As reported by The Hollywood Reporter , Casey Affleck and Joaquin Phoenix will join forces for the filming of Far Bright Star ( "Distant Bright Star" *).Affleck will take the director's chair of the film, and Phoenix will play the main role in it. In addition, Casey will be producing the film, written by Damien Aubert ( Dominion ). The action of the western will unfold in 1916. Already a middle-aged cavalryman ( Phoenix ) becomes the head of a group of renegades of society, tracking down the legendary rebel Pancho Vilyu. But when the squad is attacked, only the main character remains alive, left to die in the desert.The film is based on the novel of the same name by Robert Olmsted .  At one time, the drama "I'm still here" , which tells about the life of Phoenix himself, earned mostly positive reviews from critics, but at the same time did not cause the same violent reaction from the audience. There is no information yet about when the shooting of the new tape will begin. Phoenix is known for being rather picky about project choices. So, the actor more than once refused the roles in blockbusters offered to him, and recently did not agree to take part in the work on the new film by M. Night Shyamalan. This year, Joaquin could be seen in Woody Allen's drama Irrational Man.  Casey Affleck hasn't sat in the director's chair since I'm Still Here . Recently, he has turned his attention to his acting career: next year, three films with his participation are scheduled to premiere at once - "Manchester by the Sea", "And the Storm Came" and "Three Nines". * -preliminary translation.
