Brad Pitt's baseball drama Moneyball scores a trailer

*The first trailer for _Moneyball_, the real-life baseball drama
starring Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, has landed online.*

If the words 'real-life baseball drama' have got you heading for the
door already, stop and give this a chance, as it looks like a pretty
unique spin on a well-worn genre.

Brad Pitt stars as Billy Beane, the manager of Oakland Athletics. He's
struggling to put together a decent team on an extremely limited
budget, until he meets office worker Peter Brand (Hill), who convinces
him to run the team in a totally new way.

Their method eschews traditional tactics in favour of closely
analysing statistics to organise the best possible team from a meagre
bunch of players. Beane faces adversity from his superiors, until it
starts to look like his mad method could just shake up the game.

When you look at the talent involved, it's hard to believe that
_Moneyball_ almost didn't get made.

After a troubled production, the film gained Bennett Miller (_Capote_)
as a director, and Aaron Sorkin gave Steve Zaillian's script a polish.
Philip Seymour Hoffman and Robin Wright co-star.

Here's that trailer:

_Moneyball_ is set to open on 4 November 2011.
