Joaquin Phoenix Shoots ‘Reservation Road’

Joaquin Phoenix and Jennifer Connelly were spotted shooting opening scenes this past Tuesday, Oct. 3, for their upcoming film, Reservation Road. Joaquin, 31, and Jennifer, 35, play the characters of Mr. & Mrs. Ethan and Grace Learner and shot scenes at the Olde Bluebird Inn and Olde Bluebird Garage in Easton, CT. 8-year-old Elle Fanning, Dakota Fanning’s younger sister, will also star in this film (see picture of Elle on set). More pictures in the gallery!

Reservation Road is about two families (Learner and Arno) becomes intertwined when the father from one kills the son of the other in a hit-and-run accident. The film will be directed by Terry George (Hotel Rwanda) and also stars Mark Ruffalo (Dwight Arno) and Mira Sorvino.

Joaquin of the most adorable people in the industry today, and I don’t think it need be mentioned that Jennifer is so beautiful and talented. I wonder if Paul was hanging around set with the kids!

We’ve been on the set with Phoenix and Connelly for three days. They look really dramatic and convincing. We can hear Connelly’s beautiful screaming in a clear voice for a long distance, and Phoenix’s cries of “Get an ambulance!” are scary and real. Having seen the real thing, the movie will be a real treat!

I have a problem picturing him in any way but as Johnny Cash. His acting is brilliant and I know it will be a great movie.

Thanks Jared! More set pictures would be highly appreciated, if possible. Also Joaquin and Jennifer worked together before, in “Inventing the Abbotts.” Good movie!

Joaquin has a scar not a harelip.

Kenya González @ 10/07/2006 at 3:22 am

Joaquín’s scar is called a microform cleft lip, not a hare lip, which is a term considered quite inappropriate. The microform is a rarity and almost a miracle of nature, open tissues on the upper lip that will become a cleft lip just get together spontaneously before birth, leaving the scar. I know this because I have exactly the same scar in the same place, which is uncommon in a woman but I have it. Let’s not consider Joaquín’s scar as something that should be hidden but as a characteristic that makes him unique, a true example of the diversity in human beings. Saludos desde México para todos.
