Bennett Miller is set to helm the Brad Pitt-led baseball film Moneyball says Variety.Based on the Michael Lewis nonfiction bestseller, the story follows Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane who assembled a contending baseball club on a shoestring budget by employing a sophisticated computer-based analysis to draft players.
Steven Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin wrote the script based on an earlier draft by Stan Chervin.
Steven Soderbergh was due to direct the film but left the project five days before it was set to start shooting due to Sony Pictures being unhappy with his script rewrites.
