Why can’t he be recast? Also def sounds like something went down bts bc he’s a seasoned actor and I don’t see him dropping so late without a good reason.

Because they got funding thanks to his name. If he gets replaced they have every right to ask for the money back or sue.

Something else has to be going on other than having “cold feet” because it’s weird af to back out literally 5 days before filming even if he wasn’t into it at that point. That’s a lot of money to lose and I’m sure other actors have been in the position to not wanna film a movie for various reasons but when you’re that close to filming they would just do it and get it over with.

I hope he’s okay.

Because it's his own project. Probably something that's stated in their contract. Since Phoenix is the one who brought the idea to the director. Haynes told Variety in September 2023 that the film started with “fragments of ideas” from Phoenix, which the director formulated into “an actual narrative” before bringing Raymond on board. It was set to be NC-17 rated movie, so it is going to be very, very explicit. Including the gey secks
