Foxcatcher is a 2014 American biographical true crime drama film produced and directed by Bennett Miller. Written by E. Max Frye and Dan Futterman, the film stars Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo, and Vanessa Redgrave. Loosely based on 1984 Olympic gold medalist and two time world champion US wrestler Mark Schultz's autobiographical memoir,"Foxcatcher: The True Story of My Brother's Murder, John du Pont's Madness, and the Quest for Olympic Gold", the film's plot revolves around multimillionaire E.I. du Pont family heir and wrestling enthusiast John E. du Pont's recruitment of Schultz and his older brother, Dave, also a 1984 Olympic gold medalist, to help coach US wrestlers for participation in National, World, and Olympic competition, and the tragic events that followed.[5] The majority of the movie was filmed in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area.

Foxcatcher entered the Palme d'Or in the main competition section at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, where Miller won the Best Director Award. The film had three Golden Globe Award nominations, including Best Picture.[6] The film was nominated for five Oscars at the 2015 Academy Awards, including a Best Actor nomination for Carell, Best Supporting Actor for Ruffalo and Best Director for Miller.[7] It is the first film to be nominated for Best Director but not Best Picture since 2008, when Julian Schnabel was nominated for The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, 2 years before the Academy extended its maximum number of Best Picture nominees to 10 films.[8]

Plot

Olympic wrestling champion Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) speaks at an elementary school in place of his older brother, Dave Schultz (Mark Ruffalo).[N 1] Both are Olympic gold medal-winning wrestlers, but despite his own achievements Mark feels overshadowed by Dave. Mark is contacted by philanthropist and wrestling enthusiast John E. du Pont (Steve Carell), an heir to the E.I. du Pont family fortune, who arranges to fly Mark to his estate in Pennsylvania where du Pont has built a private wrestling training facility. Du Pont then invites Schultz to join his wrestling team, "Team Foxcatcher", to train for the World Championship and be paid. Mark accepts the offer, with du Pont urging him to enlist his brother Dave as well. Dave declines for the sake of his wife and two kids who are settled where they live, so Mark moves to Pennsylvania alone.[N 2]

Mark stays in a homey guest house ("the chalet") and is greeted there later in the night by du Pont.[N 3] Through training with his new teammates and du Pont's financial support, Mark excels with Foxcatcher, winning Gold at the 1987 World Wrestling Championships. Du Pont praises him and they develop a kind of friendship. Du Pont introduces Mark to cocaine, which he starts to use regularly. He confides in Mark, whom he now calls a true friend, telling him how his mother, Jean du Pont (Vanessa Redgrave), paid a boy to act as his friend. Jean du Pont tells her son that she believes wrestling is a "low sport" and she doesn't like seeing him be low. One day, Mark and his teammates in Foxcatcher take a morning off from training to watch mixed martial arts (MMA) on TV. Angered by this (as well as Mark's insistence that his brother will not join Team Foxcatcher), du Pont verbally and physically rebuffs him, saying that he'll enlist Dave by any means necessary.

Dave decides to move with his family to Pennsylvania so he can join Foxcatcher.[N 4] His self-esteem damaged by du Pont, Mark decides to work and train alone, pushing du Pont and even Dave away. As Team Foxcatcher prepares to enter the preliminaries for the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, du Pont's mother is escorted into du Pont's gym to watch him coach his team. He awkwardly demonstrates basic maneuvers for her and the other wrestlers. Jean leaves in disgust after seeing du Pont give his back to his student.

At the 1988 Olympic Trials in Pensacola, Florida, Mark performs poorly, losing his first match. Angered by his failure, Mark destroys his room, sobs, and goes on an eating binge. Dave manages to break into his room and is alarmed at his brother's condition. They work feverishly so he can make his weight check. As Mark exercises, Dave prevents du Pont from speaking with Mark. Mark competes well enough to win his match and make the Olympic team. Dave notices that du Pont is absent, learning that he left for Pennsylvania after being told his mother died.[N 5] After returning to the estate, Mark tells Dave that "you and I both know that I can't stay" at Foxcatcher once the Olympics are over and asks Dave to leave with him. A documentary funded by du Pont about his exploits with Team Foxcatcher is made, during which Dave is asked to praise him as coach and mentor. Mark loses his matches in Seoul, after which he leaves Team Foxcatcher. While Dave continues to live at du Pont's estate and train with Foxcatcher, as a condition for his remaining, he negotiates an arrangement with du Pont to continue to support Mark financially.[N 6]

