  1. This should settle the “gay actors should play gay roles” debate. There are plenty of actually gay actors who’d jump at this chance, whether it’s 5 days before or not. Gays are masters at performing under pressure. Saying he can’t be recast is just poor journalism.

  2. They have a script. They know the content. And the Director knows how he intends to film it. Itโ€™s not unusual for the Director and studio to know the rating that theyโ€™re aiming for before filming begins. Shame on Joaquin for bailing at the last minute. His actions affect the entire crew and everyone involved with the film.
