Despite rumors of James Woods and Joaquin Phoenix being cast in the pic, "nobody is definitely aboard, although (Phoenix) is well into the negotiating stage." Phoenix is up for the role of Lemar Moglio, the private eye hired by George Reeves' mother to investigate her son's mysterious death. Woods may play Howard Strickling, a Hollywood studio's "fixer."

A quote: "And the Oscar goes to his brother

Best supporting actor Oscar nominee for his role as emperor Commodus
in the movie Gladiator, Joaquin Phoenix already knows to whom he's
going to dedicate the doll, in case he takes it home. He spread on
the Hollywood media that he owes all his success to his brother River
Phoenix, who died of an overdose in 1993, at the age of 23. "Who
sould be in my place is River. Because of him and his talent, I got
into cinema", affirmed Joaquin, who added : "He had all the shine and
charisma to get not only one, but several Oscars"."

Joaquin, 27, has become a bona-fide star, with hits such as "Signs"
and "Gladiator." Summer, 21, is the family's fresh-faced, off-kilter
ingenue, appearing in HBO's "The Laramie Project" and in "The
Believer." Rain, 29, appeared in last year's "O" and HBO's "Stranger

23-09-Dr StrangePaula from the Grove translated more  from the text under the pictures on the Japanese site, thanks  a lot for that

Q: We heard that Mel Gibson who plays Graham Hess played lots of jokes on you during filming. What kinds of things did he do?
A: During filming he put Vaseline on the door of my trailer; not just once either! (Laughs) But I was very happy to work with Mel because he is a brilliant actor. He has so much experience and doesn't put on the airs and graces of a star. He really cared about us as acting partners and I think I was able to learn a lot from working with him.

Q: What do you think the point of "SIGNS" is?
A: I DON'T KNOW! That's my favourite answer and maybe you'll hear it a lot today (Laughs) I think the point is lots of things: there are scary parts and there is humour and I think they are all woven together. (to translator) Please try to make that sound more intelligent.

Q: Please tell us your first impressions of Japan
A: I've only been in Japan for seven hours and I've only been inside the hotel so it's difficult to say. The Park Hyatt Hotel is a great place! (laughs). Everyone has been very kind but I heard it's because they are paid well to be, so I don't know what to believe!

Q: We hear you like tofu; do you plan on eating tofu while you are here?
A: Yes, I really like tofu, but if I say that then in tomorrow's papers it'll say "Joaquin Phoenix came here to eat tofu", won't it? Please write that I didn't come here just to eat tofu.

22-09-A clip from Joaquin interview in Japan HERE

It is about 26 minutes long, Joaquin is funny in it, but sometimes you can't hear him that well

