This action of the actor has stumped the makers who had built an entire set in Guadalajara. The Academy Award-winning actor had abandoned the project in early July, just before its Mexican schedule kicked-off. The actor’s setback has stirred the whole cast and crew, and the makers are expected to take legal action against Phoenix.
The departure was particularly surprising, as reports stated that Phoenix first brought the project to Haynes and his longtime producers at Killer Films, headed by Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler. The reason for his withdrawal is kept under wraps.
