Some context: The Master, Paul Thomas Anderson’s long awaiting follow-up to 2007’s There Will Be Blood, has been passed from studio to studio since 2009, for varying reasons that range from budgetary issues to the fact that the film is supposedly a thinly-veiled and scathing critique of Scientology. Regardless of the reasoning, PTA finally got The Master made with a distribution deal from The Weinstein Company, and is offering up a peek at the very mysterious new film via a hypnotic teaser trailer.

Joaquin Phoenix is still a wanted man in Hollywood. Even after his pseudo-retirement for the documentary I’m Still Here, he’s managed to keep producers and directors interested in him. Why, you ask? Because the man has chops! He can actually act. He didn’t get nominated for two Oscars for nothing. According to Deadline, Phoenix is being courted to star alongside Benjamin Walker in the highly anticipated action-horror film, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

A couple weeks ago we reported that I’m Still Here star Joaquin Phoenix was slated to join Leonardo DiCaprio in the Clint Eastwood biopic, Hoover. The actor was rumored to play his right hand man and lover in the film. Could you imagine Leo and Joaquin going at it? It’s an interesting concept (and visual) but it’s not happening. Eastwood has confirmed that the actor has not been cast in the movie.

Yesterday we posted a teaser for Joaquin Phoenix’s highly anticipated return to the “Late Show with David Letterman.” To say that his last visit was horrible would be an understatement. It was NOT must see TV, and it was pretty hard and uncomfortable to watch. Thank God, Phoenix stopped taking those crazy pills and is back to his clean shaven, nicely dressed self. We missed him! Watch his full interview on Letterman below…

He’s back! Joaquin Phoenix has returned to the controversial stage of “Late Show with David Letterman.” The last time the actor appeared on the program was in early 2009 while at the peak of his I’m Still Here insanity. He was heavier, shaggier, and as receptive as a brick wall in conversation but that’s all changed. Now that his movie is in theaters, he’s dropped the act and gone back to his clean shaven, put together self. Here’s a sneak peek at Phoenix on Letterman…

Now that the truth is out regarding Joaquin Phoenix’s latest “film” I’m Still Here, we’re ready for him to get back into the real acting game.

It was recently revealed by director Casey Affleck that his documentary I’m Still Here that focuses on the wild and crazy life of Joaquin Phoenix was all a lie. That’s right it was fake. Phoenix hasn’t retired from acting, he just put on one, if not the greatest performance of his career. So we’re not surprised that Vulture is reporting that he may join the cast of the upcoming film, The Odd Life of Timothy Green.

In a recent Twitter interview with Werner Herzog for the DVD release of his film My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? David Lynch tweeted in (like he does) asking Werner to “share the story of when Werner bravely saved Joaquin Phoenix‘s life”and Werner so kindly and simply told one of the best, random film stories to date.
Not long after First Look posted the video of Werner answering the question, the very talented Sascha Ciezata approached the company about creating an animated version of Herzog’s incredible tale using the audio from the social media press day.
Check out Ciezata’s animation and Werner’s original response below…
