The Kids Are All Right writer/director Lisa Cholodenko is directing the film. The script was written
by Rob Lieber & Cholodenko.
Deadline reports that the role is Ben, Alexander’s dad. The book, one of the more entertaining and
humorous of the yarns you read endlessly to your kids at night, concerns young Alexander, who starts
a wretched day with the realization that the gum he fell asleep chewing is now hopelessly tangled in his
hair, and things get worse from there, to the point he threatens to chuck it all and move to Australia.

News on 'Foxcatcher'

- Channing Tatum talked about Foxcatcher in a recent interview with Collider:
You can watch it here (min 10:10-11:44)

Excerpt:
... I don’t know if we’re doing it this year. I’ve committed, I definately want to do it for sure. I think
he [Bennet Miller] is talking about Steve Carell for playing DuPont and I can’t wait for Carell to try
out next something a little more heavy and serious 'cause I think for sure he has it in him. And
DuPont is a little bizarre, he’s a little bit bizarre of a person and I don’t think there‘s anybody better
to play an entirely believable, a bit off-kiltered, kind of crazy person, but yet very very sweet at
times and very sort of scary at times.

'Moneyball' Director Will Team Up with Steve Carell for 'Foxcatcher'

Oscar nominated director Bennett Miller has been trying to get Foxcatcher, his film about the
life of convicted murderer John du Pont, off the ground since at least 2007.

Variety reports that Steve Carell, will play du Pont in one of the weirdest crime stories in recent
memory. The likely heir to the prominent du Pont family fortune, John opened up a training
facility for wrestlers on his Pennsylvania estate, and became friends with a number of athletes.
One in particular, Olympian freestyle wrestler Dave Schultz, was especially close with him. In
1996, du Pont shot and murdered Schultz in his driveway, later claiming Schulz was part of
some grand conspiracy to kill him.

Production is expected to start in March.
