Columbia is calling up Aaron Sorkin to attempt to write a "Moneyball" script. The writer has been brought on to do a draft of the baseball drama that will draw on Steve Zallian's earlier take on the project. The studio wants to move forward quickly with the new iteration, with Sorkin set to turn in his version as soon as August. Brad Pitt remains on board to star in the Michael DeLuca-produced pic, but Steven Soderbergh will no longer write or direct, and is not involved in the film in any capacity. "Moneyball," based on Michael Lewis' best-seller about the Oakland A's and their new approach to evaluating talent, was set to go into production in June with Soderbergh behind the camera. |
