Summary Brendan Fraser has been cast to play Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower in the upcoming D-Day movie Pressure, and it could be the next movie to earn the actor an Academy Award. The movie will chronicle the tense days leading up to the Normandy landings.
Hotel Mumbai’s Anthony Maras is set to direct the film, which will begin shooting in the UK in September. With a powerful true story from the Second World War and two Academy favorites playing the lead roles, Pressure could be a major Oscar contender when it finally gets a release. Fraser’s casting as Eisenhower could continue a great new career trend for the actor after his unprecedented Best Actor win for playing Charlie in The Whale.
Brendan Fraser Has Been Cast As Dwight D. Eisenhower In D-Day Movie Pressure Fraser will play the 34th President of the United States Fraser has been cast to play Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States, in Pressure. The film will take place in the 72 hours leading up to the D-Day landings. It sounds like the story will be a two-hander focusing on the relationship between Eisenhower and his most trusted weather expert as they figure out the best strategy for the invasion.
Pressure Could Be Brendan Fraser's Next Movie To Make It To The Oscars Pressure could follow in the footsteps of The Whale and Killers of the Flower Moon Since the Academy loves a good war movie – and loves when a famous actor plays a historical icon – Pressure could be Fraser’s next film to make it to the Oscars. Daniel Day-Lewis won an Oscar for playing Abraham Lincoln; Anthony Hopkins received nominations for playing both Richard Nixon and John Quincy Adams.
Fraser’s 2020s career comeback has been met with a lot of attention from the Academy. Not only did Fraser win Best Actor for his starring role in The Whale; his next film, Killers of the Flower Moon, was met with a boatload of nominations, too. Fraser himself wasn’t nominated, but the movie was nominated for 10 Oscars, including Best Picture. If the team can pull off the great movie it promises to be, then Pressure could continue Brendan Fraser’s Oscar streak.
