Oscar-winner Joaquin Phoenix has abruptly left an untitled gay romance film directed by Todd Haynes, five days before shooting was set to begin, amid speculation of him getting 'cold feet'.
The movie is now described as 'in peril' due to Phoenix's departure, with all crew and stakeholders awaiting payment and potential losses possibly reaching over seven figures.
A studio executive expressed significant outrage over the situation, noting that it was Phoenix who originally brought the project to Todd Haynes, further complicating the fallout.
Although Phoenix's actions have led to discussions of blackballing him in Hollywood, producers recognize that his imminent hit movie, Joker 2, makes this unlikely.
