Joaquin Phoenix was shooting an independent NC-17 film in Mexico about some gay detective romance. He left the project days before shooting began.
Wow, this is such a shit move. Especially knowing that the whole film's existence was dependent on him. Unfortunately, everyone other than the star suffers consequences.
I just feel terrible for the cast and crew, imagine thinking you'll have income for the new few months only for ONE person to ruin it.
This is so incredibly selfish, like I understand not every project is a good one but…two fricking weeks before filming started? It's just insane.
I mean we have no idea the reason behind him dropping out...
idk if it's a good source, but someone close to the production told variety that he got "cold feet"
Cold feet because he was worried about portraying a gay man correctly? The graphic s*x scenes? The script? The direction? The time commitment (he has a newborn)?
Still pretty darn vague.
I'm sorry you don't drop a project two weeks before it, while knowing you are literally the only reason it's being made.
YOU CANNOT LEAVE THIS EXPLICIT GAYERINO PRODUCTION THINK ABOUT THE PRODUCTIONCELS AND SET WORKERS!
This is crazy unprofessional and haynes, like many like him, has a hard time funding his movies - no doubt the funding for this one was entirely reliant on Joaquin. This is unfair to Haynes, the crew I wonder what really happened, I don't think he's one to get 'cold feet' like variety reported.
It may be unprofessional but giving independent-cinemacels a middle-finger like that is kind of based, ngl

When I saw the real Lion King as a kid I was legit uncomfortable with the message that hyenas are bad because they're just born that way. Kinda seemed like they didn't think through the subtext there.

I'm actually real curious what caused this. I know he's got a reputation for being a self-important cute twink but walking out 5 days before shooting is extreme enough that I bet there's a good story in there.
