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

- 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.

People in this industry will be furious with him and he wont be cast in movies for a long time.....then Joker 2 will come out and make a billion dollars and everyone will forget about this because money is the only thing this industry truly cares about now.
Exactly
Perfectly worded, I would just delete the “now” at the end.
@@johnnykidblue No, lil bro. Filmmakers used to run the industry before you were born. Today it's businessmen who run it.
@@comebackguy8892 and businessmen care about what? 💰💰 🤑 💸
Phoenix is at Brando level now. He will still be able to pick and choose any role he wants.
If we don't know the reason for Joaquin's departure, then we're not in a position to judge the morality or ethics of the decision. I will reserve judgement until I know the reasons and they are shown to be worthy of respect or scorn.
Ah NO. He left a few days before filming and left a lot of industry workers out of work. It is unconscionable given he is rich and can afford to leave but not the script writers, make up artists, etc.
What the other guy said, it wouldn’t be bad if he didn’t already have so many people attached and ready to start working. People’s careers are riding on stuff like this, and they’re the ones who will suffer the consequences of such an action, not an A list star.
Nobody cares
I doubt their career is in jeopardy, they can get another actor , they cab get other jobs if this project doesn't move forward or stalls, it's part of this business, things don't always go according to plan
@@DocVancouverCry me a river, just find another actor and again we don't know the reason he left
I love the idea of filmmakers being upset over cancelling a film literally no one asked for.
They're upset because it costs time and money to prepare and cast for a film.
That's not how film making works.

@@clintenos still, who asked for those films? It's still coming from their own volition.
HE WROTE THE FILM, PITCHED THE FILM, and now he's getting cold feet..😂😂
He a 🤡
Nah man is a champ for walking away from a DEI-laced gay film when they stole all creative control and changed his writing
@@zalla00@
No, he wrote the film, pitched the film and his film was completely changed and re-arranged into something else that he never intended. There's a difference.
@@zalla00 "DEI-laced". So this is the new buzzword for crackpots with limited vocabulary. Id ask you to elaborate but what you've already written so far has me physically cringing. Next time just say you can't think for yourself and move on.
Why is this news? This isn't the first time an Actor left a project.
Yeah they said that in the video but that doesn't mean it's right to do it
@@rustyshackleford6035 it's wrong because?
Is the Hollywood reporter lol what did you think it's the BBC? Its industry gossip probably leaked because people were angry

"Outrage""among": please, be even *more* vague
lol

Let them be outraged. When Joker 2 comes out and if it makes alot of money like it's expected to, that fake outrage will all of a sudden quiet down.
Cmon dude
@@rascalthecat666 whatever that means
Joker 2 is gonna bomb simply because of bad reviews before it comes out.
@@Alex-p5e5k bad reviews? The director of Venice has already screened the film and has said he would be surprised if Joaquin didn't get an Oscar nomination.

You can’t force someone to act gay if they don’t want to
Exactly. No means no.
@@language-n-learningFor Elmo.
Apparently everyone else is expected to suck it up, which I find highly inappropriate.
If you really believe that, don't research any deeper into Hollywood. You will be disturbed.
Oh yes they can, Brokeback Mountain anyone
@@franciscotoscano9924 Heath and Jake were forced to perform those roles? As in manipulated or blackmailed? I've never heard that, but I would believe it.
And yet, if he did the film, there would’ve been outrage about a non-gay actor taking a gay role off a gay actor. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t
Probably why he bailed out.
He wrote the movie and wanted to star in it. It was his idea and he backs out days before. That’s like a contractor tearing apart your kitchen, charging you for labor and ordering a bunch of material only to say he can’t be the one to do it days before he was supposed to. Gave you a timeline and everything
@@StonedCabbageI know this is Tarrable of him to do maybe they can get a real gay person for the role though like Neal Patrick Harris or Nathan Lane I actually like both of those actors better so I might be more out to watch it
It really depends on the movie and how we are depicted in it. If it's pro LGBT done right we don't care if he's straight. If it's blaming everything bad happening to Freddy Mercury due to being gay I'll pass.
