Jonah Hill has certainly made a name for himself on the comedy circuit with roles in "Superbad" and the upcoming "Get Him to the Greek," but he's a significantly lesser known quantity when it comes to dramatic film fare. But Hill is taking the plunge away from comedy by signing on to star opposite Brad Pitt in director Bennett Miller's "Moneyball," currently speculated to shoot in June.

Hill is well aware that there's some skepticism from fans about his involvement in "Moneyball" as Paul DePodesta, but the actor has a hard time believing that his participation will ruin the film.

"Aaron Sorkin wrote the script, Bennett Miller who directed 'Capote' is directing it, and Brad Pitt is the other star besides me in the movie — and somehow, I've ruined the movie without even having done anything in it," he joked in an interview with MTV News at this weekend's South by Southwest festival. "That's how powerful my crappiness is. I mean, come on."

Clearly, Hill has some confidence in himself when it comes to "Moneyball," as the actor said that he worked very hard to land the role of DePodesta after Demetri Martin dropped out of the movie.

"I earned the part," he said. "Every guy who is in their twenties and making movies was after that part, and it was a very tough thing. I'm really proud to have earned it, you know?"

If nothing else, Hill is very confident in the movie itself, saying that "Moneyball" is going to be well worth the wait.

"It's going to be a remarkable movie," he said. "I couldn't be more thrilled to be doing that next."

You wouldn't peg Mary J Blige as the black-light-and-tapestry sort, but, as has become readily apparent in recent weeks, she absolutely loves Led Zeppelin.

"I want y'all to hear it," she laughed.

Hopefully it doesn't suck.
