Non-profit American Cinematheque will host FraserThon, a marathon showing of four of Brendan Fraser’s most beloved films, to honor the actor’s comeback.
With the Academy Awards fast approaching, American Cinematheque looks to honor first-time Best Actor nominee Brendan Fraser for his massively-beloved comeback performance in The Whale. The non-profit organization will host Fraser-Thon, a marathon showing of four of the actor's beloved films, at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica, California, according to Variety.
The films in question that will be showcased are meant to sum up all facets of his 30-year career from his younger years as a heartthrob movie star to now as a beloved showstopper. It'll kick off with 1992's School Ties, a coming-of-age drama directed by Robert Mandel which features Fraser in the starring role opposite Matt Damon.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Also on the slate is Fraser's other 1999 film, the Hugh Wilson rom-com Blast From the Past. Although it tanked at the box office, the film featured a strong cast led by Fraser in a quirky premise with Alicia Silverstone, Sissy Spacek, and Christopher Walken. In it, Fraser played a man who lived his whole life in a bomb shelter with his parents only to emerge at the age of 35 and discover there was no Soviet nuclear war and that he is way behind the times.
Tickets Are on Sale for the Fraser-Thon in Santa Monica Anyone looking to attend the Fraser-Thon can now purchase tickets for the event exclusively from American Cinematheque's website. The whole evening kicks off at 6 p.m. PST with School Ties followed by The Whale at 8:00 p.m. with a Q&A and a special guest, The Mummy at 10:40 p.m. with an introduction from Fraser, and finally, Blast From the Past at 12:45 a.m.