Later, du Pont is seen sitting alone in his mansion's trophy room watching the documentary about Team Foxcatcher, which ends with Mark complimenting du Pont at a ceremony depicted earlier.[N 7] Du Pont calls his bodyguard and drives to Dave's home, where he finds him in the driveway working on his car radio. As Schultz approaches du Pont's car to greet him, du Pont rolls down his window, asks Dave "Do you have a problem with me?", and shoots him at close range. Dave's wife, Nancy (Sienna Miller), calls 911, and as du Pont drives off, she runs outside to her husband who dies in her arms. Du Pont is arrested and the film ends showing Mark as he competes in a cage fighting match with the crowd's cheers ringing in his head.[N 8]

Subsequent events

Following Dave Schultz's death, his widow, Nancy, and their two children moved to Northern California where they still reside.[23] In June 1997, Schultz was posthumously inducted into the U.S. National Wrestling Hall of Fame.[24] Mark Schultz stopped wrestling competitively after the 1988 Olympic games and now lives in Oregon where he coaches wrestling as well as works as a freelance "life coach" and "inspirational speaker".[25] In November, 1999, John du Pont agreed in an out-of-court settlement of the civil suit filed against him by Nancy Schultz to pay Dave's three surviving heirs "at least $35 million", the largest amount resulting from a U.S. wrongful death suit ever paid directly by one person.[26]

A year after the shooting, du Pont, who had entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, went on trial at the Delaware County Courthouse in Media, PA. After three weeks of testimony followed by seven days of deliberation by the six man and six woman jury to consider eight distinct possible verdicts, on February 25, 1997 du Pont was found guilty but mentally ill of murder in the third-degree. He was subsequently sentenced by Common Pleas Judge Patricia Jenkins to 13 to 30 years in prison. According to then Delaware County District Attorney (now MC R-PA7) Pat Meehan, du Pont was the richest American ever tried for murder in the United States.[27][28][29] After a period of further psychiatric treatment at the Norristown State Hospital, du Pont was eventually transferred first to Cresson State Correctional Institution near Altoona, PA and later to Laurel Highlands State Prison in Somerset where he died on December 9, 2010 at age 72. Both facilities were formerly state-run mental hospitals. At the time of his death from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and emphysema, John du Pont had been incarcerated for murder for almost 15 years.[30]

Foxcatcher Farm was eventually sold and the one-and-a-quarter square mile estate broken up for development. A 123-acre segment is now occupied by the campus of The Episcopal Academy, a private independent K-12 school founded in 1785, which moved there in 2008 from split campuses located in the nearby Philadelphia Main Line communities of Merion and Devon.[31] The 90-year-old du Pont mansion, Liseter Hall, in which du Pont was raised and had lived for 57 years, was demolished in January, 2013.[32] The mansion stood on a 400-acre portion of the property that is now being developed by Toll Brothers into a "master planned community of 449 luxury homes" called Liseter Estate.[33]

Cast

Production

Bennett Miller began developing the project in 2010 after acquiring the rights to the story from Michael Coleman and Tom Heller.[34] Megan Ellison financed the film through her Annapurna Pictures, also producing alongside Miller, Jon Kilik, and Anthony Bregman.[35] Sony Pictures Classics became the distributor, taking over from Sony's Columbia Pictures, which had co-financed the film. Miller said "it's always been my hope and expectation that they (SPC) would distribute the film."[36]

Shooting began in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area on October 15, 2012, in and near the suburbs of Sewickley, Pennsylvania, Sewickley Heights, and Edgeworth.[37]

With du Pont's mansion, Liseter Hall, having been demolished in January, 2013, the filmmakers used Morven Park, an historic estate in Leesburg, Virginia with a similar facade, for exterior filming.[38] An 1899 mansion, Wilpen Hall, in the wealthy Pittsburgh suburb of Sewickley Heights, Pennsylvania, served as Foxcatcher's stand-in for the interior filming location for du Pont's Philadelphia area estate.[39] Filming also took place in the Pittsburgh area communities of Rector (Ligonier Township), McKeesport, White Oak, and Connoquenessing.[40][41][42] The production sought permission to shoot in West Mifflin Middle School in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania.[43] In December 2012, shooting took place in Washington, Pennsylvania, Trinity High School, the Petersen Events Center in the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Oakland, and the California University of Pennsylvania Convocation Center.[44][45][46][47] Filming was scheduled to last through January 2013.[37]

Channing Tatum stated that the role was "the hardest acting challenge I've had to date".[48]

The scene where the Foxcatcher team watches mixed martial arts on television in 1988 uses footage from Gary Goodridge's win over Paul Herrera at UFC 8, from February 1996. At UFC 9 that March, Mark Schultz made his MMA debut, defeating Goodridge. In the film, he is depicted facing a fictional opponent.

