I have a hard time understanding how they're going to turn this into a decently entertaining movie...
It probably would be a documentary
It would have to be
Imagine it as a drama;Quote:

I think it will be a musical. I have a preliminary list of some of the songs.
"UC San Diego" by Billy Beane and Chorus
"First Round Draft Pick" by Billy Beane
"Benched" by Billy Beane and Teammates and Manager
"A Career Over" by Billy Beane
"I Am GM" by Billy Beane
"Sabermetrician" by Billy Beane and Bill James
"All These Damn Sabermetricians" by Joe Morgan, Tim McCarver, Steve Phillips, and John Kruk
"We Made the Playoffs" By Billy Beane and the Oakland A's
That's just act 1... wait until you see act 2! :D
Act 2Quote:

"Viva la Swisher!" Billy and Jesus
Documentaries don't usually have actors....Quote:

So Brad Pitt would be playing Billy Beane?
This is about the dumbest concept for a Hollywood movie I've seen since hearing that THIS children's book is apparently going to be turned in to one.
LOL awesome, I wonder who will be starring in that one.
Probably Tom Cruise
Can't they just re show Major League ??Quote:
