Phoenix Rises at Theater Bookers' Party

It was a friendly and funny Joaquin Phoenix who wandered into yesterday's Motion Picture Club luncheon at the Marriott Marquis Hotel. The Oscar-nominated star of Gladiator and Quills arrived with his girlfriend, Topaz, a lovely young South African woman who is neither a model nor an actress. (She is, however, something of a ringer for Gwyneth Paltrow.) He was not what you might call "dressed up," but he was ready for action.

"Where are we?" he asked me.

In fact, Phoenix had shown up at the invitation of star-of-tomorrow Casey Affleck, who dates Joaquin's sister, Summer. Casey and Summer took seats on the dais. Joaquin declined. "I get sick if I sit on a dais. Ask my doctor."

Instead, the loyal pal and Topaz sat through the entire 2-and-a-half-hour proceeding at the same table with actress Lena Olin, whose husband director Lasse Hallstrom won Best Director. Phoenix clapped enthusiastically, and quipped away — he has a vicious sense of humor only partially seen so far on film — as he learned about the immense hidden power of the theater bookers who comprise the organization.

Phoenix was particularly bemused when Casey Affleck, lacking someone to introduce him, did the honors himself. "I've known Casey since we worked on To Die for together," said Affleck. Some of the audience didn't seem sure of what was happening. "Those three Oscar nominations, they meant nothing to me, but to Casey …"

Eventually, Affleck accepted his own award and sat down. He gets high marks for trying to make the best of a dreary New York afternoon.

AArticle from the Danish newspaper " BT"                                               Wednesday June 13th. Interview with Mogens Rukov the man "behind" Thomas Vinterberg's success — He is not well known in the public, but in the film business, he is known to be one of the most important men behind Danish movies. He is the co-writer of "The Celebration" and "It is all about love." Outwardly it is Vinterberg that is Wonderberg, but Thomas has never hidden how important Mogens Rukov has been for "The Celebration's" huge success. Today wednesday, Mogens Rukov is off to Trollhättan to have a talk with Thomas Vinterberg. There is a problem in the script of " It is all about love" that needs to be solved. Mogens Rukov was asked for his advice, when they had to cast the actors for "It is all about love". They ended up with Joaquin Phoenix and Claire Danes. On how they got Joaquin for the role - Rukov says, " Thomas had called me, then we had watched some actors (auditioning) on video, and he told me that he wanted to go to the American military barracks in Stuttgart- Germany where Joaquin Phoenix was filming Buffalo Soldiers. I told him that that was not my job, but I went with him anyway"  -" When we arrived in the limousine, Joaquin was filming in the shooting range so we had to change the car to a more cross-country vehicle . When we finally arrived to a small glade in the forest a little guy came towards us. Thomas told him that we were very interested in him. Joaquin stated that he had not read such an interesting screenplay in years. When Thomas told him that he should expect a contract offer, Joaquin was standing touchingly silent, looked to the ground and said 'I am so happy for that. On why he is working with Vinterberg, Mogens Rukov says " I guess we need each other. I like him and I think he likes me, we are two very different characters. Thomas has a quality that not even can be described, a large feeling and nearness to people, even where there is a distance. He is a great director."
