EXCLUSIVE: Production on Todd Haynes' gay romance film is completely dead. The film has been in limbo for the past two weeks after Joaquin Phoenix reportedly stormed off the set of the movie, which also stars Top Gun: Maverick's Danny Ramirez. Producers have been trying to get the project back on track at the time.

Production is dead, not shut down, as there are no plans to recast Oscar-winner The Joker. Crew members on set in Guadalajara, Mexico are getting paid.
