Summary

From "The Mummy" to his Oscar-winning performance in "The Whale", Brendan Fraser's career has taken some extraordinary turns. At the Deauville American Film Festival, he talks to Eve Jackson about his "Brenaissance", playing General Dwight D. Eisenhower in "Pressure", what D-Day can teach us about the dangers of ignoring science and his return as Rick O'Connell in "The Mummy 4".
