But the latest trailer teases a down-right chilling performance from Steve Carell. The film is based on the true story of how millionaire philanthropist John du Pont mentored amateur wrestlers, including Schultz, and eventually was driven to murder his brother Dave (Mark Ruffalo). The latest trailer for the movie, which has already garnered Oscar buzz after it was shown at the Cannes Film Festival in May, focuses on Carell’s du Pont, as he ruminates over the athletes he’s trying to shape — and perhaps manipulate. “There are some psychological issues that we need to take care of,” says Carell’s character says, in one particularly ominous moment. It’s a role unlike any other that _The Office_ star has taken on before, but if the trailer is any indication, he has the sinister, deranged du Pont nailed. The film hits theaters on Nov. 14. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3246148/steve-carell-channing-tatum-foxcatcher-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3246148/steve-carell-channing-tatum-foxcatcher-trailer/"},"headline":"Watch Steve Carell in the Creepy New Foxcatcher Trailer","datePublished":"2014-09-01T13:19:01.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T09:57:13.730Z","description":"The film, which also stars Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo, already has Oscar buzz","url":"https://time.com/3246148/steve-carell-channing-tatum-foxcatcher-trailer/","keywords":["movies","Channing Tatum","Trailers","Foxcatcher","Mark Ruffalo","Oscar"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltaa5dc28453fe190f/6986a19b55a8598151a82600/7c055421-83f7-4c2e-b304-b6f524bb383a.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Gibson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/megan-gibson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltaa5dc28453fe190f/6986a19b55a8598151a82600/7c055421-83f7-4c2e-b304-b6f524bb383a.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"FOXCATCHER","caption":"FOXCATCHER","creditText":"Scott Garfield—Fair Hill, LLC","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3246148/steve-carell-channing-tatum-foxcatcher-trailer/","name":"Watch Steve Carell in the Creepy New Foxcatcher Trailer"}}]}] ```
