Last year I went to a press junket for Two Lovers, a very good little film that starred Joaquin Phoenix; Joaquin had just made headlines for his druggy, hairy appearance on Letterman, and he showed up to the press day in the same state. Following him with a movie camera was Casey Affleck, shooting a documentary supposedly about the actor attempting to transition into a rap career (which is really not for him).
I wrote an editorial about the experience, which got picked up all over the country and led to me being featured in the A&E Biography of Joaquin (and one for Bill Murray, too, which is pretty fucking cool). Now the film that Affleck was working on is apparently finished, and it screened for potential buyers this week in a hush hush session.
What is the movie? No clue. Deadline, who has the scoop, is referring to it as a mockumentary. I have heard that the film is not kind to the press; I gave an interview to Affleck and was recorded at the junket with Joaquin, so I’m curious if I make an appearance in this movie. Deadline reports that the plan right now is to keep the movie as under wraps as possible, so don’t expect too many early reports.
If you’ve seen this film or know anything about it, feel free to get in touch with me.

Basically, Joaquin's shtick was an act and the movie makes fun of everyone in the media who took him seriously.
A mockumentary? Wow, that's so out of left field. Nobody saw that one coming.
But nobody in the media took this seriously.
WHAT!!! I thought this was about cleft's transition into a real music career? Now your telling me I have been "had"… damn you "the less talented" version of River Phoenix…
It was clever of Devin to sneak a story about Joaquin Phoenix into a piece about himself.
If you believed they put a man on the moon, man on the moon
If you believe there's nothing up my sleeve, then nothing is cool

@#5 spot on my friend.
Wow, a career-killer in every possible way. I wonder if he'll claim some kind of post-traumatic stress issue from his brother's death. @5 & 7: And yet you stalk…
Interesting that Devin doesn't provide a link to the editorial he mentions – that's because it would reveal just how very much he was duped.
The only thing sadder than conspiracy theorists is Chud.com Comment Section Conspiracy Theorists (I'm looking at YOU, 5, 7, and 9).
which are all odd numbers…….
Hey Devin, nobody gives a shit that this story got you on A&E.
Fucking attention whore.
crassmonkey is clearly another fat virgin living in his mom's basement. Why do these pathetic losers feel the need to come to websites and trash them?
Night of the Lepus.
Well played #11, well played.
Oh come on JMG84, all you can come up with is the tired old "fat virgin in his mom's basement" line?!?! I think you can do better than that, why don't you give it another try slugger?
You didn't do much better crass. I get the feeling a lot of you could just stop reading Devon's articles but don't because if you did it would be one less victory of throwing proverbial stones at someone who cares so much he doesn't even bother to acknowlege you exist.
I like his Faraci-esque beard.
They should call this movie "An Inconvenient Beard."
"Curious if I made it into the movie"….
