Joaquin Phoenix Dropping Out of Gay Romance Movie Was “Tough” for Director
It’s disheartening when a movie that seemed destined for greatness, like the upcoming gay romance film by ‘Todd Haynes’, faces a setback. Initially announced in 2023, this film featuring ‘Joaquin Phoenix’ promised an emotional and impactful tale of love. However, just five days before the main filming was due to begin, Phoenix chose to withdraw from the project. It wasn’t until Haynes spoke with Variety at the Marrakech Film Festival that he addressed the fate of this potential masterpiece.
