We've got a new one-sheet for Drafthouse Films' upcoming BULLHEAD, nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar! The film was a huge hit at Fantastic Fest 2011, and it's opening at these theaters on February 17. 

Star Matthias Schoenaerts spent two years preparing for his role as Jacky Vanmarsenille in Michaël R. Roskam's Academy Award-nominated film BULLHEAD, as you can see by his imposing physique on the new one-sheet.  After Schoenaerts committed to playing a long-time steroid user in the film, he underwent an extraordinary transformation, gaining sixty pounds of muscle.  Schoenaerts managed this remarkable accomplishment through "a diet of 3000 tins of tuna, several hundred chickens and plenty of oats, rice and pasta combined with an exhausting iron pumping workout regimen."

Schoenaerts will next star with Marion Cotillard in Jacques Audiards' (A PROPHET) RUST AND BONE, recently acquired by Sony Pictures Classics. See his "career-defining, powerfully physical lead performance" (VARIETY) in the Academy Award-nominated BULLHEAD.
