Joker (2019)

ive searched for a thread on this but can’t find anything.

There’s a Joker origin movie coming next year starring Joaquin Pheonix as the Joker. He plays Arthur Fleck, a failed comedian, who gradually becomes the Joker. Is certainly a different but interesting take on the mad clown.

I think Pheonix looks a decent fit. He’s got the acting chops to do the deep, serious, psycho stuff. Looking forward to it.

First official released picture, will be interesting seeing which way they go with this one after the failure that was Leto.

However good or bad the film itself is, I've got faith in Joaquin to do the role justice.

No idea how this will pan out, but has his philtrum always been off centre?

Look forward to it providing WB do a light touch approach, I don't fancy another music video trailer.

no, but he does have a small scar/birthmark

Yeah, it’s a birthmark. I’ve always felt it added a unique individuality to him.

Always thought it was a minor cleft lip repair, but maybe not.

Anyway, I didn't see Leto as a failure, i rather enjoyed his psychopath view on the joker. It was very different to that which had come before, just shame most of him was left on the cutting room floor, and the rest of the SS movie was god awful.

Harry Potter extra or a re-imagining of Silence of the Lambs' Buffalo Bill?

Hopefully, they use the killing joke as a guide.

It's taken from the Killing Joke

Like all the DC animated films it's actually decent (shame they can't make decent live action)

They'll never go as dark as the Killing Joke in a live action movie.

First look with 'Joker makeup'

This made me think of two things.

Wow it's been 10 years since the Dark Knight

And I hope he can carry it off, as he's a great actor

Why not ?

They went Dark Knight dark with Batman in Batman vs Superman with so many things copied direct from the comic, they could do the same here, we already know 18+ comic movies work thanks to Deadpool so why not do the darkest possible superhero movie at least then DC will be famous for something when it comes to live action

This could be be utterly awesome if executed in the right way. I'm super excited at seeing how this pans out.

looking canny.

Glanza · 3 Mar 2019 at 19:12

Not sure what to make of that, definitely moved away from the comic book style of movie for this one.
