Brendan Fraser’s look in Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale releases

A24 released the first look of Brendan Fraser in Darren Aronofsky’s  The Whale where the actor will be seen playing a 300 Kg man. Reportedly, the actors' extremely realistic, obese look was made possible through advanced prosthetics. The film is about an obese man who struggles to reconnect with his 17-year-old daughter. 

The film marks the return of Darren Aronofsky to the director's chair, nearly five years after Mother! in 2017. Brendan Fraser, known for The Mummy series, is also making a comeback to the big screens after a long hiatus. The actor was last seen in a supporting role in No Sudden Move directed by Steven Soderbergh.

A24 released the first look along with their lineup for the 79th Venice Film Festival. The production company is also premiering Ti West’s Pearl and Joanna Hogg’s The Eternal Daughter at the Venice Film Festival along with The Whale.

The film also stars Sadie Sink, Hong Chau, Samantha Morton, and Ty Simpkins. Although it has been confirmed to premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September, the makers are yet to announce a theatrical release date.