Release

A release date for Foxcatcher was originally set for December 20, 2013. The date was postponed to allow for more time to complete the film, according to Sony Pictures Classics.[49] The film debuted at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival in May 2014, in competition for the Palme d'Or, the festival's highest prize,[50] where director Bennett Miller won the Award for Best Director.[51] The film made its way through the late-2014 festival circuit, appearing at the Telluride, Toronto, New York, Vancouver and London film festivals.[52] Foxcatcher received a limited release on November 14, 2014.[53] The film opened across U.S. theaters through December 2014 and January 2015.[54]

Reception

Box office

Foxcatcher was given a limited release in North America and grossed $270,877 in its opening weekend from 6 theaters with an average of $45,146 per theater and ranking #24 at the box office. The widest release for the film domestically was 759 theaters and as of January 19, 2015, grossed $10,085,000.[3]

Critical response

Foxcatcher received acclaim from critics, with many praising the performances of Carell, Tatum, and Ruffalo.[55][56] Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a rating of 88%, based on 200 reviews, with an average rating of 7.9/10. The site's critical consensus states, "A chilling true crime drama, Foxcatcher offers Steve Carell, Mark Ruffalo and Channing Tatum a chance to shine -- and all three rise to the challenge".[57] On Metacritic the film has a score of 81 out of 100, based on reviews from 49 critics, indicating "universal acclaim."[58]

Justin Chang of Variety praised the film, writing: "Steve Carell, Mark Ruffalo and Channing Tatum give superb performances in Bennett Miller's powerfully disturbing true-crime saga."[55] Eric Kohn of Indiewire also reacted positively, with most of his praise going towards Carell's and Tatum's performances.[56] Donald Clarke of The Irish Times praised Miller's direction, saying that "he [Miller] hits his stride with a stunning portrayal of psychopathy and moral decadence in the unlikely environment of Olympic wrestling."[59] Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter praised Carell's performance, calling it "career changing."[60]

Budd Wilkins of Slant Magazine gave the film a negative review, writing that it "offers us next to nothing of utility or complexity about du Pont's pathology."[61]

Mark Schultz's reaction to the movie has been varied due to the intensely personal subject matter. He supported the film in general throughout its creation and served as a consultant. At one point he became angry and criticized Bennett Miller after critics pointed out "homosexual undertones" in the portrayal of the relationship between Mark Schultz and du Pont. Schultz then demanded Miller address the issue "or I will."[62][63] Schultz said that "Foxcatcher's scenes are mostly straight out of my book (except a few). But the relationships and personalities are complete fiction."[64][65] Several weeks after these statements, Schultz recanted criticisms of the movie, saying "'Foxcatcher' is a miracle. I'm sorry I said I hated it. I love it," and apologized to Miller.[66]

