Moneyball Movie notes

As of right now, the movie seems to be just at the script/pre-production phase. Clooney had been rumored for the lead role as Beane but there is some history between him and the current scriptwritter, Stan Cheverin. From 1999-2002, Clooney had been trying to make "The Catcher was a Spy" but the film never got greenlighted, apparently for good reason.

RB: Since Moe Berg keeps coming up, is the movie going to be made?

ND: I don’t know, they just keep getting horrible screenplay after horrible screenplay. George Clooney really wanted to make it. And that would be great.

Almost all of Cheverin's scripts are connected to films that were in development hell, a term used to describe films that never got made due to studio, script, casting and all other sorts of changes.

In all likelyhood, it may take the A's winning the World Series for this movie to be made at all least of all true to reality.
