Brendan Fraser’s The Whale has a brand new trailer and viewers are curious about the new movie. In the A24 drama, The Mummy star plays a reclusive teacher trying to reconnect with his daughter. Most of the news cycle about this project has circled around Fraser’s big resurgence in Hollywood. It looks like he’ll be in line for some Awards Season love for this drama as well. But, it hasn’t come without its share of controversy. The choice by Darren Aronofsky to portray his star in a large suit for this lead role. While that has been a part of the conversation, Fraser is such a beloved figure for movie fans, it hasn’t overtaken his performance. The Rock lauded his efforts in The Whale and the Venice Film Festival crowd seemed to agree heartily. Now, will mainstream audiences go on this journey with the star? Fraser told Vanity Fair that it was his goal to showcase what he could still do when given the opportunity.
