Perhaps hoping to get the film out from under the wave of bad press associated with lawsuits targeting director Casey Affleck for sexual harassment on set, distributors Magnolia Pictures have just released the first poster for his moc-doc I'm Still Here.

A chronicle of brother-in-law Joaquin Phoenix's supposed retirement from acting to pursue a career in hip hop, the film is a comic moc doc slated for a September release.

The directorial debut of Oscar-nominated actor Casey Affleck, I'M STILL HERE is a striking portrayal of a tumultuous year in the life of internationally acclaimed actor Joaquin Phoenix. With remarkable access, I'M STILL HERE follows the Oscar-nominee as he announces his retirement from a successful film career in the fall of 2008 and sets off to reinvent himself as a hip hop musician. Sometimes funny, sometimes shocking, and always riveting, the film is a portrait of an artist at a crossroads. Defying expectations, it deftly explores notions of courage and creative reinvention, as well as the ramifications of a life spent in the public eye.
No trailer yet, but one should be coming soon. I'd keep an eye on the freshly launched official website for that.
