Leslie Grace loved her moments with Brendan Fraser on the set of Batgirl.
We're quickly approaching a high point in the Brenaissance. As awards season rolls on, and we near the Academy Awards in March, plenty of love and acclaim is pouring in for Brendan Fraser and his performance in Darren Arronofsky's The Whale. The fan-favorite star is now up for the Oscar for Best Actor, solidifying his comeback. However, he also nearly got the chance last year to return to the high-profile space he once inhabited with the ill-fated Batgirl.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY During an interview with Collider's own Maggie Lovitt for How to Win Friends and Disappear People, Grace was asked about the sequences she most wished fans could've seen and, sure enough, they involved Fraser. While it was a blast for her to work on a film that boasted some impressive practical effects, the actress gave a lot of credit to her "sparring partner" Fraser for making it one of the more worthwhile experiences of her career.
"I truly had one of [the best] experiences with Batgirl. In terms of the experience of shooting, we were all so excited for people to see a lot of the action, a lot of the practical shots we did with fire. Our movie was full of practical fire, which was really hard to shoot. Brendan [Fraser], our villain, our Firefly, he was just so outstanding and so happy that he's having this incredible moment—this Brenaissance as everyone says. He's amazing.
The sudden cancelation of Batgirl caught everyone off guard, including filmmakers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah. It was an unprecedented move considering the project came with a $90 million budget, and it was very close to release. Not only did it rankle fans eager to see Grace, Keaton, and Fraser together in a film, but it drew the ire of individuals throughout the industry including the then-head of DC Walter Hamada who was ready to call it quits after the film was scrapped.
At the very least, even if no footage of Batgirl sees the light of day, Grace seemed to find a lot of value in working on the film and Fraser was a big reason why. Stay tuned here at Collider for our full interview with Grace.
