I’m Still Here trailer debut

The trailer for the “Joaquin Phoenix has a giant public meltdown documentary (mockumentary?) I’m Still Here has debuted online. Frankly, the tone of it is a little more melancholy than we had anticipated. I guess this isn’t going to be the Borat-esque knee-slapper we had hoped.

The Casey Affleck-directed doco follows Phoenix’s attempts to retire from acting in 2008 and begin a career in hip-hop. As we all know, the transition was not a smooth one.

Check out the trailer below and share your thoughts (courtesy of Yahoo).

I’m Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix opens September 10 in the United States, with an Australian release to follow.

Discuss: Surely Phoenix is first in line to star in that John Belushi biopic?
