Joaquin Phoenix and Todd Haynes are teaming up for the director’s upcoming NC-17 gay film.

In a recent interview with IndieWire, Haynes confirmed the movie will be his project after May December, the romantic drama that just premiered at Cannes. “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,” the filmmaker revealed. “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. It’s a gay love story set in 1930s L.A.”

“Joaquin was pushing me further and going, ‘No, let’s go further.’ This will be an NC-17 film,” Haynes continued. He also noted that he has a number of additional projects in the near future, “I have more features planned. I have also episodic projects coming that are planned, that are really exciting. I’m going back to work with Kate Winslet with something she brought me for HBO.”

Stay tuned for more info.
