It's set in 1930s Los Angeles

Sounds interesting

I hope he cleans up for it. Joaquin Phoenix is very hot when he bathes and grooms

What, Larry Clark was busy?

[quote]It’s a love story between two men set in the 30s that has explicit sexual content that or at least it challenges you with the sexual relationship between these two men. One is a Native American character and one is a corrupt cop in LA. It’s set in the 30s.

So: basically "Brokeback Hollywood," but with a fug lead actor. Peachy.

^ It sounds more like a gayer LA Confidential

Career on the skids, I guess I better start pushing the sex scenes!

I guess Joaquin has changed his mind about gay sex scenes now that playing gay is no longer a career killer.

I hope there's a good bum scene!

oh great another movie about Hollywood just what the world needs

His career isn't "on the skids" - he won an Oscar not that long ago

Then it's definitely [italic]not[/italic] on the skids.

I don't see why they have to discover a new Native actor for the role. Given Joaquin's current appearance Graham Greene or Wes Studi could play the younger man he's involved with.

Are we talking Brokeback Mountain explicit, or Shortbus explicit? I'm not sure I want to see Joaquin's cock and asshole.

Given the Luca Guadagnino-esque scent of bullshit I'm detecting from Haynes' statement, I wouldn't expect anything more explicit than gay storylines on daytime soap operas. (Not that I'd want to see anything more with Phoenix as a participant... in fact they can wear cardigans and wave to each other from across the room as far as I'm concerned.)

Phoenix abandons film mid production; film dead.

[quote]No further details on what Phoenix’s ire was. He has a reputation for being a deeply committed actor. There was buzz that this film had its fair share of dicey intimacy scenes.

Good riddance. Cast actual gay actors next time and you won't have to deal with this bullshit. But they'll never learn, especially when even gay directors like Guadagnino refuse to cast gay actors.

Sorry it was preproduction but they were already on location

Is there something for Colton?

Oh, too bad. I hate a premature pull-out.

by Anonymousreply 19August 9, 2024 4:25 PM

Phoenix wrote the movie and was the driving force and key ingredient in getting it produced. “It should have been a gay actor” is especially stupid in this case.

by Anonymousreply 20August 9, 2024 4:28 PM

Wasn't a fan of acting out being gay.

by Anonymousreply 21August 9, 2024 4:29 PM

What an asshole he must be to pull out at the last minute when he is the key ingredient. A lot of people are going to get screwed.

Oh dear.

You can hear the United States in collective relief saying-

"FINALLY!".

Nobody will see this one.

Correct r24 because the film will not be made.

Did you bother at least skimming a mere 24 post thread?

by Anonymousreply 25August 9, 2024 5:17 PM

Phoenix got scared of the graphic sex scenes that he wrote and insisted on
