Casey Affleck To Direct Joaquin Phoenix Documentary

Like big brother Ben before him, Casey Affleck is turning his talents to behind the camera, directing a documentary on close pal and brother-in-law Joaquin "Bye! Good" Phoenix.

The documentary will chronicle Phoenix's abrupt transition from an Oscar-nominated acting career to a burgeoning musical one.

While the amateur guitar-strummer and Johnny Cash channeler extraordinaire announced last spring that he would be cutting a more rock-centric album, word now is that Phoenix's debut will be as a rapper under the tutelage of none other than Diddy.

Rapper, eh? Poor guy, must be having a breakdown.

Not only brothers-in-law but fellow thespians in "To die for". They both aced their roles portraying quintessential slacker loser teenagers.
No one's ever played them better than Casey Affleck and Joaquin Phoenix.

Epitome of self-indulgence.

Awesome! I will totally not watch it!

Wow. This guy learns guitar four years ago for a movie role and suddenly he's a musician.

We all know where this is going.

This will be the funniest 'r(m)ockumentary' since Spinal Tap.

Phoenix is a helluva an actor but what went terribly wrong?

Rapper? Cash wannabe? Rocker?

Success can be cruel to some.

Have fun in oblivion, Joaquin. What a waste of talent.
