A Real-Life Lesson In Baseball

Brad Pitt Brings Big-Money Baseball To Its Knees In “Moneyball” The Brad Pitt-produced film Moneyball, adapted from Michael Lewis’ best-selling book, is a welcome change from the more typical sentimental Hollywood treatment of the game.

Pitt plays Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane. Tired of seeing the star players on his team lured away by ballclubs with bigger budgets, and hamstrung by the A’s own severely limited resources, Beane connects with an Ivy League economics expert with an eye for baseball stats, Peter Brand (Jonah Hill in his most serious film to date), and together they try to build a team to challenge not just the American League, but big-business baseball as a whole.

“I’m amazed they let me do this movie,” Pitt told Sports Illustrated of the project, which took eight years to bring to the big screen. “[Making a movie] with math and science and sabermetrics at its forefront … was a huge question for us. But somehow it didn’t feel like a risk. I was just so taken with the book. It had these universal themes.”

Many of the concepts in the film — like frugality, ruthlessness and rethinking the

playbook — resonate even more today than they did when Beane started his experiment based on the writings of Bill James, who first advocated the sabermetric approach. And since the 2002 season in which this film is set, the practice of playing “moneyball” has become far more pervasive and controversial.

But at the heart of this particular telling of this story, it’s very much about one man’s determination to succeed at something in life when the odds have been against him, even if he doesn’t end up winning — or even reaching — the World Series. And it’s that small, subtle success story that appealed to Pitt — a throwback to the movies he remembers from the ’70s.

“In scripts today,” he explains, “someone has a big epiphany, learns a lesson, then comes out the other side different. In these older films I’m talking about, the beast at the end of the movie was the same beast in the beginning of the movie. What changed was the world around them, by just a couple of degrees. Nothing monumental. I think that’s true about us. We finetune ourselves, but big change is not real.”

Sugar Ray Leonard Helps Hugh Jackman Get “Real”

Real Steel (Action) In the near future, when robot boxing has replaced human combatants, a down-on-his-luck promoter struggles to find the next champion and bond with the 11-year-old son he’s just met. Hugh Jackman, Dakota Goyo, Evangeline Lilly (PG-13, 2:09) Available Beginning Jan. 24 On Demand menu: New Releases 8

In the future envisioned in the action drama Real Steel, robots, not people, enter the ring, fighting it out with moves similar to those of their trainers.

Washed-up fighter Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman, X-Men) and his estranged preteen son Max (Dakota Goyo, Thor) find a robot on a scrap heap, refurbish it and begin training it to take on the robot boxing champion. Atom, the robot Charlie and Max rescue, has the ability to mimic the moves of his trainer, making it as much Charlie as Atom when the huge steel fighter steps into the ring.

To maintain the realism, Sugar Ray Leonard trained Jackman in how to fight and showed the filmmakers how to give the robot fighting scenes more realism. Jackman, whose father had been a boxer in his youth, is a fan of the sport. “When I told my dad I was working with Sugar Ray Leonard, I don’t think I’ve seen him more jazzed in my life.” He adds that his father told him Leonard was a generous man, “very respectful to people.”
