Witherspoon, Phoenix on Cash ‘Line’
Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon are teaming up to “Walk the Line,” the Johnny Cash biopic to be directed by James Mangold, with Phoenix set to star as the country music legend and Witherspoon toplining as his wife and bandmate June Carter. The Fox 2000 project, for which deals are still being negotiated, is gearing up to start production in the fall with Mangold’s wife, Columbia-based Cathy Konrad, producing along with James Keach. Co-written by Mangold and writing partner Gill Dennis, “Walk the Line” is described as a nontraditional biopic centering on a snapshot of Cash’s life with a focus on his younger years shifting to Memphis when country started to heat up.
