Sienna Miller has reportedly signed onto Oscar-nominated director Bennett Miller’s (MONEYBALL, CAPOTE) next project, FOXCATCHER, which is ‘based on a true story’.
It’s not clear who Sienna will play, but we do know that funny man Steve Carell is set to portray the very wealthy John du Pont who, in the 1990s, built a huge wrestling training centre named Team Foxcatcher. One day, out of sheer undeclared madness and with no known motive, du Pont shot and killed his best friend David Schultz (Mark Ruffalo), an Olympic wrestler. He then locked himself in his mansion and had to be coaxed out by police officers.
MAGIC MIKE himself Channing Tatum has also put his name down for a role. If the film is set to follow exactly what happened that day, it looks like Ruffalo won’t be in FOXCATCHER for long…
