Video: An unrecognisable Steve Carell stars in the very creepy trailer for Foxcatcher

He's a Wrestlemaniac...

Eoghan Doherty

Well, we say unrecognisable, but we obviously knew all along that it was Steve Carell… because we checked his IMDB page.

The actor, who is most well-known for his comedic performances, has undergone an incredible transformation to become multimillionaire and convicted murderer, John Eleuthère du Pont.

Foxcatcher is based on Olympic wrestling gold medallist Mark Schultz’s autobiography and tells the story of the murder of Schultz’s brother Dave at the hands of du Pont in 1996.

Directed by Bennett Miller (Moneyball, Capote) and co-starring the also transformed pairing of Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo as the Schultz brothers, this first peek at the 2014 release is very creepy, very unsettling and very intriguing.
