Joaquin Phoenix has dropped out of Todd Haynes‘ untitled gay romance film, just five days before filming was set to begin in Mexico.
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, in early July.
The movie, produced by Killer Films and backed by sales agent MK2 Film, had already sold to international distributors ahead of production. Sources tell Variety the project is in peril, indicating that Phoenix’s role cannot be recast. The crew is now out of work, and stakeholders in the film still need to be paid. Losses could exceed seven figures.

1. Why am I thinking of Lee Jongsuk?
(context about Lee Jongsuk: he pulled out from a script reading the day before which led to the cancellation of his Netflix show with Kim Jiwon. Translated: here)
2. ~He pulled a Lee Jongsuk~
3. Freaking taken aback, is he really a pro?
4. So irresponsible
5. The American Jongsuk
6. I hope he pays for all the damage
7. He always had this kind of image
8. Not surprised
9. Must be hard to play a gay romance
10. Isn't this a nuisance?
