Brendan Fraser to star in WHOLE LOTTA SOLA

Brendan Fraser has landed a new role in the upcoming heist film, Whole Lotta Sola, which is being directed by Terry George. 

Variety reports the film "centers on a young man robbing a fish shop in order to pay off a gambling debt; the heist goes terribly -- and humorously -- awry when it turns into a hostage situation." Fraser is playing the shopkeeper, who's on the run from his gangster father-in-law.

The film is written by George and Thomas Gallagher. Jay Russell is producing the movie, which is set to shoot in Northern Ireland. 

It is surprising to me that Fraser continues to get work. In my opinion he has not had a good film since School Ties. What are your thoughts on this news?
