According to recent reports, Joaquin Phoenix has made a surprising decision to drop out of an upcoming film just days before filming was set to begin. The film, which was set to be a gay romance, was a project that the 49-year-old actor had been looking forward to for quite some time. Phoenix had joined the project last year and was excited to work with director Todd Haynes and co-star Danny Ramirez.
The film was said to be a "detective love story" set in 1930s Los Angeles, and Phoenix's character was set to be the lead role. However, things have taken a turn for the worse as sources claim that Phoenix has had a change of heart and left the project. It's a shocking move that has thrown the production into chaos, as Phoenix's character was integral to the story and cannot be easily recast.
The news has left the cast and crew in a state of limbo, and it is now uncertain if the film will continue without Phoenix's involvement. The Agency has reached out to Phoenix's reps for a comment, but as of now, there has been no official statement from the actor or the production team.
Last year, at the Cannes Film Festival, director Todd Haynes had announced his plans for the film, which he had developed with Phoenix. The two had worked closely on the script, with Phoenix even contributing his own ideas and thoughts. It was a collaborative effort that had resulted in an exciting and unique story.
In an interview with IndieWire, Haynes had shared his excitement about the project and had stated that filming was set to begin early next year. He had also mentioned that the film was a "gay love story" set in 1930s LA and that Phoenix had pushed the boundaries of the story, making it more daring and sexually charged.
Phoenix's sudden exit has left many questions unanswered, and fans are curious to know the reason behind his decision. The actor is currently gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated film, Joker: Folie à Deux, where he is set to reprise his role as the infamous villain. The sequel is set to hit theaters on October 4 and is already generating a lot of buzz.
For now, it seems like the untitled gay love story will not be moving forward as planned. The Agency will continue to update the public as more information becomes available.
