Pedro Pascal in Talks for Todd Haynes Gay Romance After Joaquin Phoenix Dropped Out | Just Jared: Celebrity News and Gossip

Todd Haynes' 1930s-set gay romance film 'De Noche' is set to start production in Guadalajara, with Pedro Pascal starring and Killer Films producing after a previous shutdown.

  • Todd Haynes, Oscar-nominated filmmaker, is reviving De Noche with Pedro Pascal, actor reportedly circling the lead, as producers Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler plan to resume filming next year in Guadalajara, Mexico.
  • The project stalled after Joaquin Phoenix abruptly left last year just days before filming, undermining financing and international distributor agreements tied to his involvement.
  • Pascal is eyed to portray a corrupt cop fleeing 1930s Los Angeles for Mexico opposite Danny Ramirez, co-star attached as Joe, with Killer Films, which recently produced Materialists grossing 85 million, backing De Noche.
  • If talks move forward, filming will begin early next year and could debut mid-2026, possibly at the New York Film Festival, with producers working around Pedro Pascal's busy schedule as he contends for a Best Actor Emmy next month.
  • Haynes's project centers queer intimacy in a 1930s Mexico romance, and this revival could mark a pivotal moment for both Todd Haynes, director, and Pedro Pascal in queer representation.
