Cannes Unveils 2014 Official Selection Lineup (Fox catcher movie)

[hawktalk3]

I am not very informed on film festivals and what not, but here is something on the Fox catcher movie:

"Though outnumbered in competition by its neighbor to the north, the U.S.
will be represented by two hotly anticipated titles expected to supply
much of the Croisette's star wattage: Bennett Miller's "Foxcatcher," a
ripped-from-the-headlines drama featuring Steve Carell, Channing Tatum
and Mark Ruffalo.."

"..this third feature from the highly regarded writer-director of "Capote"
and "Moneyball" is an account of the murder of Olympic wrestling
champion Dave Schultz."

"Foxcatcher, Bennett Miller’s drama about disturbed multimillionaire John du Pont and his ill-fated relationship with Olympic-wrestling brothers Mark and Dave Schultz, will open in theaters Nov. 14."

"A sad-sack no more, Steve Carell goes very dark in this true-crime tale, where he plays paranoid schizophrenic heir John du Pont, who killed his Olympic wrestler friend Mark Schultz (Mark Ruffalo) at the Foxcatcher wrestling facility he founded to indulge his latest obsession. The film (which also stars Channing Tatum as Schultz's brother) is directed by Bennett Miller, who also helmed Best Picture nominees Capote and Moneyball; perhaps the third time is the charm, especially after Foxcatcher moved out of last year's ultracompetitive Oscar season?"
