Comment on Todd Haynes finally comments on his scrapped film with Joaquin Phoenix

Sounds like Joaquin Phoenix is a liability. If the film gets funding because he’s involved but he could drop out at the last minute (they were building sets) then that is a problem.

Seems like movies should be made because they’re good and not because a certain celebrity is in it.

And you can’t imagine any relation between a movie being good and who’s in it.

Correct, but celebs bring buzz and provide some upfront marketing. You can have the best movie ever made, but if nobody sees it then what’s the point (as far as getting people paid goes)

Sometimes they’re even famous because they’re good at acting and will bring the quality of the movie way up as well (emphasis sometimes).
