Joker Movie Gets Title
DC/WB announced today that the Joaquin Phoenix led Joker movie has a title. The name of the movie will be.... wait for it..... Joker.
That's pretty much it. DC has moved forward on this project, along with another Joker project starring Jared Leto. Each movie starring a version of the Joker origin story. As we discussed on the Marvel Hacks Podcast, it seems now, each (white) method actor wants to take their shot at playing the Joker role to see if they can equal or better the performance of the late Heath Ledger. DC seems to be going along with this hoping to catch lighting in a bottle again without thinking: Does anyone really want to see a story about the Joker's origin and how do you make a movie about a psychopath who has not heroic tendencies?
The Joker is a fun character to play with but he is a homicidal maniac. There is no "jokes" to the character like Deadpool. His Jokes lead to massive amounts of death and suffering and I am not sure the movie going public has two hours of that in them... let alone 2 movies of it.
DC/WB still seem to be floundering trying to find their way in this superhero pool. I am not sure if two Joker movies is the way out tho.
The Producer
All in all Wayne expressed that it was a waste of time and money pitching his film there. I've heard the same opinion from other filmmakers that are frustrated with the film festival scene and no longer see it as a good way to secure movie distribution.

The original writers from the first aren't coming back instead Kieran and Michele Mulroney are taking over the job. So let's see how they handle it. Relatively new to writing, the two previously wrote Paper Man which didn't fair so well with critics.

You understand your projects stand out of the crowd. There is something unique about them. It seems to me all of them are brilliant. http://www.k9th.com/th/joker123
ReplyDeleteA movie without a definite direction becomes a disaster, as such most of the times it is the director who determines a certain tone of the movie subject. 123movies
ReplyDeleteNow we can all share in the universal movie experience. As well as being universal, movies are made for everyone young and old. 123 movies
ReplyDeleteAs such, magazine subscriptions that cater to these types are also good choices. These include print and online types. Though I will say you'll want to go beyond the more mainstream types of Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stones, etc.
