Fox News
The first photo of Brendan Fraser in "The Whale" as a 600-pound grieving loner was released on Tuesday by the movie's studio, A24, via Twitter.
Aronofsky's film is adapted from a play by Samuel D. Hunter that focuses on the life of a 600-pound man named Charlie, who is seeking to reunite with his estranged teenage daughter after abandoning his wife and child for a gay lover. Charlie became morbidly obese after developing a compulsive eating disorder to deal with his lover's death.
Fraser will also be starring alongside "Stranger Things" actress Sadie Sink, who plays his 17-year-old daughter, Hong Chau, Samantha Morton, and Ty Simpkins. An official release date has not been announced.
