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 no freaking way this should happen. Link to post Share on other sites
Moneyball16 0 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Demetri Martin was cast as DePo. http://www.variety.com/article/VR111800262...yid=13&cs=1Seems like weird casting to me but who knows. Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 97 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 This could be a good movie.......if they based it on Larry Beinfast and the Marlins.Has Billy Beane actually won anything? Link to post Share on other sites
AmScray 354 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Moneyball was a good book, could probably make an OK picture.One movie that must- MUST- be made into a movie is "Prophet of the Sandlots" about scout Tony Lucadello. It's an "academy award type story" with the added bonus of having the built-in draw of being a baseball movie. Link to post Share on other sites
