I seriously hope not. I can't see this very good book being much of a movie. The level of creative license would be insane. And there has already been a fair amount of creative license put into the book.

These projects come and go, but this would be pretty interesting...

I would just love to see this come out so Joe Morgan could talk about Billy Beane making a movie about his book...priceless...

It works as a book, but I just don't see it as a movie. At least, not one that I'd want to see.

Sor of on the lines of The Barbarians at the Gate!

I could see it working as a movie, maybe like "The Paper" in a way. Remember that one? With Michael Keaton, Marisa Tomei, Robert Duvall, et al?
