Neyer: Monday Mendozas (Demitri Martin DROPPED from the Moneyball movie)

I managed to buttonhole Michael Lewis, and got this bit of news: the rebooted Moneyball movie, scripted by Aaron Sorkin, is scheduled to start shooting in June. According to Lewis, Brad Pitt’s still going to play Billy Beane. But Demetri Martin’s out as Paul DePodesta. Instead—ready for this?—the ex-football player and Harvard graduate will be portrayed by ... Jonah Hill.

This Jonah Hill.

probably for the best (unless you were hoping for this project to challenge for worst of all time). demetri martin is up my alley, but him as depodesta would have been awful.

I thought that was all we had to hope for.

I thought Martin was terrific on The Daily Show, but a swirling vortex of utter blandness at the center of the pointless Taking Woodstock. Dunno how he'd work in a film as a minor character.
