Joker: Folie a Deux | October 4, 2024 | Lady Gaga is Harley Quinn in this 200M+ musical sequel

[The Panda]

This being a musical is the one good thing it has going for it and y’all are knocking that? Typical.

Hahahaha. This would’ve been AMAZING

They wouldn’t have been able to keep a lid on it, but experiencing that sudden seismic tone shift without anybody knowing about it would’ve been the ultimate joke.

 

The more I think about it, the more I’m kind of okay with it being a musical. Joker getting a standard, run of the mill sequel would’ve been disappointing, so for them to take such a big swing indicates that they aren’t purely doing it for the money. Sort of makes sense when you think about how much he dances in the original too, guessing we’ll just hear what he’s dancing to.

[Macleod]

My guess is this will be a "sequel" in name/franchise-studio only, i.e. like Tim Burton's "Batman Returns" which was a follow-up to the 1989 film, but barely referenced anything from it.  This will also be very much its own "thing."  

 

Funny how all roads lead back to Batman...  Warner Bros., Phoenix/Joker, Gaga/Harley, and if my above guess holds true...Sweeney Todd homages, as first put on film by Burton, Affleck ("Jersey Girl" has numerous Affleck/Batman jokes, 10 years before he played him)

Why are people acting like it’s surprising that Todd Phillips would be allowed to do what he wants with the sequel after the first movie made a billion dollars?

Especially when it only cost around $60 mil for production!

Joker 2 being a musical is perfect.  It's the mad genius chaos play.  Honestly think this will be incredible.

Quote

A person connected to the Warner inner circle told me last night that he’s hearing the “Joker 2: Joie de Vivre” screenplay has shades of Leos Carax’s “Holy Motors.”

 

According to World of Reel, the screenplay is inspired by Holy Motors (2012).

Phoenic now has his "Drop Dead/F.U" money. He does not  ever have to make another ":Paycheck" movie, and can just do the films he wants to do.

Prediction: October 2024. Maybe not q hard one but still.

So is this now gonna cost $200 million since Zaslav doesn't like the sub-100 million budgeted big movies in theaters

[WittyUsername]

Something tells me WBD will be prioritizing this over the Reevesverse. Call it a hunch.

Lady Gaga getting paid 200M sounds pretty good if you ask me

[BadOlCatSylvester]

I'm leaning towards this being another fake movie announcement fed by Warner to the trades to distract the public from ongoing drama. First it was a Jason Momoa Frosty movie against the backdrop of the Ray Fisher drama, now it's this against the backdrop of HBO Max's impending death. I'll be amazed if this actually gets made under the brutal, cutthroat Zaslav regime, because it'd certainly make them look like hypocrites.
