2011 film by Bennett Miller
Moneyball
is a 2011 American
biographical
sports drama film
that was directed by
Bennett Miller
with a script by
Steven Zaillian
and
Aaron Sorkin
from a story by
Stan Chervin
. The film is based on the 2003 nonfiction book,
Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game
by
Michael Lewis
. The book is an account of the
Oakland Athletics
baseball
team's
2002 season
and their general manager
Billy Beane
's attempts to assemble a competitive team. In the film, Beane (
Brad Pitt
) and assistant general manager
Peter Brand
(
Jonah Hill
), faced with the franchise's limited budget for players, build a team of undervalued talent by taking a sophisticated
sabermetric
approach to
scouting
and analyzing players.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
also stars as
Art Howe
.
Columbia Pictures
bought the rights to Lewis's book in 2004, hiring Chervin to write the screenplay.
David Frankel
was initially set to direct with Zaillian now writing the screenplay, but was soon replaced by
Steven Soderbergh
, who planned to make the film in a semi-documentary style featuring interviews from real athletes, and having the real players and coaches on the team portray themselves. But before its July 2009 filming start, the film was put in
turnaround
due to creative differences between Soderbergh and Sony over a last-minute script rewrite. Soderbergh exited, and Miller was hired to direct, with Pitt becoming a producer and Sorkin hired for rewrites. Filming began in July 2010 at various stadiums such as
Dodger Stadium
and
Oakland Coliseum
.
Moneyball
premiered at the
2011 Toronto International Film Festival
and was released on September 23, 2011, to box office success and widespread critical acclaim, particularly for its acting and screenplay. The film was nominated for six
Academy Awards
, including
Best Picture
,
Best Adapted Screenplay
,
Best Actor
for Pitt and
Best Supporting Actor
for Hill.
Plot
[
edit
]
Billy Beane
, the
general manager
of the
Oakland Athletics
, is devastated by the team's loss to the
New York Yankees
in the
2001 American League Division Series
.
[4]
With the impending departure of star players
Johnny Damon
,
Jason Giambi
, and
Jason Isringhausen
to
free agency
, Beane needs to assemble a competitive team for
2002
with Oakland's limited budget of $41 million.
[5]
During a scouting visit to the
Cleveland Indians
, Beane meets Peter Brand, a young
Yale
economics graduate with radical ideas about evaluating players. Beane asks whether Brand would have drafted him out of high school; though
scouts
considered Beane promising, his career in the
major leagues
was disappointing. Brand says he would not have drafted him until the ninth round. Impressed, Beane hires him.
Using Brand's
sabermetric
method, Beane signs undervalued players such as
Chad Bradford
,
Jeremy Giambi
, and
Scott Hatteberg
, and also trades for
David Justice
. The Athletics' scouts are hostile toward the strategy, and Beane fires the head scout,
Grady Fuson
, after a heated confrontation. Beane also faces opposition from
Art Howe
, the Athletics' manager, who is in the final year of his contract and has been asking for an extension. Howe disregards Beane's and Brand's strategy and uses a more traditional lineup.
Early in the season, the Athletics are already 10
games behind
first, leading critics to dismiss the new method as a failure. Brand argues that their
sample size
is too small to conclude that the method does not work, and Beane convinces the team owner,
Stephen Schott
, to stay the course. To get help on defense, Beane trades Giambi to the
Phillies
for
John Mabry
and the only traditional first baseman,
Carlos Pena
, to the
Tigers
, leaving Howe no choice but to use the team that Beane and Brand have designed. Three weeks later, the Athletics are only four games behind first.
Before the trade deadline, Beane acquires the
relief pitcher
Ricardo Rincon
from the
Indians
, and on August 13, the Athletics start a winning streak. Beane, superstitiously, refuses to watch games in progress, but when the Athletics tie the
American League
record of 19 consecutive wins, his daughter persuades him to attend the next game against the
Kansas City Royals
. Oakland is leading 11?0 when Beane arrives in the fourth inning, only to watch the Royals even the score by the top of the ninth. Thanks to a
walk-off home run
by Hatteberg, the Athletics achieve a then record-breaking 20th consecutive win. Beane tells Brand he will not be satisfied until they have changed baseball by winning the
World Series
.
The Athletics win the
American League West
but lose to the
Minnesota Twins
in the
American League Division Series
, with an unseen baseball analyst explaining that some other intangibles of a player, such as drive and
clutch performance
, cannot be measured. The owner of the
Boston Red Sox
,
John W. Henry
, realizes that sabermetrics is the future of baseball. He makes Beane an offer to become the Red Sox general manager for a $12.5 million salary, which would make him the highest-paid general manager in sports history. In Oakland, Beane discloses the offer to Brand and says that their strategy failed. Brand shows a video of a heavyset batter,
Jeremy Brown
, who hits a home run but does not realize it; Beane understands what Brand is trying to say and thanks him. In his car, an emotional Beane listens to a cover of "
The Show
" recorded by his daughter in which she tells him to "just enjoy the show."
In an epilogue, Beane turns down Henry's offer, but the Red Sox still end up
winning the World Series two years later
using Beane and Brand's model, which other teams start to replicate as well.
Cast
[
edit
]
Film director
Spike Jonze
has a small uncredited role as Alan, Sharon's spouse.
[6]
Former
Activision Blizzard
CEO
Bobby Kotick
appears as Athletics co-owner
Stephen Schott
.

