poser Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Ok here is the preview where they forgot to fill in the right side of stadium. You will also notice scoreboard and diamond vision are off. Haven't seen movie yet to see if they fixed it. My comment was the top comment on youtube for awhile about it. In one later preview it looked like they may have used a shot that was zoomed in a bit more to cut off scoreboard and right side. On the wall they correctly had added old sponsors, the old fsn sponsor was there (but new CSN on scoreboard), they brought back the American flag but looks like they left the new white athletics script.Saw the movie for the third time and while watching it, I kept this post in mind. In the movie, the stands are filled and the scoreboard is lit up, so the trailer screen shot is different from what you actually see in the film.So we can add A's having fans that show up as another mistake.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Anyone think it was weird that Barry Zito didn't even get mentioned in the movie? And Tejada was only mentioned verryyy briefly. They were the Cy Young winner and MVP respectively, so its not like the A's got that far just because Beane's ballsy off season additions. It kinda seemed like the movie conveniently left those details out to make it seem like Beane developed this rag tag group of scrubs, like a real life Little Giants. That being said, I thought it was a great movie. I just thought that was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Well, if you read the book, then you'd know that the point of the story wasn't the entire team, but how Beane found key players to fill in the missing spots. I do wish the movie talked more about them, but the movie holds true to the story of the book. Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RETROJR79 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 It was a good movie and I loved that they used the Oakland Coloseum although couple scene was @ Dodger Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis2051 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 It was a good movie and I loved that they used the Oakland Coloseum although couple scene was @ Dodger Stadium.It was supposed to be. That was from when Beane was with the Mets. On thing that did bug me was the scene at Fenway. Not only were the 2004/2007 championship banners in plain sight (trust me, that would have been incredibly easy to remove), but the park was clearly the Fenway of 2010, not 2002.
