Joaquin Phoenix reportedly dropped out of his collaboration with Todd Haynes just five days before filming began
that his co-star Danny Ramirez flew to Comic-Con in July not knowing whether the project would resume. A source close to the production toldPhoenix got “cold feet.” Producers apparently tried to keep the film alive, but it seems that investors had agreed to finance the film based on Phoenix’s Oscar-winning star power. No Phoenix, no movie, so the entire project is reportedly dead in the water.
What makes this story all the more puzzling is that Phoenix was supposedly the driving force behind this film in the first place. Last year,as “an original script that I developed with Joaquin Phoenix based on some thoughts and ideas he brought to me. We basically wrote with him as a story writer. Me and Jon Raymond and Joaquin share the story credit. And we hope to be shooting it beginning early next year. It’s a gay love story set in 1930s LA.