*Fani tranlsted the text under the Pictures from The Japanese site

The translation:
The newest movie from the director of The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, Signs, was introduced by main actor Joaquin Phoenix, who had come to Japan. Before the all-night premiere showing of Signs in the biggest movie theatre in Japan came Joaquin's greeting. He stood in front of the screen. I heard about Joaquin in (((some movie name in Japanese ))) and after seeing Gladiator, I thought that he was a good actor. I had wondered, what the real Joaquin would be like, but my imagination had been so different that I was surprised. It was like, "Is this really a Hollywood actor that was nominated for an Oscar?" Before Joaquin came to the stage, the announcer explained "His a very shy person". But I found him more than very shy, it was the first time I met a Hollywood star who stared at the floor and seemed very nervous and uneasy. It made me worry, if he had won the Oscar, would he have been able to make the speech?
Appearing in front of the screen, Joaquin first said, "This is how I really feel". Then he made his speech in Japanese (reading it from a piece paper). "I'm happy that I could come to Japan. Please enjoy the movie. How is Tama-chan?" Tama-chan? Everyone in the theatre laughed. From who did he hear about Tama-chan? (He looked very pleased, when everyone laughed) Suddenly he said "May I do rap?" and immediately after that he said "It was a joke" and looked down, uneasily. Although being shy, Joaquin making a joke and looking very pleased when succeeding was very cute. I'd not though that he would be a man described as cute, but after meeting him, I think he really is a shy and a cute person.
The Japanese woman in the pictures with Joaquin is a Japanese idol. On her chest there was written Signs in katakana-marks. When asked, what do you think about the writing, Joaquin looked at the writing for a very long time, as if not knowing what to answer, and said "It's written well" Then he looked at the floor yet again.
I'm not satisfied with the event. This is because no questions about the movie was presented to Joaquin. Coming on the stage, Joaquin said his greeting immediately. Then right after that, came the idol woman, who said things like "I've seen Signs twice" and "My make-upper wrote Signs to my chest" then it was all over. I don't care about such things. Now that Joaquin finally was here, why couldn't they speak about the movie, about which parts of the movie are best or what kind of a person is Mel Gibson or Shyamalan? There should have been lots of things to ask. And we could here Joaquin's voice through the microphone only at the beginning and right after the shooting with the idol woman, the announcer said "The special guest, Joaquin Phoenix-san" and the event was about to end. At that point, Joaquin asked the interpreter to say thank you for all the people who had come there. Shouldn't the announcer and the idol thought more about the star who had come all the way from America?
About the movie, it was better than Unbreakable and worse than The Sixth Sense.

Q: Please tell us your first impressions of Japan
A: I've only been in Japan for seven hours and so embarrassingly I can only tell you about the hotel and round about it. The Park Hyatt Hotel is a great place! (laughs).

Q: We hear you like tofu; do you plan on eating tofu while you are here?
A: Yes, I really like tofu, but if I say that then in tomorrow's papers it'll say "Joaquin Phoenix came here to eat tofu", won't it? Please write that I didn't come here just to eat tofu.

16-09-Thanks to Maya from Joaqrophenia for typing this out for us

This Morning interview with Joaquin Phoenix - broadcast on Friday
13th September on ITV UK. Interviewed by Paul Ross - interspersed with film
clips.

Joaquin looked lovely, charcoal grey /green open necked shirt.
Seemed nervous, nodding/rocking of head

Joaquin: "Luckily everyone on this film had a great sense of humour, and uh
there were plenty of moments where we relieved the tension uh with
laughter, which is important. Between Mel and Night and the kids, it
was hard for me actually to keep a straight face."

"There's nothing like that feeling where I've felt completely in
touch with the character and with the environment that they're in
and I felt that I was, was working perfectly with the, with the
other actors and with the Director and with every element that goes
into making the film. There's nothing like that feeling."

Paul Ross: So did making the movie change Joaquin's beliefs in the
para normal?

Joaquin: "There have been times in my life where I felt that I have seen
signs. There have been indications of things to come."

The premiere date has been confirmed to be the 10th of January 2003.

*Marissa also send me this :), it is from the person who interviewed Joaquin for the Danish Newspaper :)

Susanne Johansson : "Even though you cannot really claim that you know someone after just 30 minutes of meeting them, I have to say he seems totally sweet, very sympathic and down to earth. And in top of all that also a bit shy and modest, like he cannot really understand the big interest for him as a person. A few times you could feel that he got a bit irritated. Like when he was asked on why he is a vegan. I guess he thinks he has talked about that topic enough. But he was still so professional that he answered the question."

Phoenix Tricked During 'Signs' Production (Not like we haven't read this before :lol)

September 9, 2002

Joaquin Phoenix found himself locked in a closet on the set of his new film "Signs" - thanks to a practical joke by castmates.

The actor - who appears alongside Mel Gibson in the flick - found life with the movie veteran is rarely dull.

He says, "We had great fun on the set of my new movie 'Signs.' There's this scene where I'm watching TV in a closet and when we filmed it, it suddenly got very quiet and I slowly realised that everyone had left the set."

"I was locked in the closet going, 'Hey! Guys! What's going on?' for about 20 minutes!"
