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.
