Magnolia Pictures has picked up world rights to "I'm Still Here," Casey Affleck's pic chronicling Joaquin Phoenix's foray into hip-hop, with a release planned for Sept. 10.

Movie follows a year in Phoenix's life after he publicly gave up acting and tried to establish himself as a musician. Distribution deal was negotiated by Tom Quinn, Dori Begley and Chris Matson of Magnolia, with WME's Liesl Copland.

Pic joins a slate of upcoming Magnolia releases, including "The Extra Man," "Night Catches Us" and "Smash his Camera." Company also released "Two Lovers," the most recent Phoenix film.

...awesome.  Posters similar to this, but in silhouette with no words, are pasted all over LA too.

Movie aside, the poster is great.

Trying to figure out if this is a sequel or prequel to this.

That's an awfully grandiloquent trailer for a movie in which somebody takes a shit on Joaquin Phoenix's chest.

Isn't that the point?  Seems like it's part of the joke.

Honestly, I don't know what the point is.

I'm not sure either.  It was a legitimate question.
How much of a joke is this?

This looks like something that got out of hand, really.

I said from the beginning this was all a construction - it's a commentary on celebrity. They took a well known, well respected actor and basically played a trick on all of us. And the media just ate it up every step of the way. The joke is on them, really. There is going to be a lot of discussion around this release (not just here) and I for one can't wait.
He held on. The dolphin and all the rest of its pod turned and swam out to sea, and still he held on. This is it, he thought. Then he remembered that they were air-breathers too. It was going to be all right.

Really?  Because everyone seemed to catch on to the fact that it was a put on pretty quickly.
