Watch Channing Tatum In Foxcatcher, the Film That Could Earn Him an Oscar Nomination
By Julie Miller
If the rave reviews from Cannes are to be believed, Channing Tatum could earn his very first Oscar nomination for the surprisingly deft dramatic performance he gives in Bennett Miller's Foxcatcher. Based on the chilling real-life story of two brothers and Olympic wrestlers, Mark (Tatum) and Dave Schultz (Mark Ruffalo), who become destructively entangled with an eery du Pont heir and sponsor (played by Steve Carell), the film has earned early praise for the performances it culls from its two more comedy-bent actors. Take a sneak peak at both Tatum and Carell in the trailer below and read Richard Lawson's full review of the potential awards contender here.
The film opens in theaters on November 14 and has already earned one award—the best-director honor at Cannes for Miller, who previously directed Philip Seymour Hoffman to an Oscar in 2005's Capote.
