As a seasoned film enthusiast who has followed Joaquin Phoenix‘s illustrious career closely, I must say his latest decision to walk away from Todd Hayne’s upcoming gay romance has left me both intrigued and slightly bewildered. His life experience, marked by a series of daring roles and fearless performances, has always been a testament to his unparalleled artistry and commitment.
Actor Joaquin Phoenix, known for playing The Joker, recently chose to step back from Todd Hayne’s upcoming gay romance movie, only a few days before the production was due to start. It appears that Phoenix experienced some reservations (or “got cold feet”), leading him to decide against being involved in the film.
As a lifestyle expert, I must share some intriguing behind-the-scenes news regarding a highly anticipated project. Unfortunately, the departure of the Her actor has caused quite a stir amongst the production team. You see, the unique essence that Joaquin Phoenix brought to the role makes it impossible to replace him with another actor.
In the meantime, it appears the movie hasn’t managed to compensate its investors yet, and according to Variety’s reports, the producers may end up shouldering this loss, which might run into millions. Construction for the film sets is happening in Guadalajara, as the production was initially scheduled to start five days ago, but the Hollywood actor decided to abandon his role at the last moment.
According to several reports, Phoenix is said to have left the film because it was rumored that the script required extremely personal and explicit scenes for him to act out on set. However, neither the actor nor the film’s producers have verified this claim yet.
As a fervent admirer, I couldn’t help but leap for joy when I learned that the actor portraying Napoleon would be sharing the screen with none other than Danny Ramirez, who was brought on board to play the second lead in 2023’s anticipated release. Intriguingly, following this casting announcement, the enigmatic director, Todd Haynes, decided to divulge a tantalizing detail to a trusted media outlet: his upcoming film is a love story between two men set in the ’30s, complete with explicit sexual content. Can’t wait to see it unfold!
The film received an NC-17 rating due to its provocative content intended to provoke both viewers and societal norms. Some speculate that one factor leading to Joaquin Phoenix’s departure might have been his involvement in explicit on-screen scenes, but it is also suggested that he was the one who initially pitched the project to the director.
In a conversation with Variety, Hayne previously mentioned that “The process of writing the script felt naturally and organically unfolding.” He also stated that Joaquin was taking it to riskier, sexually explicit areas. The creators have not made a final decision about the film yet.
In my professional sphere, I’m gearing up for an exciting premiere with the highly anticipated sequel to Joker, titled Folie a Deux, where I’ll be sharing the screen with the remarkable Lady Gaga.
