Kathryn Morris UK

Moneyball Confirmation?

Just spotted a Twitter message from user TheAggregator (Matthew Nelson).

Hunh.. the very nice lady I gave directions to last night on the set was Kathryn Morris http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0606700/ #moneyball Shrug

This could very well be confirmation of Kathryn’s involvement in the movie Moneyball that we’ve been looking for. Moneyball, based on the book of the same name by Michael Lewis, stars Brad Pitt as Billy Beane, the General Manager of the Oakland As baseball team. Matthew has been on set during filming of baseball game scenes at the Oakland Coliseum.

Thanks to Matthew for the info.

Kathryn Gets The (Money)ball Rolling

It is being widely reported (Empire Online, Comingsoon.net, The Hollywood Reporter, New York Magazine amongst others) that Kathryn is in negotiations to star in a new movie called Moneyball.

The movie is an adaptation of the book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis, a non-fiction telling of the story of Billy Beane as he puts together the Oakland A’s baseball team on a limited budget.

Brad Pitt will star as the lead character with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Robin Wright amongst the big stars already signed-up for the film. Kathryn is being earmarked for the role of Billy’s second wife.

Filming starts today (12 July 2010) and the movie is due for release next year.

As an aside it would appear that since leaving the WME agency in April Kathryn has signed with The Gersh Agency. Hopefully the move will lead to more roles.

More news as we find it.
