Brendan Fraser to Lead in New Comedy Whole Lotta Sole for Terry George
Brendan Fraser will star in comedic heist picture Whole Lotta Sole, for director Terry George and produced by Jay Russell.
Terry George also wrote the script with Thomas Gallagher, and the plot centers on a young man getting himself into hot water when he tries to rob a fish shop in order to pay off a gambling debt. The heist goes terribly and humorously — the shopkeeper (Fraser) has his own issues, since he’s on the run from his gangster father-in-law. And when the situation quickly gets worse into a hostage situation, that’s when the comedy cranks up. In any case, that’s the plan.
Fraser had a rough 2010 with Extraordinary Measures and Furry Vengeance. Gods and Monsters (1998) proved he can act if he wants to, so maybe we’ll get to see some of that talent again with this comedy. He will next be seen in the rom-com Crazy, Stupid, Love alongside Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, and Marisa Tomei, scheduled for release on July 29th.
