In addition to The Whale, Fraser has recently been cast in projects led by Martin Scorsese and Steven Soderbergh. But Charlie’s chronic binge-eating, brought on by the death of his gay lover, has led to obesity and a host of attendant issues complicating his relationship with Ellie.Īfter a long career, from an extra in Dogfight to lead roles in both blockbuster and prestige dramas, Fraser has appeared only scarcely onscreen in recent years.
The Whale stars Fraser as Charlie, a 600-lb English teacher hoping to reconnect with his daughter, 17-year-old Ellie, played by S tranger Things’ Sadie Sink. A24 has released the first trailer for their fall-festival breakout The Whale, a film that earned a six-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival in September, bringing Fraser to tears.
And so, for that matter, is director Darren Aronofsky. Brendan Fraser is back, after a long hiatus from Hollywood.
