Moneyball co-stars Robin Wright, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Chris Pratt and Kathryn Morris.
Pitt recently revealed that he was "obsessed" with making Moneyball, adding: "I saw it as a story about justice. How is a team with a $40 million payroll going to compete with a team with a $140 million payroll and another $100 million in reserves? Any talent they grow is going to get poached by the rich teams. That became really interesting to me."
Oscar-winning screenwriters Steven Zallian (Schindler's List) and Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network) penned the movie, which opens in the US on September 23 and November 25 in the UK.
