The Thing Called Love (1993) Cosmic cruelty redux: After finishing this drama about lovin' and singin' in Nashville, Bogdanovich sustained another blow when star River Phoenix died of a drug overdose. "I absolutely adored him," Bogdanovich says. "I thought he was a real artist—a genius, actually. It was horrible what happened." Paramount's interest waned. "They were talking about reissuing it and trying a new campaign, but when he died they just gave up."
