"The Whale" is directed by Darren Aronofsky and is based on the acclaimed play by Samuel D. Hunter of the same name.

After a brief hiatus from acting, "The Whale" signifies a triumphant comeback for the actor, which has been dubbed by many as the "Brennaissance".

The role also led to Fraser being a front-runner in the Best Actor category of the Academy Awards.
