News broke yesterday that Brendan Fraser has been cast in Darren Aronofsky's next film. I've long been a fan of Brendan Fraser, I think it was all the times we had to watch George of the Jungle in the afterschool program I was in.
He's playing a 600 pound man which sounds quite interesting. I'm struggling to imagine how they will even do it, but I'm excited for it. Aronofsky is one of my favorite directors. The Wrestler and Black Swan are both my choices for Best Picture of their respective years and I nominate both mother! and Requiem for a Dream as well.
I'm excited to see whom gets cast alongside Fraser. Aronofsky always gets the best out of his performers. Ellen Burstyn, Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei and Natalie Portman all are my winners for acting awards for their performances in his films. I also nominate Jennifer Lawrence and Mila Kunis. I imagine Fraser will be in contention for my Best Actor prize for this performance.
