Brad Pitt takes pay cut to ensure Moneyball goes up to bat

Posted by: Nathan Swank

Finally, the baseball drama MONEYBALL is making more headway. As reported back in December, the film had received Bennett Miller as a replacement director for Steven Soderbergh. We now have information that Columbia Pictures is locking in a July start date after the film�s budget was cut down from an estimated $60 million to a near $47 million. Among those chipping in for the pay cut is Brad Pitt who will take a considerable drop in payment. Pitt must feel passionately about the project to give up his A-lister rights. But we all know this is not unusual for Angelia Jolie�s equally attractive half, he is a giver. But I suspect he will get a bit more of the back-end success of the film. Wow, looks, passion, humility and smarts to boot. I�m sorry, I get all flustered when talking about Mr. Pitt- it�s very confusing.

The book Moneyball was written by Michael Lewis and Aaron Sorkin penned the latest script rewrite. The film is about Oakland A�s general manager Billy Beane. He went from hurting his playing career by signing for the money to turning things around by becoming a baseball executive who could win games with a fraction of the payroll. Hmmm, possibly a bit of a parallel with the making of the film.
