Brendan Fraser Plays Lead Role In Movie, 'the Whale'
Distributor A24 has unveiled a first look image at Brendan Fraser as a man struggling with obesity in new
upcoming movie, The Whale.The film marks Fraser's first leading role in a decade.
Adapted for film by Samuel D. Hunter from his own award-winning play of the same name,
The Whale follows Fraser as a 42-stone man living as a social recluse. His lifestyle changes when the opportunity arises to reconnect with his estranged 17-year-old daughter, played by Stranger Things star, Sadie Sink.
The Whale is Aronofsky's first directorial outing since his controversial 2017 film Mother! which starred Jennifer Lawrence as a woman descending into a nightmare due to unwanted house guests.
Speaking on his role, Fraser described The Whale as "like something you haven't seen before" and teased his prosthetic-aided transformation in a recent interview.
"The wardrobe and costume was extensive, seamless, cumbersome. This is certainly far removed from anything I’ve ever done but not to be coy... I do know it’s going to make a lasting impression.”
"This story is deeply personal and I'm very thankful it will have the chance to reach a wider audience.
The Whale has not yet been scheduled for a UK release.
