Joker: Folie à Deux[a] is an upcoming American musical psychological thriller film directed by Todd Phillips from a screenplay co-written with Scott Silver. It is the sequel to Joker (2019), loosely based on DC Comics characters, and stars Joaquin Phoenix reprising his role as the Joker, with Lady Gaga joining the cast as his love interest, Harley Quinn. Zazie Beetz also reprises her role from the previous film, while Brendan Gleeson and Catherine Keener also join the cast. It is produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios in association with Joint Effort.

Joker was conceived as a standalone film, although Warner Bros. intended for the film to launch a DC Black film series. Phillips expressed interest in making a sequel but confirmed that Joker was not set up to have one. The sequel entered development in June 2022, with Gaga and Beetz joining later that year. Principal photography took place in Los Angeles, New York City, and Belleville, New Jersey, from December 2022 to April 2023.

Joker: Folie à Deux is set to have its world premiere at the 81st Venice International Film Festival on September 4, 2024, where it will be competing for the Golden Lion,[4] and is scheduled for a theatrical release overseas on October 2, 2024, followed by the United States two days later on October 4, 2024, by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Premise

[edit]

Two years after the events of Joker (2019), Arthur Fleck, now a patient at Arkham State Hospital, falls in love with music therapist Lee. As the duo experiences musical madness through their shared delusions, Arthur's followers start a movement to liberate him.

Cast

[edit]
  • Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck / the Joker, a mentally ill, nihilistic criminal with a clown-inspired persona, formerly an impoverished party clown and aspiring stand-up comedian. Director Todd Phillips assured that while the sequel will venture further into Fleck's psyche, he is not going to become the "Clown Prince of Crime" he is in the source material, as his "Joker" persona is an unwilling symbol to people who give him the love he always wanted.[5]
  • Lady Gaga as Harleen "Lee" Quinzel / Harley Quinn, a music therapist for Arkham State Hospital who meets Arthur; her curiosity eventually turns to obsession and she forms a deadly romantic relationship with him.[6][7] Describing Quinzel, Phillips noted how this version of the character is manipulative, amoral and "more grounded", with the film deliberately omitting much of the character's classic mannerisms and style to fit into the world created in Joker (2019).[8]
  • Catherine Keener as Maryanne Stewart, Arthur's defense lawyer.[9]
  • Zazie Beetz as Sophie Dumond, a single mother and Arthur's former neighbor, whom Arthur imagined being in a romantic relationship with.[10]
  • Harry Lawtey as Harvey Dent, Gotham City's newly elected District Attorney, who plans to prosecute Arthur for his crimes.[11]
  • Steve Coogan as Paddy Meyers, a popular TV personality who interviews Arthur in Arkham.[12]

Leigh Gill and Sharon Washington reprise their roles as Gary and Arthur's social worker, respectively.[13][14][15] Brendan Gleeson, Jacob Lofland, and Ken Leung have been cast in undetermined roles.

Production

Development

[edit]

Joker (2019) was intended to be a standalone film with no sequels.[16] Warner Bros. intended for it to launch DC Black, a line of DC Comics-based films unrelated to the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) franchise with darker, more experimental material, similar to the DC Black Label comics publisher.[17][18][19] However, even before the film wrapped, Joaquin Phoenix told director Todd Phillips that he didn't feel ready to leave Arthur Fleck behind; one night while falling asleep, Phoenix had a dream of his character performing onstage, telling jokes and singing, giving him the idea of possibly doing a musical sequel.[8] While Phillips said in August 2019 that he would be interested in making a sequel, depending on the film's performance and if Phoenix was interested,[20] he later clarified that "the movie's not set up to [have] a sequel. We always pitched it as one movie, and that's it".[21]

In October 2019, Phoenix spoke to journalist and Rolling Stone film critic Peter Travers on possibly reprising the role of Arthur Fleck, stating, "I can't stop thinking about it... if there's something else, we can do with Joker that might be interesting,"[22] and concluded, "It's nothing that I really wanted to do prior to working on this movie. I don't know that there is [more to do] ... Because it seemed endless, the possibilities of where we can go with the character".[23] He was paid $20 million for his involvement.[24] As the film went on its way to earn more than $1 billion, Phoenix and Phillips thought about a possible follow-up in the form of a Broadway theatre show, but didn't think on making such potential project into a conventional sequel depicting Arthur's comic book metamorphosis into Batman's nemesis by turning him into the Clown Prince of Crime or in charge of a criminal syndicate in spite that the original film seemingly set up such development with the murder of Bruce Wayne's parents; Phillips preferred to focus on how Arthur's breakdown captivated Gotham, being intrigued to examine how the very idea of entertainment went from movies and television to whatever scandal the news currently air, feeling that entertainment has been corrupted to the point the Depp v. Heard trial or Donald Trump's presidential debates have been treated as entertainment, which for Phillips is "sad and troubling".[8]

