Joaquin Phoenix and Robert Pattinson hit the red carpet for the New York premiere of Beau Is Afraid

Joaquin Phoenix and Robert Pattinson kicked off their weekend early with the New York premiere of Beau Is Afraid.

The 48-year-old Phoenix, who just wrapped production on Joker: Folie a Deux, hit the red carpet with writer-director Ari Aster and co-stars Richard Kind, Stephen Mckinley Henderson, Armen Nahapetian, Amy Ryan, Kylie Rogers and Julia Antonell .

Pattinson, 36, is not starring in the upcoming movie — scheduled to release on April 21 — but he was spotted on the red carpet posing with Aster.

Phoenix went out wearing a white shirt under a black jacket and black sunglasses for the screening.

He sported the early start of a beard with black pants while finishing his look with black Converse low top sneakers.

Pattison went out wearing a black shirt underneath a red plaid shirt with buttons and a black coat.

He also rocked a brown trucker cap along with a five o’clock shadow just like Phoenix’s.

Beau Is Afraid is the third feature film written and directed by Ari Aster, following his 2018 feature film debut Hereditary and 2019’s Midsommar.

The film follows Phoenix’s title character Beau Wassermann, whose life is turned upside down after the sudden death of his mother (Patti LuPone).

Beau, described as a “gentle but fear-ridden man,” must face his deepest fears as “he embarks on an epic, Kafkaesque odyssey back home.”

Aster had been developing the feature film for years, with one of his shorts, 2011’s Beau, inspiring a sequence in the feature film.

The filmmaker described the project as a “nightmare comedy” and a “Jewish Lord of the Rings, but he just goes to his mother’s house.”

The film cost $35 million and would be indie distributor A24’s most expensive film to date.

Richard Kind, who Dr. Cohen stars in the movie, arrived on the red carpet wearing a yellow shirt under a brown jacket with blue jeans and brown shoes.

Amy Ryan, who plays Grace in the movie, stepped out in a dark blue pantsuit with a gold necklace and gold earrings with black heels.

Kylie Rogers, who plays Toni in the film, opted for a unique white halter top with wide-leg white pants.

Aster also posed at the premiere with another special guest, Jerrod Carmichael, rocking a black suit, orange tie, and brown overcoat.

Rowan Blanchard was also spotted on the red carpet, sporting a dark blue top and matching skirt.

Michael Cera also entered the red carpet wearing a green shirt under a blue jacket with black pants and brown boots.

Aidy Bryant rocked an all black look on the red carpet for the upcoming film.

The stars also all took the stage to introduce the new film for the screening.
