Joaquin Phoenix abruptly walked away from the explicit gay romance movie he was going to shoot with Todd Haynes just five days before filming was set to begin in Mexico.
Nick is an entertainment journalist based in New York, NY. If you like pugs and the occasional blurry photo of an action figure, follow him on Twitter @NickARomano.film that he's been developing with the director for years just five days before filming commenced in Mexico, sources tellReps for Haynes and indie production company Killer Films declined to comment, while Phoenix's reps did not immediately respond to EW's requests for comment.
There are virtually no details as to why the Oscar winner bowed out at the last minute. It's a project Phoenix brought to Haynes about two years ago, and they've been developing it together ever since. Jon Raymond, who co-wrote Haynes' HBO miniseries, worked on the script with both the director and Phoenix. MK2 Films served as the international sales agent out of France, though EW has learned financing for the movie was very much dependent on Phoenix's involvement.
Haynes is now turning his focus to another project he's been developing for some time: an HBO limited series adaptation ofJoker: Folie à Deuxcharacters 'didn't really bother' himdirector jokes that he was like 'a marriage counselor' for Matt Damon and Casey Affleck
