Hong Chau is about to star in a whale of a movie.
The actress, who recently appeared in the Amazon drama series
Homecoming and HBO’s highly acclaimed limited series
Watchmen, is the latest performer to join
The Whale cast for director
Darren Aronofsky. This will be his first film since 2017’s divisive
mother! – which, for the record, is fantastic. Brendan Fraser (
The Mummy) is already on board to play the male lead, and a new report says Chau is now on board as the female lead. That report also suggests that a
Minority Report actress and a
Stranger Things actress are in talks to play supporting roles in the movie, and you can find out more about that below.
