Official JOKER Thread (SPOILERS)

[AnonymityX1000]

Considering he probably never puts the paint on (until the end) does it matter?

I think he's a good actor and they said they were shooting for Oscar like quality and he fits the bill.

Tommy Wiseau Interested In Joker Role

Tommy Wiseau, director and star of infamous cult film The Room, wants to play the Joker.



Responding to a tweet from Variety announcing three-time Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix's candidacy for the role in director Todd Phillips' standalone Joker origin movie, Wiseau instructed Phillips to direct message him.

"Todd. DM me," Wiseau wrote.

Wiseau made an identical post on his Instagram account and tagged Phillips, who isn't active on Twitter.

Commentators shared tweets depicting Wiseau as the iconic Batman villain, who famously sports green hair and dyed white skin.



Phoenix is reportedly director Todd Phillips' "top choice" for the Joker following a late 2017 meeting, according to Variety. Sources say Phoenix has agreed to the role but has not yet entered negotiations with studio Warner Bros., who were reportedly eyeing Academy Award winner Leonardo DiCaprio in September.

The film, which is to stand separate from the DC Extended Universe home to Ben Affleck's Batman and Jared Leto's Joker, will be co-written by Phillips and Scott Silver.

Legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese is attached as producer to what has been described as an '80s crime film with a dark and gritty tone.

Phillips' untitled Joker movie is said to borrow inspiration from Scorsese's Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, and is rumored to see a future Clown Prince of Crime who was tormented in his youth.

The Joker movie could shoot as early as this year.

Wiseau re-entered the spotlight following the release of biographical comedy drama The Disaster Artist, which explores the making of the 2003 drama that is often derided as one of the worst films ever made.

Why not

Sounds good then you realise the guy who did The Hangover is directing

If they're serious about doing the '70s grimey crime movie look, give it to someone like Jeremy Saulnier or Scott Cooper. Or go all in and cut a check to Fincher the gawd.

JOKER Origin Movie Is Reportedly Set To Begin Shooting Very Soon; Joaquin Phoenix Remains "Interested"

Looks like we may have some idea of when Todd Philips' standalone Joker movie is scheduled to begin shooting.

The Tracking Board's Jeff Sneider shared what appears to be part of a larger press release of some sort, which reveals the project's logline and lists a start date of May 1, 2018. We recently found out that Joaquin Phoenix was in talks for the lead role of the Clown Prince of Crime, and this also reveals his status as "interested".

So, can we trust this information? Well, Sneider is usually a reliable source but even he cautions that the details are subject to change. He also seems to have posted this during a little Twitter rant, so we should probably take it with a pinch of salt until we learn more.
