As fans we’re going to be spoiled either by the press or by Phillips himself. Rather than allow fans to see costumes or scenes from the film through a blurry paparazzi lens Phillips is trying to ensure we get to see things properly.
In this latest photo we get to see Arthur Fleck (Phoenix) in fill clown garb. Could it be that Fleck will not be a comedian as The Joker was in The Killing Joke. Will he instead be a clown trying to make it big?
Joker centres around the iconic arch nemesis and is an original, standalone story not seen before on the big screen. Phillips’ exploration of Arthur Fleck (Phoenix), a man disregarded by society, is not only a gritty character study, but also a broader cautionary tale.
The film stars Joaquin Phoenix in the title role, also starring are Zazie Beetz, Bill Camp, Frances Conroy, Brett Cullen, Glenn Fleshler, Douglas Hodge, Marc Maron, Josh Pais, and Shea Whigham.
Phillips directs from a screenplay he co-wrote with writer Scott Silver, based on characters from DC. The film is being produced by Phillips and Bradley Cooper under their Joint Effort banner, and Emma Tillinger Koskoff. It is executive produced by Richard Baratta, Joseph Garner and Bruce Berman.
Joker will be released on October 4, 2019. For all our Joker coverage head to our archive!