@@BlanBonco This Joker ain’t having his Brokeback Mountain moment, it would seem
Who gives a crap? we have a mental and physical health crisis in America and we are worried about movie stars and their bs?
saying this on a channel that's about movie stars and hollywood is crazy
@@jconny65😂 spot on
"who gives a crap" as if you yourself would throw out all your personal problems to help mental physical health in the US
Then why are you watching videos on RUclips about Hollywood happenings? Go self the real problems, if that's what really upsets you.
@@deebee4575 they don’t cover real problems or science in the news anymore. Have you noticed?
Did you know we may have found fossils on mars? Or that Mars has an ocean underneath the surface? That was literally discovered this week, but you wouldn’t know it because our media is focused on CRAP
He probably realised it would be as popular as the movie Bros.
I actually liked Bros but I think they went to far with some of the stuff in it as a bisexual person I found some of the stuff unrealistic and unrelatable and I'm there core focus group so I can't imagine what straight people were saying 😳🤯🙄
worldnews109678.blogspot.com/2024/09/hollywood-classic-goonies-given-red.html
Something tells me there was something in the script he wasn’t rocking with, and possibly felt tricked
@@keenynthewise Keeny... He's the one that pitched the movie
@@gregap8282doesn’t mean they didn’t change it
@@wyattcole5452 they can't change it. Do you really think an actor of Joaquin's caliber will not have protective clauses on his contract?
@@gregap8282 I’m not a lawyer or an actor, srry if I’ve disappointed you
@@gregap8282you don’t know what you’re talking about, shush
Outrage coz he left a gay focused movie but if he actually stayed on and played it there would be outrage a straight man is playing a gay man💀
They do this all the time. Sean penn and James Franco in Milk. No one cares. Sean penn was highly praised for that movie. The outrage will only be because phoenix left a gay focused movie lol.
@@Madfox88 They do it all the time you say but gave one example of a fil that came out in 2008. 16 years ago. If you are going to say something then back it up.
@@brucef310 it’s already rare to have a mainstream lgbtq movie. I guarantee you if this movie went thru with phoenix, no one would say anything. Have you heard anything about phoenix playing a gay dude.. until this moment where he decided to quit?
@@brucef310 one recent example I just thought of is that young dude who played Elton John in Rocketman. He was praised for it and he is not gay, cause who cares. It’s acting…
J. P. Apparently pitched the script himself and suggested not to tone down the the sexualized gay stuffs. Then got cold feet 5 days before production, what a real life clown.
they didnt get his joke
I guess Eddie Murphy’s classic line about the “banana in the tailpipe” would get him canceled in 2024.
I get it screws up production but if someone is uncomfortable with something and says No then No means No right? Hollywood Hypocrites
But he was the one that proposed this movie. If I'm not mistaken, he bought the rights. Also you can quit, but 5 days before production is so unprofessional. I'm not thinking about the producers or higher-ups, I'm talking about the crew that will loose 3 to 4 months worth of work.
He should be forced to do those scenes, whether he likes it or not.
@@benjamindover4337they can work around it. They can hire a double. They can use prosthetics like they do in a lot of movies. There's an infinite list of ways they could've done this movie. and according to other outlets, he's the one that pitched this movie.
@@gregap8282Exactly
@@gregap8282And all your infinite ways would take more than 5 days to put together and increase the budget exponentially
Hollywood producers are outraged at Phoenix? Well, he must have done something morally right.
That's not our problem. Phoenix will surely communicate his reasons at a later point. Perhaps certain changes were pushed and triggered his exit. Even film makers aren't in control of everything.
Pervywood is upset. Again.
"Say a word out of line and find that the friends you had are gone forever, for-ever". Say Goodbye to Hollywood, Billy Joel
So unprofessional. You know how many people lost their jobs? And for the people saying recast him, it's not that simple. That would take weeks to months, the other actors work on schedule and might have other projects lined up meaning this is the time thay cleard for the production of this movie. Why do people act like you can just start a project this size at any moment?
recasting is literally not possible, apparently funding was basically solely reliant on phoenix as the lead
@@tobymortimer13 Phoenix even worked on the script, according to some outlets, so I just don’t understand his “cold feet”
They did it with Christopher Plummer when they replaced Kevin Spacey, forgot the name of the movie but they did it.
@@jib1823 that’s a ridiculous comparison. That movie was already shot and in the middle of post production.
