Foxcatcher
Synopsis At AFI Fest:
FOXCATCHER,
a psychological drama directed by Academy Award® nominee Bennett Miller
(MONEYBALL) and starring Golden Globe® winner Steve Carell, Channing Tatum,
Academy Award®nominee Mark Ruffalo, Academy Award® winner Vanessa Redgrave and
Sienna Miller, will have its World Premiere on Friday, November 8 as the
Opening Weekend Gala. The film was written by E. Max Frye and Academy Award®
nominee Dan Futterman. FOXCATCHER tells the story of Olympic Gold Medal-winning
wrestler Mark Schultz (Tatum), who sees a way out from the shadow of his more
celebrated wrestling brother Dave (Ruffalo) and a life of poverty when he is
summoned by eccentric multi-millionaire John du Pont (Carell) to move onto his
estate and train for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Desperate to gain the respect of
his disapproving mother, du Pont begins “coaching” a world-class athletic team
and, in the process, lures Mark into dangerous habits, breaks his confidence
and drives him into a self-destructive spiral. Based on actual events,
FOXCATCHER is a gripping and profoundly American story of fragile men who
pinned their hopes for love and redemption on a desperate obsession for
greatness that was to end in tragedy.
