Joaquin Phoenix to do the Johnny Cash story?

I heard that too. Don't remember where. IMDb?

eoe, It's just difficult for me to imagine Joaquin as Johnny Cash. I know I saw it somewhere on the news. I'll try and search it out again. What's IMDb?

Well, that was easy.

Who the heck is Reese Witherspoon?

Letty....link to IMDb

Reese Witherspoon was the lead in the Legally Blonde films.

There's a slight resemblance, even. I think he'll be great. He proved his mettle in Gladiators to me. People absolutely despised his character, a sure sign of a good actor. Reese as June is what's throwing me but she will probably do well also. These are two of the more talented young actors around today.

Thanks, line man. I just didn't recognize the abbreviation. I have never seen any of the Legally Blonde stuff, though.

eoe, Joaquin Phoenix is one of the finest actors that I have ever watched. I loved him in 16 millimeter with Nicholas Cage, and he was far better than Russell Crowe in Gladiator, I thought. I just can't see enough of a resemblance to Johnny Cash, but Hollywood can do wonders. Hope Joaquin is good at lip sync. I've never seen anyone do that better than George Clooney in O Brother Where Art Thou.

As an aside, Turner is trying to get A2K'ers to write a novel. Should either of you like a link, I will provide it.

I wish they would wait on a Johnny Cash film.
I loved the man.....let him be for a while.....

You've got a point, shepaints. I think it's a little too soon also.

Mornin', folks. Production doesn't start till June, and it will probably take a while to complete the picture, so perhaps it will time out all right.

Probably won't be out until 2005.
