Somebody kill Kotick.

So, his Brad Pitt a gamer, and he wanted Kotick for some method acting to help him get mad?

They are doing it wrong.

BOON: The True Story

Now I would pay to see that

wait...what?

I want a Kotick mode in the next COD: Basically in multiplayer someone grabs a suitcase of money and it everybody's priority to shoot him in the dick.

This doesn't look interesting at all...

At least its a baseball movie and goddamn do I wish I could work in baseball.. =( 

Wait, he's playing a soulless money man behind a desk!? What a stretch that must be for him!

Is Bobby the guy that says "This is not New York"...?

Spoiler:
The A's win the world series, and are heralded as the greatest team to grace the diamond. Unfortunately, they do not sell enough merchandise, so Bobby Kotick quickly disassembles the team and they vanish into obscurity.  

Okay, 3 things:

• Why?
• Bobby Kotick is a really odd looking guy.
• Trailer wasn't so hot.

Kotick is a mad man.... and not the good kind.

All I can hear and see is shit.

So that's why he got rid of West and Zampella...  Sabermetrics.

Damn, this dude is a legit baller.

The A's only made it to the playoffs under Bean. Maybe they won a series, but never made it to the World Series.

bizarre 

Why is this "News" still here?

uh....huh.

Baseball, literally the most boring sport ever.

So is Money Ball a new movie that's coming out or something? Sounds terrible. I quit watching about twelve seconds in, when I saw guys playing baseball. *yawn*.

Makes sense.

The movie looks good though.

I assume this a comedy, because Kotick is a joke.

The Moneyball book is a great read - totally recommended even for casual fans of the sport

Not sure about the movie yet.. but the trailer seems pretty close to the text, which is promising

everytime i see these dodge commercials i think the cars going to flip and a dead body is going to roll out and dexter is gonna be like OH SHIT

I like how Bobby is the guy in the movie that tells Brad he can't do something. Just like real life huh?

I assume this a comedy, because Kotick is a joke.

This is a joke, right?
 
 
 
 
Right????? Oh dear god, please tell me this is a joke. Just a sick, sick, perverted joke.
 
EDIT: I think Kotick, at some point, needs to become a little self-aware and be the bad guy in a movie or the last boss in a video game. Maybe, even best of all, there is a twist in the final Modern Warfare game where he is the secret supervisor of Makarov and the guy who nukes the planet.

WE'RE NOT IN NEW YORK

I loved that book and cannot wait to see the movie. Just for the nostalgia of the good Oakland Athletics.

Yeah I'm really curious how this is going to play out. Ironically I picked up the book off my shelf today to read at the DMV and then I get to work and GiantBomb has posted this.

Looks good, get the man an Oscar!

Are they playing rounder's???

Will this movie be re-released yearly now that Kotick is involved?

An expert liar like him could make a fine actor some day.

Kotick won't even change that scary-ass wig for HOLLYWOOD. Lovely.

I'm of two minds on this, on one hand as a Baseball fan and a Boston Red Sox fan (2007 is a textbook Moneyball Championship) I really really want to see this movie. On the other I really really HATE Bobby Kotick. Dilemma.

I don't say this just out of semi-jealousy for his ability to make more money than I will ever see... But he is one funny looking dude. 

Hopefully, he gives up Activision for acting. Because he sucks as a CEO.

ACTING, ACTING!

Da Fuck?

@abara:

There's no limit on how much you can spend using Sabremetrics, it's about using your money wisely. Poor teams can spend wisely, rich can spend poorly, poor can spend poorly, rich can spend wisely.

We need the part of an asshole business man for our movie. Who can we get...

Kotick's going to make annual movie franchises now.

LOL

I'm a huge Oakland A's fan and in light of the last three years I want to say that Billy Beane has run this organization straight to the ground. For God's sake if you are going to make a film about the A's make it a bio-pic about Charlie O. Finley. He was ten times more interesting and at least the A's won a World Series under his management.

Hate that guy.

God he is ugly.
