Steve Carell stars as Schizophrenic murderer John du Pont, the heir to the DuPontChemical fortune who built a wrestling gym called Team Foxcatcher on his Pennsylvania estate. In 1996, he shot and killed his close friend, Olympic gold medal-winning wrestler Dave Schultz, (Mark Ruffalo) at the training center. After the murder, du Pont locked himself in his mansion for two days while he negotiated with police on the telephone. A motive for the crime was never established, and du Pont died in a Pennsylvania prison at the age of 72.
Channing Tatum will play Mark Schultz David's younger brother who was also an Olympic champion wrestler. Anthony Michael Hall will play the assistant of du Pont. Sienna Miller will play Nancy David's wife.
E. Max Frye and Dan Futterman wrote the script from which Bennett Miller called the shots. The trio will also produce the pic with Anthony Bregman and Jon Kilik.
After a delay, the film is set to open on November 14, 2014.
Wow....
