Joaquin Phoenix has reportedly exited Todd Haynes' upcoming film just five days before filming was set to start in Mexico. According to Variety, Phoenix backed out due to "cold feet" and “ the graphic nature of the film's sex scenes.” The untitled project, which centered on two gay lovers played by Phoenix and Danny Ramirez, now has to be scrapped. Phoenix's departure has also left the crew out of work with potential losses exceeding seven figures. Variety also noted that as Phoenix himself had developed the screenplay with Haynes and Jon Raymond, his role "cannot be recast." Queer fans wonder what exactly went wrong! #Queer Up Entertainment
