A24 has released the first look at Brendan Fraser’s new movie The Whale. Fraser will play a reclusive English teacher living with a compulsive eating disorder. He attempts to reconnect with his 17-year-old daughter Ellie (played by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stranger Things' Sadie Sink) for one last chance atꦦ redemption. 

Darren Aronofsky directs the film, which is his first since the release of Mother! in 2017. The Whale also stars Hong Chau, Samantha Morton, Huck Milner, ꩲand Ty Simpkins.

: "It's gonna be like something you haven't seen before. That's really all I can tell you. 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."

The A24 film marks Fraser's first major leading role since 2013’s Breakout, which was a direct-to-DVD action movie. However, his roster is looking pretty full over the next few years following on from a supporting part in Steven Soderbergh’s No Sudden Move in 2021. Next, Fraser will appear in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Martin Scorsese’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Killers of the Flower Moon and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:HBO Max’s Batgirl.

The Whale will have its world premiere as part of the 2022 Venice Film Festival. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ol🌜ivia 🅺Wilde's Don’t Worry Darling will also screen at the Lido, as will 🌳澳洲幸运5开奖号码历꧙史查询:Netflix's new Adam Driver movie White Noise. Other A24 movies also debuting include Joanna Hogg's The Eternal Daughter starring Tilda Swinton and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ti West's Pearl, starring Mia Goth.
