Joaquin Phoenix's prison screening
Dec 22, 2005, 13:51 GMT
Joaquin Phoenix is to host a special screening of new Johnny Cash biopic 'Walk The Line' at Folsom State Prison - the place where Cash famously played a controversial concert for inmates.
The Hollywood actor, who stars as the late country singer in the film, will introduce the movie at the screening, organised by the film's distributors 20th Century Fox, on January 3.
Cash's original performance at the Californian jail, in 1968, was made into a live album and the concert is depicted in the critically acclaimed movie. Earlier this month, Phoenix was reported to have had a steamy on set affair with co-star Ginnifer Goodwin while filming 'Walk the Line'. The handsome actor allegedly romanced the screen beauty throughout shooting but then cruelly dumped the actress - who played his wife in the movie - the day before they filmed their character's break-up scene. However, Phoenix's spokeswoman, Susan Patricola, denied the affair took place, saying: 'Can you have a romance without going on a date?'Copyright 2005 BANG Media International
