The mural was created with spray paint and executed in Eaton’s signature collage style, which mixes pop art and traditional techniques.

Zack Sharf A24 stunned moviegoers in late July when it debuted the first look at Brendan Fraser in Darren Aronofsky’s “The Whale.” The drama, adapted from Samuel D.

A new report on the film published by Vanity Fair confirms that Fraser’s prosthetics were created by Adrien Morot, who worked with the director on “Noah” and who also worked on “The Revenant” and “X-Men: Days of Future Past.” Morot used a digital sculpture and a 3D printer to make Fraser’s prosthetic suit for “The Whale.” “I looked at other body suits that had been used in comedies over the years, usually for a one-note joke,” Fraser told Vanity Fair about the suit. “Whether intended or not, the joke is, it defies gravity. This was not that.”
