Joaquin Phoenix's Last-Minute Exit Sparks Hollywood "Outrage" Among Producers | THR News Video

Joaquin Phoenix's abrupt exit from Todd Haynes' latest film is causing a huge amount of outrage among Hollywood producers. The Oscar winner departed Todd Haynes' drama just five days before production began. The untitled film, also starring 'Captain America: Brave New World's' Danny Ramirez, was said to focus on an intense gay romance in the 1930s. According to multiple sources, Phoenix got cold feet in the lead-up to the production - though the reasons remain unclear – and is said to be particularly surprising, given that Phoenix first brought the project to Haynes and his longtime producers at Killer Films.

The sequel to 2019’s 'Joker' is the buzziest title of this year’s Venice Film Festival. This time, Lady Gaga joins director Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix for a follow-up that isn’t a straightforward psychological thriller but a semi-jukebox musical. Bold gambit. Shame it doesn't pay off.
