Joker "The Joker" in development with Todd Phillips and Martin Scorsese attached? - Part 2

[TheSmoothKnight]

Nice runtime

 

[NotNickFury]

Right in line with Taxi Driver's runtime.

Which, in light of hearing that name brought up when talking about Joker, is a film I still need to see.

That and hearing that it's a great movie.

She and artistic director Cameron Bailey were especially impressed by three-time Oscar nominee Joaquin Phoenix’s all-stops-out performance in DC’s “Batman” spin-off “Joker,” directed by Todd Phillips. “It’s an original story, not part of the existing canon,” Bailey said. “It does take the character and a lot of the elements that we know from Joker’s backstory. But it’s an original story that allows the filmmakers to go in an original direction. It’s got some real dark tones to it, but it’s just grounded in this career-best career performance by Joaquin Phoenix. I think all the awards bodies will be taking notice.”

This is so damn good to hear!!

 

[Closerframe]

Career best? That doesn't surprise me. I just hope he's recognized come award season because it seems like he'll be the performance that carries the film.

 

[Gothamsknight]

I think he's gonna do a fantastic job. Now i just wish it was October so we can finally see this thing

I heard from another guy that he loved Birds of Prey but found this one to be too disturbing to his taste. But still good. I am really interesed to see how the people will react to this movie.

That just makes me more hype than ever.

I don't think the kinds of people that'd like Birds of Prey would like this movie anyway. Different kind of audience lol

 

[Orb]

Given the snide remarks from certain critics over Joker premiering at TIFF, this movie has an uphill battle to overcome lol.

This is gonna be a controversial movie nonetheless.

Bailey told The Associated Press that “Joker” is somewhat of a first for the festival.

“This is our first entry into the superhero world as far as I can remember,” he said. “But it’s a really original vision. It’s disturbing, utterly compelling, really gripping from start to finish. ... And one of the most remarkable things is that Joaquin Phoenix, in a career of great performances, gives one of his very best.”

 

[HammerDown]

According to TIFF it clocks in at 122 minutes.

 

[jemoen]

In competition.

 

[TMP98]

IN COMPETITION? Joaquin might actually win the Oscar for this. Wow.

 

[jemoen]

The man in the press conference praised the film and Joaquín but he said it's a prequel to The Dark Knight ? ..

 

[Greens]

He said it's darker than TDK.
