In 2022 Brendan Fraser had a career resurgence in his Oscar winning performance The Whale. Since then, he has been getting more well-deserved high-profile work, but his latest film Rental Family looks to be another return to form. The film co-stars Takehiro Hira, Mari Yamamoto, Shannon Gorman, and Akira Emoto with director Hikari at the helm.

 

Rental Family follows an American actor who struggles to find purpose until he lands an unusual gig: working for a Japanese "rental family" agency, playing stand-in roles for strangers. As he immerses himself in his clients’ worlds, he begins to form genuine bonds that blur the lines between performance and reality. Confronting the moral complexities of his work, he rediscovers purpose, belonging, and the quiet beauty of human connection.

 

In addition to the film this upcoming release offers up bonus content including deleted/extended scenes and featurettes taking you behind bringing this story to life. Step into the role of a lifetime when Rental Family makes its way onto digital on January 13th and then onto Blu-ray on February 17th from Searchlight Pictures.
