"Team Foxcatcher" will have its official debut at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City on April 18 ... then will be available for viewing on Netflix starting April 29.
Entertainment Weekly, in announcing the release of "Team Foxcatcher" on Tuesday, reported, "Told predominantly through the lens of David's wife, Nancy, director Jon Greenhalgh's film combines archival home videos and firsthand interviews to relive the events that led to murder. Du Pont had supported and developed a friendship with the Olympic medalist, but the relationship crumbled when the increasingly paranoid millionaire began to perceive David as 'his demon that was after him.'"
A two-minute trailer for "Team Foxcatcher" is available for viewing.
Hollywood entertainment website IndieWire.com wrote , "If you've only seen Bennett Miller's 'Foxcatcher,' you haven't seen it all. A new look at the world of John du Pont, his Team Foxcatcher wrestling outfit and wrestler Dave Schultz, the man that du Pont tragically murdered after attempting to mentor him for years, is getting a new look thanks to Jon Greenhalgh's massively unsettling and deeply researched documentary 'Team Foxcatcher.'"
IndieWire.com went on to say, "'Team Foxcatcher' promises to demystify the story, complete with new interviews and never-before-seen 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 in a statement. "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."
Jon Greenhalgh crafted the 2002 documentary "The Smashing Machine" on former wrestler-turned-MMA star Mark Kerr. What's more, he is also the son of Sonny Greenhalgh, who, for decades, was in charge of the wrestling program at the New York Athletic Club.
