A24 has premiered the first trailer for filmmaker Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale,” starring Brendan Fraser and Sadie Sink, which is getting a December 9th U.S. theatrical release by distributor A24.
The project, an adaptation of Samuel D. Hunter’s 2012 play, sees Fraser slap on a whole bunch of prosthetics to play a 600-pound (272 kg) middle-age recluse who tries to reconnect with his estranged 17-year-old daughter (Sadie Sink).
The film had an immensely successful world premiere at the 2022 Venice Film Festival and Fraser’s performance has been heralded. Hong Chau, Samantha Morton, Ty Simpkins and Sathya Sridharan co-star.
