An actor pulling out of a movie five days before shooting leaves a lot of people on the hook. According to an inside source with knowledge of the film’s finances, multiple stakeholders on the Haynes project — from financiers to crew — still need to be compensated.

Weird (and, from the producer’s side, careless) that lead actors can do this with apparently zero consequences - at least the article is mum on whether Phoenix will be on the hook for any of that bill.
