Joaquin Phoenix abandons Gay Romance Movie, losses could exceed seven figures

[Luna Lovegood 24,372]

“Joaquin Phoenix has dropped out of Todd Haynes‘ untitled gay romance film, just five days before filming was set to begin in Mexico, Variety has confirmed.

Phoenix had developed the screenplay for the detective love story with Haynes and Jon Raymond. A source close to the production tells Variety the actor got “cold feet.” Entire sets had been built in Guadalajara before Phoenix made the last-minute decision to exit the film.

Representatives for Haynes and Phoenix did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment.“

It was Katy removing the gay kiss in the Woman's World modest version video that made him rethink his life choices i fear

He wasn't acting in joker that's why he's performance is so believable

Leaving a project just days before shooting is not a good look, but hopefully he has good reasons and they manage to find a replacement asap.

Five days before shooting?  Wow. I feel sorry for all those workers who thought they were going to have steady employment moving forward.

He was the person that approached the director with the script afaik and actually pushed for the movie to be more graphic, I doubt he's homophobic, something happened behind the scenes.

Gaga deleting Joker 2 after seeing this 

[Levine 23,545]

If you don't want to be involved in a gay movie, you immediatly reject it.

Abandoning 5 days before the shooting it means something else happened. Maybe a conflicting schedule with the Joker promo? I hope he's ok.
