>A 600-pound (272 kg) middle-aged man named Charlie (Fraser) tries to reconnect with his 17-year-old daughter (Sink). The two grew apart after Charlie abandoned his family for his gay lover, who later died. Charlie then went on to binge eat out of pain and guilt.
Cast:
* Brendan Fraser
* Sadie Sink
* Hong Chau
* Samantha Morton
* Ty Simpkins
* Sathya Sridharan
I’m really hoping this will be the movie that will push Brendan Fraser back into highly anticipated leading roles. It has everything going for it with an emotional synopsis and Darren Aronofsky of all people directing. We will have to wait and see.
I don’t understand why more people don’t talk about “The Quiet American” when discussing how good Brendan Fraser can be. Perfect casting, perfect execution. He subverted his “good clean boy” typecast beautifully in that film.
I’m happy that this actor is working again in the industry, such a great talent. Was a victim of sexual abuse by higher up who practically ruined his career and mental health. Became a recluse for many years.
Everyone’s making jokes at Brendan Fraser’s expense here, but as someone who’s seen the play this is based on, be prepared to be pretty thoroughly emotionally fucked up if the film does it justice. A really poignant and difficult look at our relationships and how they affect our self-worth.
I’ve been waiting a year to talk about this. I
got the spend two days on set helping a friend. This film is absolutely bonkers in the best way possible. Brenden is a sure fire Oscar contender,
Those are truly amazing prosthetics. I had to do research if it was cgi, or involving any kind of weight gain. Nope. Prosthetics. Absolutely incredible.
>A reclusive English teacher suffering from severe obesity attempts to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter for one last chance at redemption.”
This is going to be his benchmark role before he loses a ton of weight and makes the acting comeback of the century

Holy shit, he’s really going for it.
I hope this movie is really fucking good because i’d love to see Fraser get some awards.

reddit mod documentary?
I’m so glad Brendan is getting back into movies. He was dragged through hell.
Somewhere out there, Christian Bale is envious he didn’t get the role.
I’m happy that this actor is working again in the industry, such a great talent. Was a victim of sexual abuse by higher up who practically ruined his career and mental health. Became a recluse for many years.
From MUMMY to DADDY
Thank god Christian bale didn’t get this role
This in the Brendanaissance, he is also starring in Batgirl and the next Martin Scorcese film with Di Caprio and De Niro.

Finally a movie about microtransactions.
I’m rooting so hard for Brendan. It would be a incredible if he gets an Oscar nom for this. He’s gonna kill it.
I had to look twice cuz I could’ve sworn I saw Rodney Dangerfield
>A24

This was made for the frontpage.
