Upon the release of Bennett Miller‘s Foxcatcher, we shared a documentary made in 1988 that explores the wrestling compound created by millionaire John du Pont (portrayed by Steve Carell in the film), before he would go on to murder wrestler David Schultz eight years later. For those looking to dive deeper into the tragic story, a much more expansive documentary will premiere at Tribeca Film Festival ahead of a Netflix release and today brings the first trailer.
Coming from director Jon Greenhalgh, it explores John du Pont’s descent from philanthropist to murderer with exclusive new footage. “I’m proud to be a part of this film that was six years in the making to honor the incredible legacy of David,” said Nancy Schultz. “With his ties to the wrestling community, we felt Jon Greenhalgh was the perfect filmmaker to tell this story and pay homage to the kind of man and athlete David was.
