It's pretty much every stereotype of Hollywood actors rolled into one, only with more naked men than you'd think.

Joaquin pretty much made a joke of the entire industry with the help of some friends.

I thought it was pretty good from the standpoint of knowing he did it all as an act. I think anybody can play unstable and crazy. It's his non-actor friends that's acting should be applauded.

"The mockumentary proved to be a box office flop, with Box Office Mojo reporting a worldwide gross of just $553,130 as of December 2010."

Thud.

They weren't trying to make money off of it. lol

They spanned all kinds of real life situations like awards shows, club appearances, and movie premieres to make the film appear real.

If he gets blackballed by Hollywood for doing something original, then that kind of speaks for the industry's attitude.

I mean, they had the rumors set up, had actors and show hosts in on it and everything. It was a culminated effort to mock Hollywood, and I think it's genius.

Joaquin came back on the David Letterman show and talked about the whole thing. he said that the dude he fought at the club was some dude he paid to talk shit. and he said only him and his friends in the movie were in on it.

also LOL @ Diddy asking Casey Affleck "what was that one movie you were in?" and casey says "Jesse James" then diddy's like "nah that movie was kinda wack im talking bout that movie that was hot"

Just saw this last night on netflix. I hadn't read any of the reports as to whether or not it was a hoax, so it was pretty interesting to watch. I have to admit some of it was hard to watch, that was quite a trainwreck. After finding out it was a hoax I definitely appreciated it more. Crazy his dad was played by Affleck's actual dad. Also he looked like Zack Galifinakis.

Casey Affleck .... producer
Serena Rios Flores .... field producer: Hawaii
Joaquin Phoenix .... producer
Amanda White .... producer

Half of the investors were the creators of the film, and the other was the only outsider. White sued Casey Affleck during the filming of the movie, so I'm assuming it's safe to say there were only two real investors of this movie.

And They Are Going to Kill Us Productions was made for the sole intention of producing the film. Casey and Joaquin own it.
Distributors


Magnolia distributes many film festival films and documentaries.
Roadshow distributes mainly horror films and the occasional big budget thriller.
Clap distributes through Portugal with foreign films.
D Films is relatively new.

They all knew it was fake and the liability of investing in such a film.

You're not going to easily deceive people into investing in your film without them knowing all sides of the equation, if The Fourth Kind is any indication of what happens when you falsify the truth behind your film.
