Darren Aronofsky’s completed “The Whale” will not be released this year, this according my source connected. You can forget a Venice Film Festival bow, which has been a place where Aronofsky premiered four of his last five films.
The last film Aronofsky directed was the polarizing “Mother!” back in 2017. His rumored return to small-scale filmmaking, with “The Whale,” would mean something along the lines of “Black Swan,” “Requiem For A Dream,” The Wrestler,” and his 1998 debut film “Pi.”
According to DiscussionFilm, “The Whale” stars Brendan Fraser as a 600-hundred-pound recluse hiding away from the world and slowly eating himself to death. Talk about an insane concept. The film is based on Samuel D. Hunter’s divisive play
Expect an early 2022 release for this one.