Not everyone wants to be part of a woke movie
The solution is pretty simple isn’t it? I am assuming contracts were signed and if so he broke that contract and is now financially liable so just sue him instead of flooding the internet with the story.
This is an important story for our time, we must be better as a society or we are doomed to repeat the endless cycle of cancelled art films
As long as we get joker, idgaf.
This is still a second language to me, so what's "idgaf" means?
@@lincoln2324I don't give a F***
Exactly
Of course you'll still get Joker. That film has nothing to do with what's happening here. Notice how it isn't mentioned at all and it's an entirely different filmmaker and film that they're talking about?
When I saw the thumbnail my heart sank a little. I thought he had died.
I guess Beau is afraid
Haha, he dodged his own bullet!
He said "Pause" 🤣🤣🤣
No Diddy
He didn't wanna get sassy and citric!!!
Ah poor Hollywood. All mad at someone who decided to not make a woke pos
Maybe he’s just one of the only stars in Hollywood that recognize the 100% failure rate of activism films.
What is the problem here? Its most likely the direction of the film is taking a turn from his original idea and possibly enough disagreement for him to exit this project. Calling someone homophobic for leaving a film he was integral in pushing for initially does not make you a bad person. The producers are disgusting.
Brokeback Mountain 2....it's the movie nobody asked for
Overrated actors can get away with pretty much anything.
He also caused an outrage with "I'm still here". There were also people who claimed "Joker " will be a disaster and it ended up making a billion. Phoenix proved multiple times his charisma and acting brilliance can save any project. If that isn't enough to cut him some slack I don't know what more it takes. He's a man, not a machine. Go, Phoenix 🐦🔥
Man tries to take his life back and just chill and it sparks an outrage? Sounds hella sus on hollywoods end
And here I am just hoping it doesn't get made regardless of the reason.
Something tells me that he’ll probably be blacklisted for this.
sure he will
Something tells me he won't entirely mind if that happened.
I can guarantee that won't happen
That’s silly if he is blacklisted. He should do what Bruce Willis did. instead of being sued, just sign on 3 films under the studio and everyone is happy. Bruce Willis did it and one of the films he was forced to make was the sixth sense so it all worked out.
Not interested into watching a gay love story,sorry .
right! If there's a scene with 2 men mildly
having a gay undertone I'm outta there😂
@@jamesheggs6825 Ditto ...
If a woman uncomfortable with something and back out she’s a hero. So brave. A dude he’s not for some reason.
I don’t want to watch a movie about an “extremely homosexual relationship in the 1930s”…. Bro what in the f
Just ask Tom Holland to fill in the void. He's been salivating for such an opportunity. I'm sure he's chomping at the bit, wanting to sink his teeth into such a juicy role.
Be lucky he agreed to even show
Next level trolling
Cannot wait for Joker 2... Looks great.
It sounded pretty gay. Can't really blame him for dipping out.
But he literally wrote the movie.
Can’t they use gay actors who would probably more comfortable with the themes this film will deal with?
And of course Willis eventually had the last laugh when one of those films he starred in The Sixth Sense netted him 60 million in back end profits.
Someone put this perfectly, so I'll reiterate.
If they went ahead and did this movie anyway, people would like at Jaoquin differently. He had this idea, he pitched it, and THEN he's getting cold feet?
Maybe the producers wanted him to make this an X rated movie?
Excellent move for his career
Some reports say "its to gay for him"? He deserves to quit on that.
Something tells me that something was happening behind the scenes that he wasn't comfortable with
Corey Feldman
Terry Crews
Brendan Frasier
Macaulay Caulkin
Respect to phoenix boy is not gay nor wants gay pay.
They killed Brittney Murphy and her husband for walking off set.
If he'd done the movie he would have gotten complaints for playing a gay role while being straight.
Joker 2 will come out and they will all think twice about banning him
I'm glad he decided to stay true to himself and not bend to the will. The cold feet was him realizing he never wanted to do it in the first place, but he did it to get more roles. We all know you get more work in 2024 Hollywood if you do gay stuff. But he has an Oscar, and he realized that. So he backed out.
I say this as a gay guy
He is going to have a hard enough time getting people to see Joker 2 due to it being a musical
They aren't going to go see it if he's biting a pillow in a movie
I could see Joaquin changing his mind on any kind of project or subject matter.
