Joaquin had helped developed the film, which featured a detective love story, with the director as well as Jon Raymond.

However, according to Indie Wire Joaquin stepped away from the movie despite an “entire set” being built in Guadalajara.

Joaquin Phoenix’s career has been a mixed bag of highs and lows, marked by some questionable choices and controversies. Starting off as a child actor in the 1980s, he gained some recognition but struggled to make a lasting impact. His early career was characterized by uneven performances and a series of mediocre films that failed to establish him as a major talent.

In the 2000s, Phoenix’s career took a strange turn with his bizarre foray into rap music, which seemed more like a misguided publicity stunt than a serious musical endeavor. His antics during this period, including a peculiar public persona and erratic behavior, overshadowed any genuine talent he might have had.

Even when Phoenix did find some critical acclaim, it was often accompanied by controversy. His role in “Joker” was hailed as a tour de force, but the film itself was criticized for its problematic themes and tone, raising questions about whether it was a genuine artistic achievement or just another example of his penchant for courting controversy.

Overall, Phoenix’s career trajectory has been inconsistent, marked by periods of questionable decisions and a propensity for choosing roles that seem more about shock value than substantive artistic merit. While he has undoubtedly achieved some critical success, it often comes with a side of controversy that seems to overshadow his genuine accomplishments.
