Bennett Miller is known for getting the best performances out of his actors, and thus for earning them Oscars. Philip Seymour Hoffman won Best Actor for Capote, and Brad Pitt is getting nods and buzz for Moneyball. Now, he’s possibly letting Channing Tatum (G.I. Joe) and Steve Carell (Evan Almighty) ride his coattails for a new film that’s already generating some Oscar talk.

The John Du Pont story is coming to the big screen in Miller’s Foxcatcher in 2012. Carell will play DuPont, a famous heir to a chemical fortune who suffered from serious paranoia. In 1996, he shot and killed Olympic wrestler David Schultz in his Pennsylvania facility. Tatum is in talks to play Schultz, who was killed at the age of 36 and left behind a wife and two children. The role would be dramatic gold.

Miller is picky with his projects – five years spaced Capote and Moneyball. He has been developing Foxcatcher for several years, however, and is producing it independently. The writers of Capote, E. Max Frye and David Futterman, are writing the script.

Movie Quotes

Wedding Crashers (2005)
John Beckwith:
Claire! Will you wait just a second? All I wanted is was a second alone with you so I could explain things. But I've never gotten that chance. Maybe I don't deserve it, so here goes. For longer than I care to remember, my business has been crashing weddings. I crashed weddings to meet girls. Business was good. I met a *lot* of girls. It was childish and it was juvenile.
Claire Cleary:
And pathetic.
John Beckwith:
Yeah. That's probably the best word to describe it. But you know what? It also led me to you, so it's hard for me to completely regret it. And that person that you met back at your folks' place? That was really me. Maybe not my name, I'm John Beckwith by the way. Or my job. But the feelings we felt; the jokes, the stupid laughs, that was all me. I've changed. I've realized something. I crashed a funeral today.
Jeremy Grey:
[mutters] Oh Jesus.
John Beckwith:
It wasn't my idea, I was basically dragged to it.

John Beckwith:
I went with Chazz who you forgot to tell me is totally insane. He also might be a genius because it actually does work, he's cleaning up.
Claire Cleary:
John!
John Beckwith:
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That's neither here nor there. Anyway, I saw this widow and she's a wreck. She has just lost the person she loved the most in this world and I realized we're all going to lose the people we love. That's the way it is, but not me. Not right now. Because the person *I* love the most is standing right here and I'm not ready to lose you yet. Claire, I'm not standing here asking you to marry me, I'm just asking you not to marry *him* and maybe take a walk, take a chance.