Production
[
edit
]
Development and pre-production
[
edit
]
In May 2004,
Sony Pictures
acquired the rights to the
Michael Lewis
book, and had hired
Stan Chervin
to write the screenplay.
[8]
By October 2008,
Brad Pitt
was being courted to star in the film, now being written by
Steven Zaillian
, and
David Frankel
was attached to direct.
[9]
Frankel and Pitt met with one another during the week of the
66th Golden Globe Awards
to discuss the project, but eventually Frankel would exit by February 2009, with
Steven Soderbergh
entering negotiations to direct.
[10]
Soderbergh confirmed his involvement in May that year, and in talking about the film, stated "I think we have a way in, making it visual and making it funny. I want it to be really funny and entertaining, and I want you to not realize how much information is being thrown at you because you're having fun. We've found a couple of ideas on how to bust the form a bit, in order for all that information to reach you in a way that's a little oblique".
[11]
Demetri Martin
was cast to play
Paul DePodesta
in the film, with former Athletics players
Scott Hatteberg
and
David Justice
playing themselves, and interview segments featuring players
Darryl Strawberry
and
Lenny Dykstra
set to occur.
[12]
Production under Soderbergh was set to begin in July 2009, and was to be shot on location at
Oakland Coliseum
.
Art Howe
, former manager of the team, was also set to appear as himself.
[13]
Five days before its July 8 filming start date, Sony cancelled the film and entered it into "limited
turnaround
". The cited reason for the cancellation was that, upon a last-minute script revision by Soderbergh that added "an abundance of baseball details", studio executives felt the audience would feel alienated. It was also stated that the studio now felt the film was too "arty" for its $58 million budget. Soderbergh was said to be unwilling to compromise, leaving Sony chairwoman
Amy Pascal
"apoplectic".
Paramount Pictures
and
Warner Bros.
both turned down offers to pick up the project.
[14]
Soderbergh revealed he exited the film in a September 2009 interview with
The Orlando Sentinel
, saying, "There have been a couple of times in my career where I've been unceremoniously removed from projects. I don't waste a lot of energy on it. It doesn't get you anywhere. As soon as it became clear that there was no iteration of that movie that I was going to get to direct, I immediately started looking around for something else to do".
[15]
In December 2009,
Bennett Miller
was hired to direct the film,
[16]
with the casting of
Jonah Hill
, who was replacing Martin as DePodesta, announced in March 2010.
[17]
Upon his request as he felt the script no longer accurately depicted him, DePodesta's name was removed, with Hill now playing the role of Peter Brand.
[18]
Aaron Sorkin
was brought on to provide a rewrite of the screenplay. Pascal had specifically sought out Sorkin's involvement, in addition to Pitt joining as a producer, and bringing producer
Scott Rudin
on board as executive producer. Sorkin agreed on the condition Zaillian gave his blessing. Sorkin and Zaillian eventually worked on different drafts of the script independently of one another.
[19]
[20]
Miller took three weeks to agree to do the film, and stated he wasn't interested in making a traditional sports film, seeking instead to make it "subversive to the genre. It's not really a conventional sports movie. It puts all that stuff on its head".
[21]
Cinematographer Adam Kimmel was initially set to work on the film, but due to his April 2010 arrest for
sexual assault
, was replaced by
Wally Pfister
.
[22]
[23]
In May,
Philip Seymour Hoffman
and
Robin Wright
entered negotiations to join the cast, with Hoffman portraying Howe, and Wright as Beane's ex-wife.
[24]
Chris Pratt
,
Stephen Bishop
and
Kathryn Morris
were added to the cast in July, though Morris's scenes were cut.
[25]
[26]
Pratt described how he initially was told in his first audition for the role of Hatteberg that he was "too fat". He took three months to work out and shed 30 pounds, which led to him winning the role.
[27]
Bishop, portraying Justice in the film, had grown up idolizing the player, and played baseball for the advanced A affiliate team of the
Atlanta Braves
at the time Justice was on their roster.
[28]
Filming
[
edit
]
Filming was given a July 2010 start date with a reduced budget of $47 million after Pitt agreed to a pay cut.
[29]
Filming took place at
Blair Field
for eight days.
[30]
Dodger Stadium
was used to stand in for multiple different stadiums due to the limited budget.
[31]
Roughly 700 extras were used for fans in the stadiums for the various baseball scenes.
[31]
Scenes were shot at the Oakland Coliseum beginning on July 26.
[32]
Music
[
edit
]
The score was composed by
Mychael Danna
, with whom Miller worked on
Capote
. Danna implemented the song "The Mighty Rio Grande" by
This Will Destroy You
throughout the film.
[33]
Joe Satriani
plays the 'Star Spangled Banner' at the first game of the 2002 season. In the film, Billy Beane's daughter, Casey Beane (played by
Kerris Dorsey
), performs a cover of Australian singer Lenka's 2008 song "
The Show"
, which is included in the soundtrack of the film. Another notable song featured in Moneyball's soundtrack is "Give Up the Funk".
Accuracy
[
edit
]
In regard to the film's accuracy, David Haglund of
Slate
and
Jonah Keri
of
Grantland
criticized the film and book for excluding pitchers
Tim Hudson
,
Mark Mulder
, and
Barry Zito
and position players such as
Eric Chavez
and
Miguel Tejada
. These players were discovered via traditional scouting methods, and were key contributors to the success of the 2002 Athletics.
[34]
Former Oakland A's manager Art Howe has spoken publicly about his disapproval of his portrayal in an interview on
Sirius XM
. "It is very disappointing to know that you spent seven years in an organization and gave your heart and soul to it and helped them go to the postseason your last three years there and win over 100 games your last two seasons and this is the way evidently your boss [Beane] feels about you." Howe also said producers of Miller's version of the film didn't contact him to consult on his portrayal.
[35]
Hatteberg also said that Howe was portrayed inaccurately, saying: "Art Howe was a huge supporter of mine. I never got the impression from him that I was not his first choice." He mentioned Howe and Beane had a "turbulent relationship".
[36]
The
San Francisco Chronicle
made note of several inaccuracies in the film, notably that players such as Giambi and Bradford had already joined the team before the time period in the film, and that the Giambi and Pena trades did not occur at the same time.
[37]