In November 2019, The Hollywood Reporter reported that a sequel was in development, with Phillips, writer Scott Silver and Phoenix allegedly expected to reprise their duties.[25] However, Deadline Hollywood reported the same day that The Hollywood Reporter's story was false and that negotiations had not even begun yet.[26] Phillips responded to the reports by saying that he had discussed a sequel with Warner Bros, and it remained a possibility, but it was not in development.[27] Phillips also confirmed that The Batman (2022) would not be set in the same continuity as Joker.[28] During an interview with Variety at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, Phillips expressed interest in a spin-off focusing on Batman, saying, "It's a beautiful Gotham. What I would like to see someone tackle is what Batman looks like from that Gotham. I'm not saying I'm going to do that. What was interesting to me about the inclusion of Batman in our movie was 'What kind of Batman does that Gotham make?' That's all I meant by that".[28] Phillips and Phoenix started seriously considering the idea of making a Broadway sequel show to Joker at the Carlisle Theatre as a "smaller thing" even if it took four years to make and made Phoenix perform for six months, but their plans came to halt when the COVID-19 pandemic occurred. During the pandemic, Phillips and Silver began plotting a sequel while still thinking on Phoenix's musical concept despite the genre's association with Judy Garland and Fred Astaire, as the former found the idea risky and "dangerous" enough for his liking to give the film "audacity and complexity" with music, dance, drama, courtroom drama, comedy, happiness and sadness and not make it a traditional love story despite the serious themes of the film's story and characters. Aware that young moviegoers may not be attracted to the film due to preferring usual comic book flicks, Phillips banked on their "appetite" for something new and different to help the film differentiate itself from every day's retreads and reboots. Phoenix suggested the prospect of pairing Arthur up with a "female Joker" that could serve him as his dance partner in a "kind of psychotic tango", leading Phillips and Silver to have the idea of including Harley Quinn, a female villain associated with the Joker first introduced in Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1995), for that purpose in the film.[8]

In June 2022, Phillips announced that the sequel was in development, with a script by him and Silver. The film was also revealed to be titled Joker: Folie à Deux.[29][30] By February 2023, DC Studios CEO James Gunn confirmed that Folie à Deux would be a DC Elseworlds project, taking place outside the main cinematic DC Universe (DCU).[b][33] Phillips' goal for the film was to make it feel like it had been produced by "crazy people", but struggled with referring to the film as a "musical", as the film lacks traditional musical numbers, and most of the music contains dialogue with only songs like "Get Happy", "For Once in My Life" and "That's Life" being played when Arthur cannot pronounce the words he wants to say, with those songs conveying the emotions Arthur Fleck and Harley Quinn with what they seek in their relationships, with the former being drawn to romantic ballads and the latter preferring music about power.[8]

On July 25, 2024, in an exclusive cover story for Empire, Lady Gaga commented on the singing required of her: "It was unlike anything I've ever done before. [...] For me, there's plenty of notes, actually, from Lee. I'm a trained singer, right? So even my breathing was different when I sang as Lee. When I breathe to sing on stage, I have this very controlled way to make sure that I'm on pitch and it's sustained at the right rhythm and amount of time, but Lee would never know how to do any of that. So, it's like removing the technicality of the whole thing, removing my perceived art-form from it all and completely being inside of who she is." Phillips also said of this specific interpretation of the character, "While there are some things that people would find familiar in her, it's really Gaga's own interpretation, and Scott [Silver, co-writer] and I's interpretation. She became the way how Manson had girls that idolized him. The way that sometimes these [imprisoned murderers] have people that look up to them. There are things about Harley in the movie that were taken from the comic books, but we took it and molded it to the way we wanted it to be".[34][35][36][37] Despite Gaga and Phoenix showing off their musical skills in past separate projects, Phillips did not require them to sing professionally, preferring a "rawer, more unstable sound" that fluctuated between euphoria and despair, which occasionally required singing off-key, as the filmmakers asked themselves what needed to happen for two individuals to just break into singing in one conversation's middle and where can the music come from when no one but the protagonists can hear it, rationalizing that the main characters are not nor should sound like professional singers with vibrato and perfect notes, instead sounding "nerve-racking but honest".[8]

