Brendan Fraser is having a moment at the Venice International Film Festival.
But Fraser is charting what could be a major comeback starting with his transformative role in Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale,” which had its world premiere Sunday night at the festival.
Then, a few years ago, he saw a trailer for “a low-budget Brazilian movie” with Fraser and “a lightbulb went off,” he said.“Killers of the Flower Moon,” Beyond his physicality, Charlie is also a character with profound empathy and love for everyone around him, including his estranged daughter, Ellie, played by “Stranger Things” star “She’s got a lot of things to say so she comes in hot. But I think what she’s not expecting is someone who cares so much about her,” Sink said. “For someone like Charlie to see that there’s good in someone like Ellie, it’s throwing her for a loop.
“The Whale” was Aronofsky’s favorite kind of challenge — in that it had so many limitations. He learned long ago on 1998′s “Pi” that boundaries are “your gateway to freedom.” On that film, he only had $20,000 and a dream. he was limited to a house. And, in “The Whale,” it’s not just a single apartment, it’s also a character who doesn’t move much.
