Brendan Fraser has been a well-known face in Hollywood for over three decades starring in countless blockbusters and iconic roles, but despite that, his career was essentially dead until one role put him back in the spotlight.
'The Whale', starring a resurgent Brendan Fraser, has been one of the biggest hits of the early festival season, drawing minutes-long standing ovations. But... aside from Fraser, the film itself is not good.
I think it says a whole lot when a director has to explain what his film is trying to say; and Aronofsky certainly had something to say once the audience had enough to time to compose themselves after seeing Mother!...do we believe him?
Career collapses in Hollywood happen often, even to the biggest names in the industry, and indie circuits have been a major player in some of the industry's most notable redemption arcs.
The upcoming series, picked up by Darren Aronofsky, is being adapted from the June 'New York' magazine article "The Boss of the Beach," and its bursting at the seams with potential.
Aronofsky's latest endeavor was marketed as a horror film, but it turned out to be so much more than anybody asked for or expected.
