Joaquin Phoenix Explains Leaving Role of Doctor Strange
Joaquin Phoenix explained in an interview with Time Out London his reluctance to participate in modern big-budget blockbusters and, in particular, in the movie "Doctor Strange" based on the Marvel comics. According to the actor, he prefers plots focused not on events, but on characters. "When I was younger, I treated them with a great deal of snobbery. But since then they have gotten better. I even flirted with several similar projects, meeting with their creators and participating in negotiations, but frankly, never felt that it was for me. There are too many conditions that conflict with my ideas about the characters. I have never had to make such compromises. And, unfortunately, so far I have not had to meet directors who, during the discussion of the script, said like: "You know, God bless them, with these descriptions of scenes, let's concentrate on the hero." I can understand them, but I prefer not to participate in this, "he said. At the same time, Phoenix admitted that he enjoys watching modern science fiction movies. "Have you seen the last episodes of Star Trek? This Chris Pine kid is a genius. I don't know if I would like to take part in these movies. In the past I have read the scripts of some of them, so 75 percent of the descriptions are about asteroids plowing outer space. ", - added the actor. Recall that Phoenix's last work at the time of this writing was his role in the movie "Irrational Man". The Topic of Article: Joaquin Phoenix Explains Leaving Role of Doctor Strange. |
