The filmmaker's new project Steven Soderbergh called moneyball and it was already known that his friend will lead Brad Pitt, after the successful trilogy they made with the saga of Ocean's.
Soderbergh comes from filming the movie where Che's life is told, in which he acts Benicio, the bull; and quickly embarked on moneyball, film that revolves around a baseball team, based on the novel Moneyball: The art of winning an unfair game, From the writer Michael Lewis.
The story will focus on the true story of Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland Athletics, which ventured into the most advanced technology to optimize the performance of its equipment.
Pitt himself will give life to the protagonist, as announced by the entertainment magazine Variety. The film could begin filming in the coming months, after its aforementioned film version of the life of Ernesto Che Guevara ('Che: the Argentine' and 'Che: Guerrilla').
While there was also talk of another idea he was working on Soderbergh, Cleo, musical about Cleopatra, with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Hugh Jackman, the director would prioritize this new work with Pitt and postpone the musical for later.
