Some of Steven Soderbergh's movies have made a lot of money and received great critical praise, but that's not enough for Columbia Pictures to fully trust him with some of his projects.

Indeed, Columbia has pulled the plug on Soderbergh's upcoming sports drama "Moneyball," the big-screen adaptation of Michael Lewis' book "Moneyball: The Art of Winning An Unfair Game."

Variety reports Columbia's chairwoman Amy Pascal put the project into turnaround after she read Soderbergh's rewrite of Steven Zaillian's script. Well, she didn't like it, and she's no longer ready to invest into the project anymore.

This comes as quite an unexpected move, especially because Soderbergh and Pitt were gearing up for the shoot already. At this stage, it's not sure who will stay on-board or what will happen to "Moneyball."

The film follows Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland Athletics, who used sophisticated computer analysis system to piece together a team that regularly contended for the World Series.

Stay tuned as we keep you updated on what's going on with this film. Too bad it didn't work out the way Soderbergh hoped.
