“A version of this did happen. It has been a nightmare. If I haven’t been in touch or returned your call– this is why. And PLEASE — if you are tempted to finger wag or admonish us that “that’s what you get for casting a straight actor” –DON’T. This was HIS project that he brought to US– and Killer’s* record on working with LGBTQ actors/crew/directors speaks for itself. (and for those of you who HAVE– know that you are making a terrible situation even worse)”.
– Statement from Christine Vachon of Killer Films, an independent film production company that has produced all of Haynes' movies.
It was previously reported that Joaquin Phoenix dropped out at the last minute of a gay romance movie directed by Todd Haynes, and the film’s financing depended on casting Phoenix.
