My guess is that it’s because this is his project - he originally brought the idea to the director and they worked it up into a script from there. So Phoenix probably has a lot of paperwork saying he can’t be replaced and the distributors that have bought it likely have contracts that would prevent a bait-and-switch change of lead after they’ve paid for the rights.
