Does anyone know if Todd Haynes is willing to add scenes where an actor\u2019s legs get longer<\/a>? Pedro Pascal is reportedly circling Haynes\u2019s next film, De Noche, per Deadline<\/a>, replacing Joaquin Phoenix. Pascal would star as a corrupt cop who flees 1930s Los Angeles for Mexico with his lover, played by Danny Ramirez. The project \u2014 reportedly slated to include lots of graphic sex scenes \u2014 stalled in July when Phoenix deserted just five days before filming<\/a> was to begin despite actively pursuing the role and collaborating with Haynes. \u201cJoaquin was pushing it further into more dangerous territory, sexually,\u201d Haynes told Variety<\/a> in September 2023. Filming for De Noche will reportedly restart in the New Year in Guadalajara, Mexico. (Funnily enough, Pascal and Phoenix play rivals in Ari Aster\u2019s latest, Eddington<\/a>, with Phoenix as the corrupt cop in that film.)<\/p>\n At the time Phoenix dropped out, the role was impossible to recast, sources told\u00a0Variety<\/a>, likely because international distributors had purchased the rights to the film expecting it would star Phoenix and the contracts did not allow for a recasting. \u201cIt has been a nightmare,\u201d producer Christine Vachon of Killer Films said at the time on Facebook<\/a>. Vachon also produced Celine Song\u2019s Materialists<\/a>, in which Pascal co-starred earlier this year. This could be what gets Pascal his first Oscar nomination\u00a0(while Phoenix watches from the sidelines), but let\u2019s not get ahead of ourselves here. Just get Pascal to Guadalajara first.<\/p>\n Related<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Save us, Pedro Pascal!
