The Brendan Fraser renaissance is on.<\/b>
\nAfter appearing in hit ( The Mummy trilogy) after hit ( George of the Jungle) after hit ( Bedazzled) after weirdo cult hit ( Monkeybone) in the 1990s and 2000s, Brendan Fraser\u2019s career slowed down. He was in the occasional box office success, like Journey to the Center of the Earth and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, but he largely vanished from the public eye due to numerous factors, including, he believes, being backlisted from the industry after speaking out about an alleged sexual assault by producer Philip Berk. Fraser went five years, from 2014 to 2019, without appearing in a film, but like Matthew McConaughey before him, the renaissance is on. It began with Showtime\u2019s The Affair. Then came FX\u2019s The Trust ( he wore a cowboy hat) and a lead role on the DC Universe-turned-HBO Max series Doom Patrol. He has since been cast in three movies from Oscar-nominated filmmakers: Steven Soderbergh\u2019s No Sudden Move, where he gives a scene-stealing performance; Darren Aronofsky\u2019s The Whale, along with Hong Chau; and as Deadline reported on Tuesday, Martin Scorsese\u2019s Killers of the Flower Moon. (Maybe Marty doesn\u2019t like Marvel movies because he\u2019s a DC stan.) [ Killers of the Flower Moon] from Apple TV + and Paramount Pictures is a crime drama, based on the bestselling book of the same name by David Grann. It\u2019s set in 1920s Oklahoma and will examine the serial murder of members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation, a string of brutal crimes that came to be known as the Reign of Terror. Fraser will appear alongside Oscar winners Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, Emmy nominated Jesse Plemons, and more. We hear that he will play lawyer WS Hamilton. This is like Quentin Tarantino putting John Travolta in Pulp Fiction, hopefully minus everything that came after for Travolta. Anyway, Fraser being in Scorsese\u2019s $200-plus million film was celebrated by everyone who\u2019s watched The Mummy on cable a million times, which, honestly, should be everybody.
