Brendan Fraser Brought to Tears As The Whale Receives 6-Minute Standing Ovation at Venice Film Festival: Watch
If the Venice Film Festival crowd’s reception to The Whale was any indication, Brendan Fraser’s long-deserved career comeback has advanced to the next (Oscar-buzzing) level. As Variety reports, the drama received a huge, six-minute standing ovation at the event, prompting Fraser to break down in tears. Directed by Darren Aronofsky and adapted from the play by Samuel D. Hunter, The Whale follows Fraser’s Charlie, a gay man who leaves his family to be with another man. When his partner dies, Charlie is driven to compulsive eating and eventually reaches 600 pounds. The film centers on Charlie’s attempt to reconnect with estranged daughter, played by Sadie Sink. Clearly, The Whale is intense, and it’s proven to be the perfect vehicle for Fraser’s return to Hollywood. After ...
“Tears in My Fucking Eyes”: Trent Reznor Praises Tribute to “Really Sweet Guy” Taylor Hawkins
Trent Reznor didn’t attend Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert, but like the rest of us, he was moved by the event from afar. The artist discussed watching the concert at a recent Nine Inch Nails show, praising the tribute as “very touching and sincere.” Nine Inch Nails performed at the Red Rocks Amphitheater on September 3rd, the same day the Taylor Hawkins tribute occupied London’s Wembley Stadium. During NIN’s show, Reznor asked the crowd, “Did any of you happen to catch the tribute to Taylor Hawkins today? I thought, ‘I’ll tune in, I knew Taylor. He was a really sweet guy.’ I know a lot of friends were playing, I started watching it, and three hours later I’m still watching. And I’ve got tears in my fucking eyes.” Reznor continued: “It got me thinking. If you haven’t seen...
“I’m Here”: Florence Pugh Attends Don’t Worry Darling Premiere Amid Reported Beef with Olivia Wilde
Don’t Worry Darling has been shrouded by rumors of cast in-fighting, an unprofessional workplace, and mistruths told to cover up the drama, and the film’s premiere at the Venice Film Festival really didn’t help put any gossip to rest. Star Florence Pugh, dodging the film’s press conference, strolled into the event late with a drink in her hand, while director Olivia Wilde stayed mum on questions about perceived tensions altogether. Rumors that Pugh and Wilde didn’t get along on the Don’t Worry Darling set have swirled for a while, but the gossip really seemed to be rooted in reality when the Venice Film Festival confirmed that Pugh would not attend the project’s press conference. The festival explained that Pugh was in Budapest filming Dune and that her flight wouldn’t get in unt...
