Mark Schultz is an Olympic Gold Medallist wrestler who is often overlooked as his older brother Dave is renowned in the same sport. One day, Mark is invited to the luxurious home of sports sponsor John du Pont, who wishes to train up a team for the forthcoming 1988 Seoul Olympics at his own training facility. Mark is thrilled to be recognised for his talents for once, and begins to appreciate du Pont like a father. Unfortunately, it soon becomes clear that du Pont is not all he once appeared to be, being prone to increasingly volatile and erratic behaviour, and his support of Mark begins to get unhealthy. Not only that, but it seems he is now obsessed by the charismatic persona of Dave, and through jealousy and spiralling paranoia, tragedy of the ultimate kind is about to ensue.
'Foxcatcher' is a shocking drama based on the true story of wrestler Dave Shultz murder at the hands of John du Pont. It has been directed by Oscar nominee Bennett Miller ('Moneyball', 'Capote'), with a screenplay by Primetime Emmy nominee E. Max Frye ('Where the Money Is', 'Something Wild') and Dan Futterman ('In Treatment', 'Capote'). It is expected to hit the US on November 14th 2014.