On August 20, 2024, an exclusive cover story for Variety revealed that the film would open with a Looney Tunes-inspired cartoon animated by The Triplets of Belleville (2003) animator Sylvain Chomet, which would be followed by prison riots, courtroom legal fights and a variety show sequence that has Phoenix and Gaga portrayed as homicidal Sonny & Cher.[8]

Casting

[edit]

Days after the film's official announcement, it was announced Gaga was in talks to portray Harley Quinn and that the film would be a musical.[38][39] Gaga would confirm her casting later that summer.[40] She received $12 million for her involvement.[41] In August 2022, it was reported Zazie Beetz was in negotiations to reprise her role as Sophie Dumond in the film.[42] Beetz was confirmed to be reprising her role the following month, alongside the cast additions of Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener and Jacob Lofland.[10][43][13] Gleeson joined the project out of his admiration for both Phoenix's "indelible" performance in the first film and Gaga, but admitted to being "kinda intimidated" by what he had to do for his role.[44] In October, Harry Lawtey joined the cast in what Deadline Hollywood reported as a "big role",[14] later revealed to be that of Harvey Dent by the film's official trailer.[11]

Filming

[edit]
The abandoned Essex County Isolation Hospital in Belleville, New Jersey (pictured in March 2023, with vintage cars and props) served as a filming location for Arkham State Hospital

Principal photography began on December 10, 2022, with Phillips releasing a first look on his Instagram account and Lawrence Sher serving as cinematographer.[45][46] Sher had cited Francis Ford Coppola's One from the Heart (1982) as a source of visual inspiration for the film.[47] Exterior filming occurred in Los Angeles and New York by March 2023.[48] Gaga had filmed scenes with a crowd of extras demanding Joker's arrest outside the New York County Courthouse, which had led some people nearby to mistake it for Trump's arrest following his first indictment.[49] Arkham Asylum scenes were filmed at the abandoned Essex County Isolation Hospital in New Jersey.[50] In April 2023, filming took place at the "Joker Stairs", the stairway on West 167th Street in the Bronx featured prominently in the first film.[51] Filming officially wrapped on April 5, 2023.[52] The film is shot entirely with IMAX-certified digital cameras.[53]

Unlike many musicals that have actors sing along to a pre-recorded track, Phoenix and Gaga performed the musical numbers live, accompanied by a piano player who performed off-camera keeping up with whatever tempo they established. Meanwhile, Phillips tried to sync the radically different takes into a coherent whole in the editing room, describing the experience as a "nightmare".[8]

Post-production

[edit]

In December 2023, Gunn revealed he reviewed shot material and gave his notes regarding it.[54] The film was much more expensive than its predecessor, which had a budget $60 million.[8] Industrial Light & Magic provides visual effects for the film.[55]

Music

[edit]

Hildur Guðnadóttir composed the film's score, returning from the first film.[56] The film is expected to include at least 15 musical numbers, all of them covers of pre-existing songs, with an opportunity to also feature one or two original songs; these songs will incorporate elements of Hildur's score.[57]

Marketing

[edit]

A teaser trailer for the film was released on April 10, 2024, while Warner Bros. screened a presentation at the 2024 CinemaCon, being promoted by Phillips. It features Sammy Davis Jr. and Tom Jones' cover of the song "What the World Needs Now Is Love" (1965). Christi Carras from Los Angeles Times felt the film's presentation as a musical adhered to a trend where movie studios seemed reluctant to promote their films as musicals, citing Wonka (2023) and Mean Girls (2024) as examples.[58] Writing for Variety, Rebecca Rubin called the footage "dark and gritty" and highlighted the portrayal of Quinn as being Fleck's "demented muse".[59] TheWrap's Jeremy Fuster and Stephanie Kaloi described the trailer as focusing on Quinn and Fleck's "wild, destructive love".[60] The trailer gained 167 million views in its first 24 hours, being Warner Bros.' biggest trailer premiere at the time, having surpassed that of the first trailer for Barbie (2023).[61]

Release

[edit]

Joker: Folie à Deux is set to have its world premiere at the 81st Venice International Film Festival on September 4, 2024, where it will be competing for the Golden Lion.[4] The film is scheduled to be released theatrically in the United States on October 4, 2024, by Warner Bros. Pictures.[30] At their 2024 CineEurope presentation, Warner Bros. announced that the film would be released overseas on October 2, 2024, two days before its domestic premiere.[62] The film will be released on IMAX screens once Megalopolis (2024) relinquishes them after its premiere one week prior.[63]
