Top Hollywood actor Brad Pitt has decided to visit Korea to promote his latest film "Moneyball," announced the pic's local promoter on Wednesday.

An official with All That Cinema said that Pitt will fly into Korea this month although they have yet to finalize the details of his visit.

This will be Pitt's first time in Korea. His actress wife Angelina Jolie visited the country last year to promote her movie "Salt."

"Moneyball," based on Michael Lewis' 2003 book of the same name, tells of the Oakland Athletics baseball team's 2002 season and their general manager Billy Beane's (Pitt) attempts to assemble a competitive team.

The pic has received high critical acclaim and was featured at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
It will open in theaters in Korea on November 17.
