> Christine Vachon of Killer Films, a long-time collaborator of Todd Haynes‘ who was meant to be producing the director’s project with Joaquin Phoenix before he exited as shooting was set to start, has told “the truth” of the situation and described what she believes is the most tragic part.
> “The truth is, pretty much what happened is out there for all of you to see,” Vachon began. “If I had anything to gossip about it, I would, but I don’t. It was tragic. The most tragic part about it, in my mind, is Todd Hughes is 62. There’s a finite number of films that they’ll be able to do in his lifetime. I consider him one of the most extraordinary film artists of his generation.
> “The idea that his time was wasted and that a movie is not a result of those years of working closely with Joaquin, that is the tragedy to me and that I can’t get over,” Vachon continued. “We, as a cultural community, lost an opportunity to have another movie by Todd Haynes. That is just criminal.”
