What role would entice Joaquin Phoenix out of retirement?

by Matt Holmes

Joaquin Phoenix's extremely premature retirement is a sad loss to cinema, I hate seeing talented actors lose their passion too early. BUT, I have a feeling one role might be so juicy, might be so exciting for him, joining a team of the best artists working in cinema today and reading the writing material that has already spawned several fantastic performances a series might entice him back quickly. If one director lays down the challenge to Phoenix and I would love him to do it, we might see Phoenix back on our screens in the Summer of 2011. If Chris Nolan wants Phoenix for The Riddler, I don't think he could refuse. Wouldn't ya just love to see it too? (this is not a rumor, or true story... just me pondering)... gothamunderground3
