Brendan Fraser breaks down his role as Dwight D. Eisenhower in Focus Features' 'Pressure,' a tense historical thriller about the 72 hours leading up to D-Day. Fraser discusses Eisenhower’s leadership, the burden of sending young soldiers into battle, and the crucial role meteorologist James Stagg played in changing the course of history. Fraser also praises Andrew Scott’s performance as Stagg, calling him an “incredible actor,” and reflects on why 'Pressure' feels so relevant in a modern world where weather data is instantly available — unlike in 1944, when forecasts relied on emerging science and human instinct.   SUBSCRIBE → https://goo.gl/rRQ5W7 Movie news, movie trailers, movie clips & more: https://movieweb.com Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/movieweb Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/movieweb Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/movieweb/ #pressure #brendanfraser #interview #podcast
