This studio should really spend some money and do some investigating about a star they want to attach to a really big budget movie.

The Oscar nominee/winner has some really big skeletons in the closet that would probably have escaped notice prior to the times we are living, but one of the victims is a very good friend of the actor being replaced and he is encouraging her to come forward because the actor thinks he will get his job back.

He won’t because he has his own demons.

Movie: Untitled Joker Origin Movie

Oscar winner actor: Joaquin Phoenix

Actor being replaced: Jared Leto

Very good friend: Scarlett Johansson
