Sad Brendan Fraser Interview
In todays edition of the internet being the internet, some folks are really mad at the new Mummyfor starring Tom Cruise instead of Brendan Fraser. Despite Cruises seemingly natural onscreen charisma and history of leading successful action franchises, the internet insists that Fraser star of the 99 film The Mummy, its 2001 sequel, The Mummy Returns, and the 08 threequel The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is the only man in Hollywood qualified to take on ancient Egyptian evil.
And since injustices of this magnitude shall not be tolerated, the internet is fighting back.
It all started when the trailer for Cruises Mummy which takes place at a much later time than Frasers, and therefore finds Cruise playing a totally different character was released on December 5th. Fans began to tweet sentiments like The Mummy is not THE mummy without Brendan Fraser #NotMyMummy, leading to #NotMyMummy trending on the social networking site.
At this, fans began to discuss Frasers noticeably stalled career a conversation also largely influenced by an article questioning why Hollywood wont cast Brendan Fraser anymore, which is still making the rounds on social media. Though hes recurring on the third season of Showtimes critically acclaimed The Affair, he hasnt made waves at the box office since 2008, when he starred in the critically panned Mummy threequeel and Journey to the Center of the Earth, alongside Josh Hutcherson.
One fan began a Change.org petition to Bring Brendan Fraser back into film/television, in which said fan (and 27,916 others, as of press time) petitions Netflix, HBO, Starz, Showtime, and Netflix CEO Reed Hastings to please consider Brendan for any upcoming shows/movies that are planned Please help us get Brendan back on his feet again, we miss him.
Brendan is a much loved actor worldwide, people are shocked that he wasnt at least offered a smaller role in the new Mummy movie, it reads. Brendan has been in multiple interviews recently and has appeared to be very down and out, and us loyal fans feel like we are obliged to help him in any way possible.
Theres also a SAVEBRENDAN subreddit, in which fans share news as well as ideas on how to get him back in the spotlight. (If yall want to improve his visibility, you should make funny reaction gifs involving him and share em on gif subreddits is currently top of the page.)
Meanwhile, over on Imgur, fans have been up-voting photos of Fraser to the top of the sites front page.
