Based on true events, ‘Foxcatcher’ tells the dark and fascinating story of the unlikely and ultimately tragic relationship between an eccentric multi-millionaire and two champion wrestlers. Take a look at yet another teaser from the movie and stay tuned for the release!
When Olympic Gold Medal winning wrestler Mark Schultz is invited by wealthy heir John du Pont to move on to the du Pont estate and help form a team to train for the 1988 Seoul Olympics at his new state-of-the-art training facility, Schultz jumps at the opportunity, hoping to focus on his training and finally step out of the shadow of his revered brother, Dave. Driven by hidden needs, du Pont sees backing Schultz’s bid for Gold and the chance to “coach” a world-class wrestling team as an opportunity to gain the elusive respect of his peers and, more importantly, his disapproving mother.

Based on the true story of John Eleuthére du Pont, a convicted murderer, multimillionaire, and member of the famed du Pont family, Foxcatcher is the newest film from director Bennet Miller. It stars Steve Carell as du Pont, along with Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo as Mark and Dave Schultz respectively. The film centers on his efforts to build up U.S. wrestling. Most notable is Carrell’s dramatic turn in the film — a stark departure from his usual roles and one which may land him an Oscar nod.
