Joaquin Phoenix has abruptly exited Todd Haynes' planned romantic drama, leaving the project on hold just five days before production was set to commence in Mexico, as first reported by IndieWire.
The film, which had been shrouded in secrecy, was reportedly an NC-17-rated gay romance starring Phoenix as one of the two male leads. Phoenix was also attached to co-write the screenplay with Haynes.
News of Phoenix's departure has sent shockwaves through the film industry. No official reason has been given for his exit, but sources close to the production indicate that creative differences may have played a role.
Haynes' film is now indefinitely on hold while the filmmakers search for a replacement for Phoenix. It is unclear whether the project will be able to resume production as scheduled.
The sudden departure of Phoenix is a major setback for Haynes, who is known for his acclaimed films such as "Carol" and "Far From Heaven." The untitled gay romance film was highly anticipated, and its cancellation will be a disappointment to many fans.
