Brad Pitt has been packing schedule with yet another movie with Columbia Pictures. Steven Zaillian has signed on to adapt Michael Lewis non fiction bestseller “Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game,” and David Frankel is attached to direct. Project is being developed as a potential starring vehicle for Brad Pitt.

Book’s subject is Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane, who assembled a contending baseball club on a shoestring budget by emplying a sophisticated computer based analysis to draft players.

Michael De Luca is producing alongside Rachael Horovitz. Stan Chervin wrote the script based on the book, while Sony optioned in 2004. “Moneyball” was first published by W.W.Norton in 2003.

Zaillian last teamed with the studio with his misfire All The King’s Men. But he is known for screenplays for movies like American Gangster and Gangs of New York.

Frankel on the other hand directed The Devil Wears Prada most recently helmed the Owen Wilson-Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy Marley and Me also for Fox. The film will be opened in Christmas this year.
