Foxcatcher (Bennett Miller/Channing Tatum/Steve Carrell)

Post by ackbar »



caught an early screening of this movie last night (i think it hits theatres in november).
bennett miller (moneyball, capote) won the director award at cannes. steve carrell and channing tatum were both excellent. carrell's portrayal of john du pont is simultaneously weird and creepy and sad and funny and scary
it's a fairly dark look at mental illness but still has it's share of laughs. great choice to focus the movie around mark schultz instead of dave schultz, as mark's personality and overall slowness make for a much more interesting character. carrell and tatum have great chemistry as well

def worth checking out when it gets released. another great sports biopic by miller that isn't really about sports

Planning on going to see this within the next week.
I know the guy who plays the one wrestler Shultz loses to. He said it took 7 hours to shoot that one scene.
