Steve Carell as you've never seen him before is featured in the haunting first teaser trailer for Bennett Miller's Foxcatcher.

That nose, that accent, a shocking true life murder, directed by Moneyball's Bennett Miller? Carell and Foxcatcher are certainly headed for the Oscars with this portrayal of John Eleuthère du Pont, an eccentric billionaire and sports fan who up and killed an Olympic wrestler (Mark Ruffalo, also somewhat physically transformed here) one day for no apparent reason.

Channing Tatum is also in the film and plays Ruffalo's brother and fellow Olympic wrestler, but looks like he will be severely overshadowed here.

Foxcatcher comes out on December 20th. Watch the trailer below while you can, because it's been getting yanked from some places.
