TIFF Teaser: Moneyball, the humble story of Brad Pitt and the Oakland Athletics

Now that Brad Pitt’s attendance at this year’s TIFF has been confirmed, we can get excited for his turn as the visionary general manager of the empty-pocketed Oakland Athletics in Moneyball. Based on Michael Lewis’s behind-the-scenes book on the workings of a major league team, the movie is co-written by Aaron Sorkin, which means it’s it’ll soon be dripping in Oscar buzz, despite being, literally, inside baseball.
