Now out of post production we hope to have more news on the film soon. Many thanks to the Sunday’s Mother production team for the image and for granting KM UK exclusive use of it outside of their website.
DVD, Blu-ray and a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack will be available of the movie that tells the story of Billy Beane’s (Brad Pitt) usage of statistics to improve the odds for the Oakland A’s baseball team. The reported extras for the DVD include:
The Blu-ray version also adds:
Nothing there screams Kathryn’s scenes that were cut so we are left guessing for a little longer. More info can be found on Blu-ray.com, amongst others. Update: You can now find the DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray/DVD combo available for pre-order on the US Amazon.com site.
We know that Kathryn is not in the film in its released form. However, director Bennett Miller has discussed having shot a lot of additional footage that didn’t make the cut, and that it is likely to be used as part of the extra features on the home release. So far there is no news as to what the extras will be but hopefully this means we will finally get to see Kathryn’s scenes with Brad when the discs hit the shops. Until now I had not heard of the DVDizzy site but it has apparently been around for along time (in Internet terms at least) in its earlier incarnation as Ultimate Disney and is highly regarded. Moneyball is due to start showing in UK cinemas on November 25th.
You and I know this is a stupid story. Let’s hope that the people of the National Enquirer really know it as well or there really is no hope for civilisation. For some reason the US tabloid has decided to dredge up the Kathryn/Brad/Angelina story that was first fabricated last year when the movie Moneyball was filming. But they are not repeating that nonsense. No, of course not. Heaven forbid. Surprisingly late to the party, as Moneyball has been out several weeks, the Enquirer has spotted that Kathryn’s scenes are not in the movie. I’ll leave it to them, in their own inimitable style, to try explain that cutting Kathryn’s scenes made sense for the movie. They are not implying anything at all. Honest. The article on the National Enquirer website is not available outside the US so I’ve copied the text below. Update (13 Oct): ZimGossip is carrying the story on a more widely available site HERE. Also, Sophie S. Benvenuti at Gather.com has written a similar piece to mine about the National Enquirer article. You can read her take in this “news” HERE.
In the article Steven is comparing the fiction with the facts and one of the first he goes for is the issue of Billy Beane having re-married. In Moneyball Beane’s ex-wife (played by Robin Wright) and their daughter appear, his second wife Tara (Kathryn) and their children are never referred to. Brad Pitt, as Beane, is seen to be wearing a wedding ring, which has confused some viewers. Steven goes on to say that Kathryn filmed four scenes and that they even test screened them all. The information I had (posted about here) from people that saw the first round of test screenings suggests that only one of the scenes was in that edit. Perhaps Steven is talking about private screenings. You can read the article on the LA Times website. |
