Hollywood travesty that he should be off our screens for so long.

One other fan tweeted, “Seeing Brendan Fraser at it again makes my heart SO HAPPY!! hoping this new chapter of life brings him his deserved rewards!” “You have just made a Brendan Fraser fan very happy with that new picture from The Whale. Thank you,” another supporter of Fraser’s commented. The film is directed by Darren Aronofsky, and will star Fraser as Charlie, an English teacher who suffers from a compulsive eating disorder while attempting to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter, Ellie, who is played by Stranger Things star Sadie Sink. The film is an adaptation of Samuel D. Hunter’s 2012 play of the same name. The Whale will also feature stars like Hong Chau, Samantha Morton, and Ty Simpkins. The nearly two-hour film is set to make its premiere at the 2022 Venice Film Festival. Fraser will also appear in two more upcoming films: Batgirl and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon.
