Casey Affleck Filming Joaquin Phoenix's Music Career

January 16, 2009

Casey Affleck will track the musical career of Joaquin Phoenix behind the lens of a camera, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Affleck is directing a documentary feature on Phoenix, his friend and fellow actor who last spring decided to swap the acting business for a musical one.

Phoenix is embarking on a new path as a rapper, with an album to be produced by Sean Combs. He is scheduled to make his first public performance Friday at a Las Vegas club, which will officially kick off Affleck's shoot.
