- FOXCATCHER

| Steve Carell |
Steve Carell is set to star in director Bennett Miller's
Moneyball follow-up project, Foxcatcher, reports Variety. The film is the true
story of the murder of an Olympic wrestler by John du Pont. The trade describes
the crime as follows:
"A paranoid schizophrenic and heir to the du Pont
chemical fortune, John du Pont built a wrestling training facility called Team
Foxcatcher on his Pennsylvania estate, where in 1996, he shot and killed
Olympic gold medal-winning wrestler David Schultz."
Police never established a motive for the crime, though Du
Pont died last year in a Pennsylvania prison at the age of 72.
Miller will direct from a script by E. Max Frye and Dan
Futterman, who wrote Miller's debut feature, Capote.
Filming is expected to start in March
