Casey Affleck: Joaquin Phoenix Documentary Was Fake (Well Duh)

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

Breaking News: Casey Affleck has admitted that his Joaquin Phoenix documentary, I’m Still Here, is fake. Affleck followed that bombshell by admitting that he and Ben Affleck ar brothers, and that he really likes Boston. He then went on to give the dumbest quote in the history of man (or in at least the past two days):

“I never intended to trick anybody…The idea of a quote, hoax, unquote, never entered my mind.”

Really, that’s weird. Usually when I’m lying out my teeth while taking part in an elaborate hoax, it crosses my mind. Then again, I’m not the type of person who says "quote/unquote" out loud, so maybe I can’t relate because I’m not a pretentious #sshole. Although I find that hard to believe, considering my love of A Prairie Home Companion…the radio show, of course, not the movie. (NYT via /Film)

We finally have a first look at I’m Still Here, the "documentary" that chronicles Joaquin Phoenix‘s slow transformation into Zach Galifianakis. Directed by Casey Affleck, we’re given a front row seat to Phoenix’s imaginary breakdown. Absolutely riveting (in an imaginary way).

The trailer has a pretty cool voice-over. Is that Edward James Olmos? I think it is. If so, somebody get that guy a job selling Ford trucks immediately.

Check it out after the jump…
