The Whale is an upcoming psychological drama that stars Brendan Fraser in the lead role and the supporting cast includes Sadie Sink, Ty Simpkins, Samantha Morton, Hong Chau, Sathya Sridharan, Ryan Heinke and Huck Milner. The film is directed by Darren Aronofsky with a screenplay from Samuel D. Hunter. The film is from the studio which has given us most of the best indie films of this decade A24. Resurgence 90s action star Brenda Fraser would be seen in this film. He will be seen in a role he has hardly played. The Whale has an extremely simple yet impactful premise: “600-pound (272 kg) middle-aged Charlie tries to reconnect with his seventeen-year-old daughter. The two grew apart after Charlie abandoned his family for his lover, who later died. Charlie then went on to binge eat out of pain and guilt.” The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September and has now finally released a trailer ahead of its December release.
The Whale Trailer: Brendan Fraser is Unreal!
The trailer opens with shots of the house in which I’m assuming Brendan Fraser’s character stays in with his seventeen year daughter. The shots intercut with great reviews that the film has gotten from big sites. The trailer is in 4:3 aspect ratio, I’m not sure whether the film will be as well, but I don’t see why not. The trailer then shows us Sadie Sink’s character, Hong Chau’s character and then finally Brendan Fraser’s character. The film is being marketed on the shoulders of the great reviews that it has gotten.
Along with it the film has also gained a lot of attention from viewers due to it being the comeback role of Brendan Fraser and the role too is quite eccentric so the film is benefitting from that. I love the fact the trailer doesn’t give anything away about the film. It doesn’t even give us a full look at Brendan Fraser’s character. I wish more trailers would be like. Needless to say I’m super hyped about the film and I think it will be one of the emotional rides 2022 has to offer.
