David Ellison said that Brad Pitt just took out a script and asked Kavanaugh to assess its investment value.
The script is called "Moneyball," adapted from Michael Lewis's "Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game."
It tells the story of Oakland Athletics' general manager Billy Beane, who, through unique management methods, broke all the conventions and successfully built a baseball team with formidable fighting spirit.
This is a sports movie. In '09, there was a sports-themed movie "The Blind Side" that grossed over $250 million on a budget of more than $30 million, and the lead actress Sandra Bullock won the Academy Award for Best Actress with her performance in the film.
"The Blind Side" was critically acclaimed and a box office hit, which led to a flood of sports movies in the next two years.
These include "The Fighter," "Warrior," "Soul Surfer," "Real Steel," and even "Black Swan" could be counted as one.
