I think Joaquin Phoenix is funny…

wi20010325_joaquinphoenix_mccoy_161623.jpg

Joaquin Phoenix, who is almost always a jerk in interviews, set a new standard for surliness with Time Out New York’s Laura Leu this week. When Leu asked by phone how he prepared for his role as a drug-addicted nightclub manager in “We Own the Night”, Phoenix responded, “I never prepare. I think that’s completely overrated. It’s a very simple job. All you have to do is…stand in the right spot and say the line. So I don’t believe in preparation.” When Leu pressed, “But you prepared for Ladder 49 by training with a fire academy,” testy Phoenix replied, “I just said that because I thought it would sound good to the press. I don’t know why it seems to be of note that actors do any kind of preparation. It’s just what you’re supposed to do in your [bleep]ing job. Do you think that because you did some research you deserve some special credit?” Then he hung up on her. Leu’s editor said of the call, “Laura was really excited to interview him, but when he hung up on her out of the blue, she was disappointed. She was supposed to speak with him for half an hour, but was only given 10 minutes.”

This is so funny… I love him. I don’t know why, but I do. Wait…didn’t he do guitar and singing lessons for “Walk the Line”? Isn’t that preparation and not just standing in the right spot spitting out some lines? I could be wrong.

Mark Wahlberg and Joaquin Phoenix almost starred in Brokeback Mountain.

MARK WAHLBERG is glad filmmaker ANG LEE passed over him when he cast BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, because the Oscar nominee was “a little creeped out” at the prospect of having to play a gay cowboy.

The DEPARTED star reveals he and pal JOAQUIN PHOENIX were originally considered for the roles of ENNIS DEL MAR and JACK TWIST in the 2005 film – but both felt uncomfortable about sex act scenes in a tent.

Wahlberg explains, “I met with Ang Lee on that movie, I read 15 pages of the script and got a little creeped out. It was very graphic, descriptive – the spitting on the hand, getting ready to do the thing.

“I told Ang Lee, ‘I like you, you’re a talented guy, if you want to talk about it more…’ Thankfully, he didn’t.” The parts eventually went to JAKE GYLLENHAAL and HEATH LEDGER and, though Wahlberg feels it’s a film he must see, he has yet to watch Brokeback Mountain.
He adds, “I didn’t rush to see Brokeback, it’s just not my deal… Obviously, it was done in taste – look how it was received.”

Joaquin Phoenix in Blackbook magazine

Joaquin interviews the band Arckid (who used to be called Spacehog) which is a little odd because Royston Langdon of Arckid married Joaquin’s ex-girlfriend Liv Tyler and the rumours were that she was bedding Royston behind Joaquin’s back and that’s why they split.

A cast can’t get much better than this.

Hollywood agents and managers are on red alert this week. Oscar-nominated director Terry George, who brought “Hotel Rwanda” to life and garnered numerous awards, is casting the fourth of a quartet of actors to star in his next film.

George is set to begin shooting “Reservation Road” on Oct. 1 in Connecticut for Focus Features. The story, based on Jonathan Burnham Schwartz’s novel, centers on two couples and what happens when one husband kills the child of the other in a hit-and-run.

So far, Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Ruffalo are set to play the male leads. Jennifer Connelly is on board as Phoenix’s wife, a role that George tells me every actress in her age range has coveted. But the part of Ruffalo’s wife, which is said to be just as good, if not better, is still open.

George is said to be considering a slew of actresses, from Annabella Sciorra to Christina Applegate, with plenty of other names tossed in there, including Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Parts this meaty for young actresses don’t come along very often anymore, so you can imagine the jockeying for position on George’s list.

I am told the director himself is currently rewriting and tinkering with Schwartz’s script to get it exactly right.

Filming is set for Oct. 1, and George should have an easier time in Connecticut than he did a couple of years ago while filming “Hotel Rwanda” in the tougher neighborhoods of Johannesburg. You never know, though. Those Greenwich matrons can be pretty tough if you cross them the wrong way!’