Notes

  1. ^ The date seen in the film being written by the school clerk on the $20 check to pay Schultz for his speech is "March 14, 1987" which was almost a year after he had first been contacted by John du Pont in the early spring of 1986 and more then four months after he had already moved to Pennsylvania shortly after the 1986 World Wrestling Championships had been held in late October.[9]
  2. ^ The first time Mark Schultz ever spoke to John du Pont in the spring of 1986 was not in person at the du Pont estate as shown in the film, but by telephone while Schultz was at his then home in Palo Alto, CA. The purpose of du Pont's multiple calls to Schultz that spring and summer were to recruit him to take a job as an assistant coach at what would prove to be an ill fated and short lived wrestling program that du Pont was then establishing at nearby Villanova University located on the Philadelphia Main Line some five miles from his estate of which du Pont would be the titular "coach". Mark's first in person meeting with du Pont did not take place until several months later when Chuck Yarnell, then the wrestling coach at the Haverford School and soon to be the head coach at Villanova, introduced him to du Pont at his hotel in Bloomington, IN, in late August, 1986 while Mark was there competing in the 1986 World Wrestling US Team Trails. It was not until mid September, 1986 that Schultz actually first visited du Pont's sprawling 800-acre (1.25 sq mi) estate, originally called "Liseter Farm" but renamed "Foxcatcher Farm" by du Pont after the death of his mother in August, 1988, which was located along North Newtown Street Rd (PA RT 252) beginning at Goshen Rd in the Philadelphia western suburb of Newtown Square in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.[10] While the film depicts the 14,000-square foot, $600,000 wrestling training facility called the "Foxcatcher National Training Center" that du Pont established on the estate as already existing when Mark first visited and then moved to Pennsylvania in 1986, it was actually not built and opened until three years later in mid 1989.[11][12] The wrestling facilities that du Pont showed Mark Schultz during his initial visit were those at Villanova's Butler Annex.[13]
  3. ^ While the film depicts Mark being installed in "the chalet" as its sole resident when he moved to Pennsylvania in late 1986, it was actually du Pont himself who lived there at the time. Instead, Mark originally lived several miles from the du Pont estate in a "one-bedroom apartment in a middle-class, blue-collar neighborhood three miles from the Villanova University campus" that he rented at his own expense for $800 a month and which he described as like "living in a cramped utility room." It was not until du Pont fired Mark from the Villanova program late in 1987 (the University shut it down altogether in 1988 after just two seasons) that he actually moved to the du Pont estate to live while training for the 1988 Olympics. There he was provided a rent free "very small bedroom" in one wing of the chalet which he occupied until December, 1988 when he left Foxcatcher and moved to Colorado Springs, CO and then, after getting married later in 1989, to Provo, UT .[14]
  4. ^ While Dave Schultz also joined du Pont's wrestling club right after the 1986 World Championships as well, he did not leave his full time job as an assistant coach at the University of Wisconsin to move to Foxcatcher as an in residence assistant coach at du Pont's then just opened training center until mid 1989. Mark and Dave Schultz thus never actually lived or trained at Foxcatcher at the same time as is implied in the movie.[15]
  5. ^ The 1988 Olympic Wrestling Trials were held in Pensacola, FL, from June 15 to 18. John du Pont's mother, Jean Liseter du Pont, did not pass away until almost eight weeks later at the du Pont mansion on August 9, 1988 at age 91.[16]
  6. ^ The ongoing joint payment arrangement for Dave and Mark had actually been insisted upon and negotiated with du Pont by Mark Schultz in 1986, not by Dave when he arrived in Pennsylvania in 1989.[17]
  7. ^ While the film is silent on the issue, about six-and-a-half years had passed between the time that Dave Schultz arrived at Foxcatcher in mid 1989 (and seven years since Mark Schultz left in December, 1988) and when du Pont murdered Dave early in the afternoon of Friday, January 26, 1996.[18][19] John du Pont’s interest in wrestling had begun to wane in 1995 and that year he advised USA Wrestling that the $400,000 annual contributions he had been making to that organization since 1989 would cease in 1996. With that, Dave Schultz informed du Pont that he would be leaving Foxcatcher after the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta to accept a coaching position at Stanford University. At the time of Dave's death, Mark had been coaching wrestling at Brigham Young University in Provo UT, for more than six years.[20]
  8. ^ After shooting Dave three times with a .44 Magnum handgun, du Pont drove back to the mansion in his Lincoln Town Car where he holed up alone and heavily armed in a windowless, steel-lined "vault" on the first floor that his mother had installed many years earlier as a bomb shelter and that du Pont used as his library and "snorting" room. Within hours of the murder, a force of some 75 police officers from ten local departments that included a 30-man SWAT team surrounded the mansion, beginning a 48-hour siege of the property. On Saturday, police shut down the mansion's central heating system leading du Pont to leave it on Sunday to walk to the nearby garden house in order to restart the boilers located there. As du Pont did so, he was arrested by officers of the Newtown Township police, a department of which he had been a heavy financial supporter and badge carrying volunteer member since the 1970's. Taken into custody without any shots being fired, du Pont was charged with first degree murder and held without bail at Delaware County Prison.[21][22]
  1. ^ Foxcatcher filed for a $6.07 million tax credit with Pennsylvania,[2] and Pennsylvania's film production incentive program awards a 25% tax credit.[2] ($6.07 x 4 = 24.28)
