Foxcatcher was massively lauded when it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, with many who saw it saying it was the first Oscar frontrunner and many saying Steve Carell could well win the Best Actor gong.
However are with earlier teaser, there’s more of a focus on man-of-the-moment Channing Tatum in this new trailer.
The film is based on the true tale of Olympic wrestler Dave Schultz (Mark Ruffalo), who was murdered by his paranoid schizophrenic friend Jon Du Pont (Carell) in 1996. Du Pont was an heir to the Du Pont chemical company, who teamed up with Dave’s brother Mark (Tatum) to build a wrestling training facility known as ‘Team Foxcatcher’ on his sprawling Pennsylvania estate. The Schultzes tried to get Du Pont help for years before the murder.
Bennett Miller (Capote) directs from a screenplay by Dan Futterman and E. Max Frye. It’s out in the US in December 20th, with a mid-January UK date set.
