Yes, That's Bobby Kotick Acting Alongside Brad Pitt in Moneyball

I'm just going to embed this trailer, let you know that Activision CEO Bobby Kotick is featured in this trailer, and mention that Activision has confirmed it's actually Kotick--not a lookalike. Okay.

Wait, seriously? That's actually him?!

The fuck?!

Why?

what the fuck

WHAT THE FUCK

No, I don't like it. Make it go away.

Interesting, i like Jonah Hill so i will probably see this movie.

Oh joy... 

OH EM GEE....EW

:D :D :D

Go Bobby Kotick yay!

The dude knows about money.

Kotick's going to make annual movie franchises now.

I wonder if they pick up Willie Mays Hayes.

I don't understand why so many gaming websites are writing this up as a news story. It's a real business executive acting in a movie, it has happened before.

This movie looks good... so why is that horrible horrible man in it?

Like to know how this all went down.

For some reason I had a Social Network feeling when I watched this.

looks like its just a cameo. because the man is so up his own arse.

I think that's pretty cool.

This was a good book. Trailer looks... kind of dull.

King Kotick transcends media :bow

That Black Keys song is in almost as many trailers as Power is. 
Almost.

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

Think positive: He should turn this into a career-switching opportunity. :)

So this is what all of our CoD money are going to.... Meeting Brad Pitt.

For some reason I had a Social Network feeling when I watched this.

I know someone who's an extra in that movie,

I know someone who's in a movie with Bobby Kotick,

I am 2 degrees of separation from Bobby Kotick.

*shiver*

If people didn't hate him as much as they do, it probably wouldn't be a news story. But he's probably the most hated person in the game industry, so it is news I guess. Personally I find the amount of effort people put into hating someone who is far from the worst person in the world really pathetic. But I guess there's no hate like gamer hate. MY VIDEOGAMES NOOOOOO!!!

I think the great Scientist Marcus said it well when he said, and I quote: "Bobby Kotick is a cunt."

I'm pretty interested to see EA and Riccitiello's reaction to this.
Hopefully in the next Battlefield 3 press release or trailer.

You know what that means....

Trailer mash-up.

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.

Baseball + Bobby Kotick = Double no.

seriously fuck kotick. i can just imagine the process that greedy prick went through to land a role in a movie with brad pitt. this shouldn't be bothering me as much as it is, but it's clear that he's a stereotypical fat cat executive who sees the world in dollar signs and nothing more.

So I guess he gets a Screened page now?

Don't panic. DON'T PANIC!

he plays a rich asshole?

perfect!

Its probably a case where very rich man says "I think I wanna be in a movie"

uses absurd amount of money to get a bit part. Then tells everyone "oh yea since a kid i've always wanted to act."

No dude you just have a ton of money, and use it to buy your way into stuff like this. Am I jealous....You bet your ass I am!

what

I first read the headline like this:

Yes, That's Bobby Kotick Acting Alongside Brad Pitt in Monkeyball

Pitt looks a lot more like Robert Redford these days.

Aww man I love baseball but not Bobby Kotick. I'll still watch this movie, looks good.

he plays a rich asshole?

perfect!
