Seems like this movie has been for awhile now but Apple just posted the trailer for the new Ryan Fleck (Half-Nelson) movie, Sugar. Looks like this guy knows what he's doing because it looks great.

Sugar follows the story of Miguel Santos, a.k.a. Sugar, a Dominican pitcher from San Pedro De Macorís, struggling to make it to the big leagues and pull himself and his family out of poverty. Playing professionally at a baseball academy in the Dominican Republic, Miguel finally gets his break at age 19 when he advances to the United States’ minor league system; but when his play on the mound falters, he begins to question the single-mindedness of his life’s ambition.

I'm so excited about this movie. I was talking to a friend a couple months ago about how I wanted to see a movie about baseball that wasn't a "sports drama," like where the big game is the climax and whatever, and this looks to be that movie. It doesn't hurt that Half Nelson is in my top 10 favorite movies of all time.

Fleck's style looks apparent in this as well. Love his cinematography.
