Polaris will mark Ramsay's second collaboration with Phoenix after 2017 psychological thriller You Were Never Really Here.
Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara are attached to star in Polaris, the next feature from acclaimed writer and director Lynne Ramsay. The filmmaker revealed the news in an interview with El Espanol (via TheFilmStage) while attending the Valencia International Film Festival to collect the Luna de Valencia award, which will mark her second movie with Phoenix after 2017's psychological thriller You Were Never Really Here.
Any plot details, or even a shred of information beyond that is virtually non-existent at this stage, but based on how their last creative partnership turned out, the prospect of Ramsay and Phoenix reuniting is a massively exciting one, and Ramsay had high praise for the actor in anticipation of their next project.
This is what Ramsay had to say about Phoenix:
"He’s crazy, but he’s the best actor I’ve ever met. Everything he does on the set has a reason. It’s much more difficult when you come up with an original idea like this, but it’s impossible not to get excited when you’re preparing a movie with Joaquin."
Phoenix and Mara have been out of the spotlight recently, with the engaged duo having focused their attention and energy on family life. The former hasn't been seen onscreen since winning an Academy Award for Best Actor in Todd Phillips' Joker, while Mara's last acting credit came in Garth Davis' Biblical drama Mary Magdalene, which was released in the spring of 2018.
