To everyone’s delight, the Brenaissance is now underway, with the beloved actor Brendan Fraser due to star in several major releases in the near future. The next step is The whale from director Darren Aronofsky, who finds Fraser as a 600-pound man named Charlie who faces several personal struggles as he attempts to reconnect with his estranged daughter. The whale will see Fraser transform like never before, with the actor now revealing how such a change will be achieved.
“The real task was to authentically create this character with all the tools we have with makeup, prosthetics, costume construction and a bit of CGI to make sure that this man’s body shape obeys the laws of physics and gravity. »
Appearing at the recent GalaxyCon Raleigh, Fraser revealed that the stunning transformation will largely be achieved using a combination of CGI and prosthetics, with the recent first image of The whale demonstrating how well this approach worked.
“I can attest that this project was made by craftsmen of all categories,” added Fraser.
Fraser will direct Darren Aronofsky The whale, which tells the story of a 600-pound middle-aged man named Charlie who tries to reconnect with his 17-year-old daughter. Sadie Sink, who is best known for starring in Netflix stranger things and the street of fear trilogy, will star as Ellie, Charlie’s daughter, the two parting ways after Charlie abandons his family for his gay lover, who later died, leaving him bulimic with pain and guilt. Written by Samuel D. Hunter and based on his play of the same name, The whale stars Hong Chau, Samantha Morton and Ty Simpkins alongside Fraser and Sink.
While the use of CGI and prosthetics to turn Brendan Fraser into a 600 pound man (that’s 272 kg for our friends using the metric system) has sparked some debate, many are just happy to see Brendan Fraser return after all these years and star in what is sure to be a very high profile picture.
Brendan Fraser has several major films in the works alongside The Whale
Speaking of prestigious images, The whale is just one of many ongoing projects for Brendan Fraser. The Mummy The star is ready to star in the next Martin Scorsese western The Moonflower Slayers alongside actor icons Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro. The film details a period in which several members of the Osage tribe in the United States were murdered under mysterious circumstances in the 1920s, sparking a major FBI investigation involving J. Edgar Hoover.
Earlier this year, Fraser added his name to the period crime thriller No sudden movement, which finds the actor under the direction of Steven Soderbergh and alongside Don Cheadle, Benicio del Toro, David Harbour, Jon Hamm and Amy Seimetz. Fraser is also set to star alongside Josh Brolin, Peter Dinklage and Glenn Close in the comedy Brothersand lead the next Behind the curtain of night. Unfortunately, Fraser’s ugly trick bat girl is now unlikely to be seen due to the film’s surprise cancellation.
The whale is now due to have its world premiere at the 79th Venice International Film Festival in September 2022.
