As a seasoned lifestyle expert with decades of industry experience under my belt, I cannot help but feel a profound sense of disappointment and dismay at the turn of events surrounding Todd Haynes’ film, May December. Having had the privilege of witnessing the evolution of countless artistic ventures throughout my career, I find it particularly distressing when a project as promising as this one seems to have been derailed.
At the Creative Investors Conference held during the San Sebastián International Film Festival, Christine Vachon, producer at Killer Films, shared her thoughts on the recent uproar concerning Joaquin Phoenix’s sudden departure from Todd Haynes’s upcoming film, May December.
Vachon, who is often involved with the Spanish festival, discussed the long-term viability of movie production in an ever-changing industry. When queried about her feelings regarding Phoenix stepping away from a gay romance film that reportedly led to job losses for hundreds of employees, she expressed her deepest sympathy towards Haynes.
Vachon expressed, “In essence, everything that transpired is clearly visible for all to see. There wouldn’t be any juicy gossip from me, but there isn’t. It was a sad event. The saddest aspect about it all is Todd Haynes being sixty-two years old.
She also mentioned, “There’s only a certain number of films he can make during his lifetime. To me, he ranks among the most exceptional film artists of his generation. The thought that those years spent working with Joaquin didn’t contribute to these movies, and that this is a loss I can’t shake off, is what truly saddens me.
Initially reported by Deadline, Phoenix departed the movie set of Haynes weeks prior to filming’s planned start in Guadalajara, Mexico. In an attempt to prevent total ruin, the producers worked hard to rescue the project. Unfortunately, local crew members are yet to receive their due payment.
Initially, Phoenix and Danny Ramirez (from Top Gun: Maverick) were planned to portray two individuals from the 1930s who develop a profound affection and choose to journey from Los Angeles to Mexico for their relationship. Collaborating with Pam Koffler, Vachon was set to produce this film.
At the Joker 2 press conference in Venice, Phoenix was asked about his decision to step away from the project. He replied, “If I were to speak on it, I’d only be offering my personal viewpoint, and since the other creatives aren’t here to express their own thoughts, I don’t believe that would be beneficial.
Meanwhile, Vachon’s Killer Films has completed the shooting of Celine Song’s forthcoming film, Materialists, and is currently filming Rachel Rose’s The Last Day, featuring Victoria Pedretti and Alicia Vikander.