]

[38]

The film was also released on DVD and Blu-ray on December 6, 2011, by
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment

[41]
Critical response
[
edit
]
On
Rotten Tomatoes
,
Moneyball
holds an approval rating of 94% based on 265 reviews, with an average rating of 8.00/10. The website's critical consensus reads: "Director Bennett Miller, along with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, take a niche subject and turn it into a sharp, funny, and touching portrait worthy of baseball lore."
[42]
On
Metacritic
, the film has a weighted average score of 87 out of 100, based on 42 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".
[43]
Audiences polled by
CinemaScore
gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale.
[44]
The film appeared on 35 critics' top-ten lists for the best films of 2011, with two critics ranking it first and another ranking it second.
[45]
Roger Ebert
, in his four star review, praised the film for its "intelligence and depth", specifically highlighting the screenplay and its "terse, brainy dialogue."
[46]
Manohla Dargis
of
The New York Times
found Pitt's performance "relaxed yet edgy and sometimes unsettling", and stated she couldn't see anyone but Pitt in the role.
[47]
Writing for
Rolling Stone
,
Peter Travers
also praised Pitt's performance, in addition to Miller's direction and the screenplay, which he referred to as "dynamite".
[48]
Owen Gleiberman
for
Entertainment Weekly
highlighted Hoffman's performance alongside Pitt and Hill, finding Hoffman "does a character turn that's as fresh for him as the crew cut that makes him look like a grizzled old-timer."
[49]
Kirk Honeycutt was complimentary of the comedic chemistry between Pitt and Hill, which prompted Honeycutt to compare the film to
The Bad News Bears
and
Major League
.
[50]
Brian Eggert, owner and film critic of Deep Focus Review, said "even if you don't care much for baseball or sports in general, traces of a very human underdog drama come through to render the experience a universally consumable one." In his review for
New York
magazine
, while reviewing the film and Pitt's performance,
David Edelstein
found Pitt's performance made the film more focused towards Beane as opposed to the team.
[51]
Dana Stevens
of
Slate
found the film could be enjoyed by viewers who typically don't like sports movies. Stevens also highlighted Hill's performance, finding the role "gives him the chance to be funny, not by wisecracking broadly but by underreacting."
[52]
In a mixed review written for
Slant Magazine
, Bill Weber praised Pitt's performance, but found the film formulaic, stating "But true to Hollywood's tireless efforts to fit square-peg material into roundish genre niches, this wavering, intermittently smart story of daring to think differently flattens its narrative into formula." Weber also felt the audience would endure "tonal whiplash", pointing to the scene of Beane and Brand executing various trades he felt was "played for Laughs", but found "the rhythm isn't snappy enough to draw laughs."
[53]
Peter Hartlaub of the
San Francisco Chronicle
found the film to be filled with compromises, writing "Someone crammed
Major League
-style sports cliches into a more nuanced story about baseball and progress ? and then tried to fit a Brad Pitt star vehicle inside of that. The result is an interesting but frustrating near-miss." Hartlaub also criticized the film's runtime.
[54]
