(PCM) Sony Pictures Classics has released the official teaser poster for this fall’s intense drama Foxcatcher.
Foxcatcher is 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.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.
The teaser poster, seen above, features an intensely glaring Channing Tatum, who alongside Steve Carell, underwent extensive prosthetic makeup for the role.
Director Bennet Miller won the best director award at the Cannes Film Festival for Foxcatcher and Oscar buzz is already building about the film and its three leads.
Watch the trailer for Foxcatcher below and head to your local theater on November 14 when the film opens in theaters nationwide.
