TBA Studios brings Brendan Fraser’s comeback movie “The Whale” to Philippine cinemas

The highly anticipated and much talked-about drama, “The Whale” starring Brendan Fraser, is coming to the Philippines this February 22.

Academy Award-winning director, Darren Aronofsky (“Black Swan”, “Mother!”), helms what critics have touted as Fraser’s “triumphant comeback”.

The actor, who’s known for his leading man roles in films like “Bedazzled”, “George of the Jungle”, and the mega blockbuster franchise “The Mummy”, took over a decade of break before returning to the big screen.

Fraser’s portrayal of a reclusive English teacher who attempts to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter has since earned him nominations in the Golden Globe Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards to name a few, and the top bet to win the Academy Awards for Best Actor.

“The Whale” is based on the acclaimed play by Samuel D. Hunter. It also stars Sadie Sink (“Stranger Things”) and Hong Chau (“The Menu”), who also received a Best Supporting Actress nod from major award-giving bodies for her role in the film.

BRIA Homes and the Year That Was

a banner year for the company.

In the Philippines and elsewhere in the world, each new calendar year brings fresh resolve to make worthwhile changes in life—from upgrading one’s domicile to recharging career goals. These were sectors in which top-tier residential property developer BRIA Homes excelled, making the year 2022 a banner year for the company.

To start with, it was the year when BRIA further affirmed its status as the most trusted provider of affordable homes in the Philippines. At no time was this more evident than when BRIA was on a roll, building comfortable, well-designed housing units in multiple projects nationwide, while making homeownership more accessible for the average Filipino.
