    FOXCATCHER Written by E. Max Frye & Dan Futterman INT. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN GYM - VERY EARLY MORNING MARK SCHULTZ (27, 180 lbs., cauliflower ears) lifts a human- sized, leather WRESTLING DUMMY from the mat to stand in front of him. He performs a series of repetitive moves - hooking one arm under the dummy's arm, then the other; one side, then other. Again and again. It looks almost as if he's dancing gently with it. Then, very fast, Mark spins quickly around behind the dummy, grabs it in a bear hug, arches his back, lifts and SLAMS it to the mat, landing on top. QUICK CUTS: Mark spinning, lifting and slamming the dummy - first one way, then the other - first one hold, then another - SLAM. SLAM. SLAM. SLAM. SLAM - over and over and over again. CUT TO: I/E. BARABOO SCHOOL/PARKING LOT - LATE MORNING Mark pulls his beat-up car into a space in the parking lot of this nondescript, 1960s-era suburban brick-facade school. He's freshly showered, wears a short-sleeve dress shirt, clip- on tie, slacks. He reaches behind the front seat and pulls out a battered BROWN VINYL BRIEFCASE. CUT TO: INT.

Roberts* INTRODUCTION When I read last year’s deeply disturbing Rolling Stone article about dangerous fraternity hazing rituals at Dartmouth College,1 I—like most readers—was horrified. But unlike some readers, I was also mortified. Several months later, when I learned that U.S. News and World Reports had ranked Dartmouth first on its list of schools most committed to teaching2 and tenth among national universities overall,3 I felt proud. My reactions to both events were not just manifestations of affection for my alma mater. Rather, they stemmed from my awareness that public perceptions of Dartmouth shape perceptions of its alumni. Like all trademarks, university names serve as receptacles for goodwill.

While most fathers spend their days at work, CAM STUART (Mark Ruffalo) is more likely to be found mushroom-hunting, cooking elaborate meals, or working on one of his many half- completed projects. His family’s wealth keeps his family just barely afloat, while Cam struggles to live with manic depression. When Cam has a manic breakdown that lands him in a mental hospital, his wife MAGGIE (Zoe Saldana) and their two young daughters, AMELIA and FAITH, are forced to leave their house in the country and move into a cramped apartment in Cambridge, where Maggie tries to find a decent job, with no luck. Broke, stressed, and overwhelmed, Maggie applies to business school and is accepted to Columbia University’s MBA program. Seeing this as her chance to build a better life for their daughters, Maggie asks Cam to become the primary caregiver for the girls while she completes her degree in New York. After all, routine is what the doctor ordered and the girls miss their dad.
