Bennett Miller il regista di Capote e L’arte di vincere sta lavorando ad un nuovo progetto, tratto da una storia vera.
Sienna Miller è entrata nel cast che già prevedeva come protagonisti Channing Tatum, Steve Carell e Mark Ruffalo.
Scritto da E. Max Frye e Dan Futterman the story centers on John du Pont (Carell), a stamp-collecting, bird-watching multimillionaire and paranoid schizophrenic who built a wrestling training facility, Team Foxcatcher, on his 800-acre Pennsylvania estate. In 1996, he shockingly murdered Olympic gold medal-winning wrestler David Schultz (Ruffalo), a longtime friend, who du Pont believed (as was discovered during the trial) was part of an international conspiracy to kill him. Miller and Tatum will play Schultz’s wife and brother, respectively.
La produzione comincerà a Pittsbourgh a fine mese.
