Fraser took part in a conversation with broadcast journalist Hannah Storm (via People) at the Greenwich International Film Festival this week, and talked about the current Writers Guild of America strike. “I read the trades the other day.

Brendan Fraser Reacts To Batgirl Cancellation:
In August, DC fans were met with the shocking news that Warner Bros. Discovery decided to scrap the Batgirl film despite the fact that it had already wrapped filming. Fraser was set to play Garfield Lynns/Firefly in the project. In an interview with Variety, he opened up about the cancellation.
“It’s tragic,” Fraser explained. “It doesn’t engender trust among filmmakers and the studio. Leslie Grace was fantastic. She’s a dynamo, just a spot-on performer. Everything that we shot was real and exciting and just the antithesis of doing a straightforward digital all-greenscreen thing. They ran firetrucks around downtown Glasgow at 3 in the morning and they had flamethrowers. It was a big-budget movie, but one that was just stripped down to the essentials.” The actor added, “Everything that Adil and Bilall shot felt real and exciting.”
