EXCLUSIVE: Todd Haynes’ gay romance
De Noche, which shut down about a year ago, is being revived, with
Pedro Pascalcircling. According to sources, the plan is for this feature to get up and running in the New Year in Guadalajara, Mexico and a lot of that is being worked around the 4x Emmy nominated actor’s busy schedule from now into 2026.
This is a great ray of sunshine for a production which was long considered kaput after Oscar winner
Joaquin Phoenixleft the production after reportedly being a no-show on set for two weeks prior to its unplugging. Vachon has said publicly that Phoenix brought the project to Killer Films which has a long history making LGBTQ fare. It was never known exactly why
Joker Oscar winner Phoenix departed
De Noche. Vachon waved off gossip at last year’s San Sebastian Film Festival and
said that it was a “tragedy”that the Haynes film fell apart.
Pascal would join Danny Ramirez who was originally attached to the project. They’ll play two men in love who leave Los Angeles for Mexico, the feature set in the 1930s. Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler’s Killer Films is producing. Killer recently worked with Pascal on A24’s summer romantic comedy
Materialists ($85M worldwide).
