At this year's Toronto Film Festival, I was able to talk with Chris Pratt about director Bennett Miller’s Moneyball.  Based on Michael Lewis' book, the film stars Brad Pitt as Billy Beane, the general manager of Oakland Athletics who helped usher in a statistical revolution to professional baseball.  Jonah Hill plays a fictional character based on Paul DePodesta, and Pratt plays Scott Hatteberg.  Moneyball also stars Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright, Stephen Bishop and Kathryn Morris.During the interview, Pratt talked about how he got cast in the film, what advice he got from Hatteberg, the screenplay by Steve Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin, and what the last year has been like.  He also talks about his characters in both Ten Year and Five-Year Engagement with Jason Segel.  Hit the jump to watch.And if you missed it, here's my video interview with Jonah Hill.  Moneyball opens tomorrow.Chris Pratt
