Even Clint Eastwood catches baseball fever in October. 81-year old Clint Eastwood is in talks with Warner Brothers to star in a baseball drama. In the film, “Trouble With a Curve,” the main character is a legendary scout who now has troubled eyesight. He convinces his daughter to go on the road with him.
Dirty Harry has not starred in a movie since 2008 Grand Torino and said it would probably be his last flim. Eastwood revealed, “When I did Million Dollar Baby I thought, ‘Well, this would be a nice one to quit on,’ and then Gran Torino came along. They’re not writing a lot of really great material for guys my age. In lieu of that, I would just prefer to stay behind the camera. But if a great role came along, yeah, I would do that. But actors are like boxers — they stay too long sometimes.”
Brad Pitt’s Moneyball is the story of a baseball GM who defeys the odds and builds a contending team with a limited payroll. Watch this trailer spoof to see what the film would like if it was made about the New York Yankees opposed to the Oakland As.
In Moneyabll, Brad Pitt plays Oakland A’s GM Billy Beane, but for a guy who has a baseball movie based on him he really sucks at getting to first base. At the movie’s premier at the Toronto Film Festival, Beane turned down a kiss from Angelina Jolie… well not exactly, he wasn’t prepared for a double kiss on the cheek from the world traveler.
Beane told Bay Area’s KNBR “She was out here [in Oakland] for filming and I had seen her. We went for the kiss on the cheek … and I only went to one side and she was coming over from Europe and London and so she went both sides as I was pulling back. I was completely unprepared for the foreign exchange… That’s where a scouting report would’ve helped to realize that she was coming from Europe and would’ve done that. It was a complete faux pas on my part.”
Scouting report or no scouting report, Beane should be aware that Jolie isn’t afraid of going after another woman’s man.
