Some time ago, actor Joaquin Phoenix decided he wanted to retire from Hollywood and become a Hip Hop artist. In this funny and somewhat awkward clip, Diddy takes Joaquin to task over what he’s really willing to invest to get serious. The movie I’m Still Here is directed by actor Casey Affleck, and hits theaters this Friday, September 10.
Here’s the full synopsis from Magnolia Films:
The directorial debut of Oscar-nominated actor Casey Affleck, I’M STILL HERE is a striking portrayal of a tumultuous year in the life of internationally acclaimed actor Joaquin Phoenix. With remarkable access, I’M STILL HERE follows the Oscar-nominee as he announces his retirement from a successful film career in the fall of 2008 and sets off to reinvent himself as a hip hop musician. Sometimes funny, sometimes shocking, and always riveting, the film is a portrait of an artist at a crossroads. Defying expectations, it deftly explores notions of courage and creative reinvention, as well as the ramifications of a life spent in the public eye.