Oh my gee, someone, at the last moment, decided it's not for them, big whoop. The media, more the entertainment industry REALLY make you feel like your position is as important as a surgeons and if you don' show up, talk back, or they just don't like you, you get fired. They mad that actors are doing whay they do to them? Cutting them at the last minute? Let's go focus and worry on other problems folks.
So because he didn’t want to pretend to take it up the butt on screen he now has to take it up the butt in court 🤔
He probably is recovering from his extended malnourishment from the joker
Based af
"Outrage",seperti yang terjadi padaku sejak tahun 2014 hingga kini
Is he not allowed to choose his projects or decide to not participate?
I’m gay. His choice. Film is insured, Don’t read in to it, Move on. It will be amazing for another deserving actor. NEXT
I’m still amazed the first Joker made as much as it did. It wasn’t a great movie. Not a bad movie at all but Billion dollar great? The 2nd one being a musical is a hard no for me.
They are outraged for any star they cannot control
I heard he disagreed with their choice of armorer
..:`×
COMIT Phoenix, DAMN YOU man!
it is the actor’s responsibility to comit to all projects
So Phoenix saw the movie was going to suck and pulled out. Smart
Intense gay romance for a straight man would give anyone cold feet 😂😅
1:18 'folee-o-dew' jesus christ
Joaquin
Will drop his reply on his new mixtape coming out this fall
I bet you the movie wasn't gay until the board roam
it's because Joaquin is moving on too more important roles & not the lgbtq ones what's wrong with these Producers
I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t sue him into bankruptcy. They did it to Kim Basinger for doing the exact same thing when she dropped out of Boxing Helena.
Except they won't dare when Joker 2 makes a billion dollar at the box office AGAIN!!! and the movie is nomatinated for Best Film and Joaquin up for Best Actor AGAIN!!!
1:02 woah!!! How’s that not an indentured servant… n the “ “ dont think they should get flax for treating humans like slaves cuz they signed a contract… so inhuman n people treat those same when they talk about them… Kayne wasnt wrong. They monsters in the industry 1:02
He doesn't wanna end up like heath.he did a gay movie and then got hooked on pills and died because of it. And phenix plays the joker also think abt it
Not everyone can be gay for pay :)
The reason. Duh. Stop thrusting disgusting moral behavior down people throat. Excellent back out Phoenix. Stand for something or fall for anything. Hollywood is disgusting.
happens. you can always do what you want, if, you're willing to pay the price. when it comes down to it, the movie business is a business, and dropping out this late costs people money. id be upset with him as well. Joaquin isnt some scrub trying to keep his spot or break in, so this will all blow over. he still makes money, as long as you can do that, this will be forgotten.
Cant people gave their free will anymore? Disgusting its all about money all the time. Sickening. Just respect his decision. Done.
Joaquin is an interesting guy, he is very different.
Maybe he has morals and Hollywood doesn't like that.
He pitched the movie, worked on the script, and was days away from shooting it. I don't think you understand anything about what's going on here.
Morals haha. He played a clown who shot someone at point blank range.
Maybe Pedro Pascal can replace him
The reasons remain unclear? Wake up, nerds.
"hide the sausage "
He found out he wasnt the top
So we’re supposed to believe that Joaquin Phoenix - who has been a professional actor since he was a kid and has played a myriad of roles where he literally transforms his body to fit the part (think the weight he lost to play the Joker) - got cold feet about playing a part that he wrote AND brought to the producer???
If the producers wanted to make Phoenix seem impossible to work with, they should’ve done better than this obvious hit piece by the Hollywood Reporter. (Paraphrasing) “Don’t be like Joaquin Phoenix, kids, or else you too could face legal action and blackballing! 🫣”
FOH.
A wise move....
Intense gay romance naa
He is doing Joker right 😳🤔
Wow, the way we do not care
One Hell of an Actor
Joker 2 is gonna suck...
The production is just upset because they're a bunch of nobody's without him.
Outrage...its his money on the line because he's producing it.
Producers rarely put up their own money.
Duh respect the Damn Art 🎭 you can't play JOKER with Harley Quinn then Twurk on a pole salute to the Kraft an Artmanship
0:03 homie looks like a white guy played by Samuel Jackson.
I definitely see it
😆
There gonna figure out a way to get him back! He must've had a falling out with someone.
Hes an odd duck
