Last month the studio put the project into limited turnaround just before it was scheduled to begin shooting due to director Steven Soderbergh's newest version of the script taking on a more documentary style approach to the material. A change that studio chief Amy Pascal felt would hurt the film's commercial chances.
Sorkin's changes are expected to bring the project back to the style the studio favored all along-- a straight film narrative.
Brad Pitt is still attached to star but Soderbergh will no longer direct this adaptation of the Michael Lewis nonfiction book.
Sorkin will finish his work by next month, no new production dates were given.
Play ball indeed!
