    I have a hard time understanding how they're going to turn this into a decently entertaining movie...

    Re: Moneyball: The Movie?

    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!

    Maybe they will hollywood it up a little.

    Billy will overcome his father's heroin addiction and his brother's death in the first gulf war through baseball...but forever he will be haunted by his past. Not even Sabre stats can save him from alcoholism can Billy pull through?

    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.
