Director Todd Haynes, whose latest film “May December” received commendable reviews at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival, says he is collaborating with Joaquin Phoenix on a gay love story set in 1930s Los Angeles.
The filmmaker said that the script of the film is based on some ideas pitched by “Joker” star Phoenix, who will also be credited as a story writer on the project alongside Haynes and Jon Raymond. “The next film is a feature that’s an original script that I developed with Joaquin Phoenix based on some thoughts and ideas he brought to me. We basically wrote with him as a story writer. Me and Jon Raymond and Joaquin share the story credit. And we hope to be shooting it beginning early next year.
