JOKER 2: Folie à Deux

[Ayahuasca]

The biggest shock was seeing Steve Coogan

Can't tell much from the trailer. It didn't show if it's going to be heavily musical other than a couple of clips.

They did this with Evita - almost hiding that there was hardly any dialogue. Probably why so many people left the cinema.

 

[Grim5]

Zero chance I watch this junk

 

[VincentHanna]

I think it looks brilliant, that last shot with the lip stick on the mirror *chef's kiss*

To be fair, that is a great shot.

 

[Zefan]

Hmmm it looks alright actually. I reckon they can make it work. It's Todd Phillips again so in the absence of any conflicting information one can colour me optimistic.

 

[Efour]

Ill watch it.

Todd has come out and said it isn’t a musical, just that music is an essential part of the story telling.

 

[VincentHanna]

15 songs being covered sounds like a lot to me.

I remain to be convinced- if we’re talking about something where music is used to enhance the film via the soundtrack, great. But if we’re talking about song performance within the film itself I’m a bit more hmmmmm.

I think it’s obvious from the trailer that there are song performances involved?

Not watched it yet, but *sad face*

 

[Jokester]

La La Land wearing a Joker skin.

 

[Richeh]

I hope it's good as very much enjoyed the first Joker movie but yeah, just not a fan of musicals. Doubt this will change that but a good team behind it.

 

[Bigpig]

I’m quite partial to a musical

 

[Hellsmk2]

Answered your own question right away

Yeah, you're not wrong, and I'll probably moan about it too.

 

[goldy6660]

The first one looked incredible. This will be great if it's more of the same

 

[Fubsy]

Remember, A Star is Born was a "musical" but it was a fantastic drama with excellent acting all round. Just because it has Gaga in it and some music shouldn't be a reason to write it off.

I hope it's good, and will likely go to a cinema to see it as I like to support films that are aimed at a  more adult audience.

Not really a musical in the traditional sense, they don't break in to song at each other to articulate their emotions.

It's a song about musicians, who perform on stage and sing to audiences.

Could it be possible that Joaquin Phoenix be the first Actor to win 2 Best Actor Oscars for the same role in the original film & its sequel? I wouldn't rule it out.

EDIT: Answer NO.
