Taking things in a new and different direction this Brendan Fraser History Month we are exploring those sequels to Brendan Fraser films that inexplicably left him off the cast list.

20 years ago Renée Zellweger made a little film that allowed her to win her first of many Golden Globes. Morgan Freeman and Chris Rock were there too!
