Brendan Fraser On His Upcoming Bollywood Film, "The Field"
68 replies, posted
I'd really love to see Brendan make a career comeback tbh. He deserves it more than anyone else, because of his acting skill and not just his current financial situation.
why is it that he hasnt been able to land any good roles? Is it just because people dont want him?
thats the face of a man who's deprived of all he had

Did you see "Journey to the Center of the Earth"?

Yeah but Nick Cage does worse all the time

Prenup is a false sense of confidence in the US. Judges have the authority to negate them if you made a "substantial" increase to your wealth during the time you were married such that it would be "unfair" to your spouse to keep the prenup agreement. They can and [I]have[/I] negated prenups.
I'm not against marriage but the only winning move is not to play if it concerns you that much.

He was in a couple of bad movies (he wasn't even bad in them) and he had a weird laugh at the [del]Oscars[/del] Golden Globes that he got ridiculed for. His career was ruined because of a couple of flops and having fun, even though he's a fine actor and a good guy all round.
And then his wife divorced him and got bullshit alimony on top of it all.
jesus, I couldn't even make it a few seconds into the video before i had to stop it because I started tearing up. you can see the years of pain in his eyes and hear it even more in his voice. I hope he's okay
I feel like he needs to try and focus on TV and try to build his rep back up by landing a part in something big. Sort of like how Breaking Bad has rejuvenated Bryan Cranstons career.

But Journey To The Center Of The Earth by the looks of it was a moderate success, made way more than its production budget back and was a relatively well received by critics.
I think it was the fact that Brendan chose not to return to the sequel and then did Furry Vengeance instead which caused this downward spiral.

Hardly worth being ridiculed for. The fuck.
I don't even like Brendan Fraser but holy fuck he looks dead inside.

Yes, that. People decided to mock him, and later not hire him, because of that. That's how fucking petty Hollywood is.
Jesus he seems scared to speak, I hope he pulls through eventually.
I honestly feel really bad for him, also I just stumbled on these, haven't watched them yet, they are from Critikal or penguinz0, forgot what he calls himself.

I hope one day enough big stars and movie directors says "go eat a banana Hollywood" and go independent. Independent films deserve more success like indie games do, because Hollywood are absolute dickheads.

Yeah I think being on TV would help get him back on track. It sucks that one bad movie and two seconds of looking odd on candid camera at the Golden Globes could lead to his falling out with Hollywoodl.
Also, Furry Vengeance? That sounds disturbingly...
Oh.

If something that normal is enough for someone to lose roles for, how is Jennifer Lawrence not bankrupt yet for how many retarded things she's done in the past couple years
I feel so fucking bad for him. He seems destroyed like he has lost all of his self-confidence.

Just saw this on /TV/ earlier today. I have no idea if these things are effective - but I figured it's a nice gesture regardless. Poor dude needs a break.
It sucks to see him this rundown, he's so good in any role he plays :( I even loved his george of the jungle movies, my absolute guilty pleasure

I don't think a man can sound more broken.

where are you getting this from? is it that "why hollywood won't cast brendan fraser anymore" video? because i'm pretty sure those are mass-produced, poorly sourced garbage. i sincerely doubt that clap influenced his standing in hollywood in any significant way

Unless you're saying he deserves better than having the context removed, then yes, I agree.
It's no wonder Brendan Frasier's doing Bollywood; cause they have yet to ruin his life or belittle him in any fashion.

Naah, he's white, they'll adore him over here - if he learns Hindi he might just be the next [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Alter"]Tom Alters[/URL]. Hell, we have a former porn star, Sunny Leone, doing mainstream Bollywood movies here now and while she gets some shade for it, she gives zero fucks and is doing great.
Besides, a whole generation of kids here, including me, grew up watching him in the Mummy and we don't give a fuck about his personal circumstances so if he gets a cheesy role in a decent film, why not?
