Hi-Res Domestic Poster For The Oscar-Nominated BULLHEAD

One of this year’s nominees in Best Foreign Language film category is a Belgian film, BULLHEAD and I’ve received the U.S. theatrical one-sheet for the film..

60 POUNDS OF MUSCLE
The one-sheet showcases Schoenaerts’ hulking frame. He spent two years preparing for his role as raging bull “Jacky Vanmarsenille” in Michaël R. Roskam’s Academy Award-nominated film BULLHEAD. In order to play the role of a longtime steroid user in BULLHEAD, Schoenaerts committed to a remarkable physical transformation, adding 60 pounds of muscle on his naturally slender frame. He accomplished this feat with 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.
Matthias Schoenaerts will next be seen starring with Marion Cotillard in RUST AND BONE from director Jacques Audiards (A PROPHET), which was just acquired by Sony Pictures Classics. BULLHEAD is a stunning showcase for this rising star.
BULLHEAD is nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It opens in NY/LA/Austin on February 17…

SYNOPSIS
Perhaps the year’s most stunning international debut, Michael R. Roskam’s BULLHEAD is a harrowing tale of revenge, redemption and fate. Domineering cattle farmer Jacky Vanmarsenille (Matthias Schoenaerts in a ferocious breakout performance), constantly pumped on steroids and hormones, initiates a shady deal with a notorious mafioso meat trader. When an investigating federal agent is assassinated and a woman from his traumatic past resurfaces, Jacky must confront his demons and face the far-reaching consequences of his decisions. Acclaimed at festivals worldwide including the Berlin Film Festival, AFI Fest and Fantastic Fest, the award-winning BULLHEAD is visceral thriller bursting with rage that TwitchFilm calls “one of the most original crime films in recent memory.”
