"[Fraser] is the nicest guy I've ever met in my life," Bilall agreed while reminiscing about shooting Batgirl in Glasgow, Scotland."I never had an experience like that, the whole city was working with us to make it possible. I hope we can get back." Brendan Fraser Brought to Tears Over The Whale PerformanceDarren Aronofsky and the cast of The Whale debuted the film at the Venice International Film Festival in September.
