Why It's Going To Rock: Steve Carell & Channing Tatum On Fire The trailer for Foxcatcher is so good that it leaves you feeling breathless and stunned. And indeed, we kind of already know that this movie is going to be downright awesome because lots of reviews are already in, which means we're cheating slightly, but oh well. So Foxcatcher stars Steve Carrell and Channing Tatum in what appears to be their most accomplished roles so far. Carell looks plainly transformative; Tatum looks intense. The story told here is a true one, concerning "Olympic Wrestling Champion Mark Schultz (Tatum) and how paranoid schizophrenic John du Pont (Carrell) killed Schultz's brother, Olympic Champion Dave Schultz." There is a scene in the trailer which shows Tatum relentlessly smashing a mirror, and there is something so raw and terrifying about the sequence that it pretty much demands that you hand over your money and check it out.
