Joaquin Phoenix is Johnny Cash

As we've mentioned before, we are huge Johnny Cash fans. So naturally we are hugely excited about the upcoming Walk the Line. We have to admit that our hearts were pounding when we saw the trailer in the theater the other weekend. And suprising as it is, Joaquin Phoenix can be painted to look like a decent JC look a-like. Vanity Fair has some outtake photos to whet your whistle.

While movies are all fine and good, what we really want is confirmation of various rumors of another American album that Rick Rubin had been planning to release posthumously. We assume the Master's final album is caught up in estate law headaches, but man, we just wish we could download a copy, you know?
