Yeah you read that movie description right. Sounded just as kooky to me too.
Production company Sony has picked up the distribution rights to the film Foxcatcher starring Mark Ruffalo and Channing Tatum. The two play Olympic wrestling champions Mark Schultz (Tatum) and Dave Schultz (Ruffalo). The two somehow developed a relationship with the odd John du Pont (Steve Carrell) heir to the du Pont chemical fortune. The relationship ultimately ended in murder.
The film has been in the can for quite some time, but unfortunately has been unable to find a distributor until Sony came along. Seems strange to me, with three big names like Carrell, Ruffalo, and Tatum involved. Perhaps it was due to the quirkiness of the story? Hard to swallow when you consider how Paul Thomas Anderson's movies always obtain distribution.
Foxcatcher hits theaters December 20th. Somehow I don't think it is going to beat Anchorman 2 at the box office.
