Things have been very quiet on the Joker front for a couple of weeks. With the shoot soon to wind down we had expected the crew to have moved indoors to purpose built sets. But over the weekend Joaquin Phoenix was back out on the streets on NYC for a dramatic chase.
In full makeup Phoenix was snapped being chased down by the GCPD. Of course celebrity gossip website JustJared was there to pick up on all the action. You can check out their latest gallery from the Todd Phillips movie set by clicking on the link in the tweet below.

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!
