]]>The term “folie à deux” can be translated as “shared madness” and it perfectly describes the relationship between this notorious villain power couple. The new trailer sees Arthur Fleck and Harley Quinn catching each other’s eye during their time at Arkham Asylum, and finding themselves caught in a dangerous dance that could either destroy them—or set them free.
The first promo clip also makes it clear that Joker: Folie à Deux will feature many musical elements. It’s set to the beat of “What the World Needs Now (Is Love Sweet Love)”, but the film will feature at least 15 renditions of well-known songs that fit its theme, according to Variety’s recent report.
Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga will be joined by Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, Steve Coogan, Ken Leung, Harry Lawtey, and Zazie Beetz in supporting roles. We’ll get to witness their wild dance on October 4, when Joker: Folie à Deux will be released theatrically by Warner Bros.

]]>Phoenix previously collaborated with Aster on Beau Is Afraid, and they’re gearing up for another collaboration. The Oscar-winner will lead his next film Eddington, and he’ll be joined by the two-time Oscar winner Emma Stone (Poor Things), Oscar nominee Austin Butler (Dune: Part Two), and Emmy nominee Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us).
In addition to these four A-list stars, the supporting cast of this project will also include Luke Grimes (Yellowstone), Deirdre O’Connell (Outer Range), Micheal Ward (Top Boy), and Clifton Collins Jr. (Jockey).
Aster previously discussed Eddington in one of his Reddit AMAs and said he’s been plotting a Western-noir dark ensemble comedy for years. He described it as a “revisionist Western” that’s “one foot in the Western and one foot is even more heavily in the noir genre.”
Eddington will mark Aster’s fourth A24 film following horrors Hereditary and Midsommar and tragicomedy Beau Is Afraid. In addition to writing and directing it, he’ll also be credited as a producer with his Square Peg partner Lars Knudsen.

]]>Napoleon knocked it out of the parks as soon as it hit the theaters, and grossed $78.8 million globally across its five-day opening frame, including $46.3 million from the international box office. It exceeded expectations during its opening weekend, and its box office numbers are looking well, even a month later.
Napoleon hit the theatres on November 23, and it took it about a month to reach the $200.7 million mark, including $141.1 million from the international box office and $59.6 million grossed domestically. By doing so, the film finally broke even given its $200 million budget, but on-demand rentals and Apple TV+ subscriptions will also be a significant part of its revenue stream.
Ridley Scott’s historical epic chronicles Napoleon’s rise to power and his complicated relationship with his wife Joséphine. In addition to Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby in the lead roles, the film also stars Tahar Rahim, Rupert Everett, Ben Miles, Ludivine Sagnier, and Matthew Needham.

]]>Phillips captioned his recent Instagram post with the words, “Wishing everyone a happy holiday and a beautiful new year. Oct 2024 #Joker2” and shared two new images from the upcoming sequel.
The first shows Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck aka the Joker behind what appears to be a cell window with the number “E258”. The second offers a glimpse of Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn gazing at Fleck, who is wearing his signature Joker makeup and suit.
Joker: Folie à Deux has been billed as a musical and this genre change was quite a shocker for the fans, but the Oscar-winning composer Hildur Guðnadóttir claims we’ve got nothing to worry about.
“It’s an interesting decision. It’s both logical and also very surprising for me as well as the audience. So far, it’s just been a really beautiful conversation, and I’m really excited to see how it unfolds,” she told Variety.
Joker: Folie à Deux will be released on October 4, 2024, and it will also star Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, and Harry Lawtey.

]]>Sony Pictures’ official logline describes Napoleon as a spectacle-filled action epic that details the checkered rise and fall of the iconic French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, capturing his relentless journey to power through the prism of his addictive, volatile relationship with his one true love, Josephine.
Phoenix and Scott are no strangers to filming historic epics by each other’s side. Phoenix became a household name after playing Commodus in Scott’s historical drama Gladiator and earned an Oscar nod for the best supporting actor for this performance.
Scott has been fascinated by the French emperor for a long time, but it took years to get the film about him off the ground. This project was initially announced under the working title Kitbag back in 2020 and experienced several shifts before Apple Studios agreed to finance it.
Vanessa Kirby will join Phoenix as Josephine, while the supporting cast will include Tahar Rahim, Mark Bonnar, Rupert Everett, and Youssef Kerkour. Napoleon will be released on November 22 by Sony Pictures Releasing, before streaming on Apple TV+ at a later date.

]]>Phillips celebrated the last day of filming the sequel by posting two photos of Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix in full makeup as Harley Quinn and the Joker, followed by a caption reflecting on the process of filming the prequel.
“That’s a wrap. Thanks to these two (+ the entire cast) and the BEST crew that the film industry has to offer. From top to bottom. Gonna crawl into a cave now (edit room) and put it all together,” he wrote on social media.
Phillips returned to direct and co-write the Folie à Deux after finding huge success with the first Joker film. It became the first R-rated film to gross over $1 billion, and it won numerous awards, including the Academy Award for Best Actor for Phoenix.
Joker: Folie à Deux was filmed in Los Angeles, New York, and Cedar Grove, from December to April, and it’s expected to include musical elements. In addition to Phoenix and Gaga, the film will also star Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, and Harry Lawtey. It will be released by Warner Bros. Pictures on October 4, 2024.

]]>The post First Look at Lady Gaga & Joaquin Phoenix in “Joker: Folie a Deux” is Here appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>The first image shows Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn staring into Phoenix’s Joker eyes, with a frantic look on her face. She’s holding his paint-covered face in her hands, and the two characters are just a few inches apart, hinting at the intimacy that exists within them.
Gaga joined the film in the role of Harley Quinn/Harleen Quinzell, a psychiatrist who was meant to study Arthur Fleck and his Joker persona before falling into his twisted world. Her casting initially left people puzzled because it hasn’t been long since Margot Robbie portrayed this character, but the Babylon actress gave Gaga her seal of approval.
Gaga’s involvement also makes sense because Joker: Folie à Deux will be a musical, and it’s set in DC Elseworlds instead of being a part of the traditional DC Universe. In addition to the two leads, the film will also star Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, and Harry Lawtey, and it’s scheduled to be released on October 4, 2024.

]]>It was confirmed in May last year that a sequel to 2019’s Joker was in development. Despite the film originally being envisioned as a standalone, the movie’s box office success and Joaquin Phoenix’s Oscar-winning performance led to reconsideration.
Joker: Folie à Deux is scheduled to hit theaters on October 4, 2024, with the first photo from the flick now being released. The image was posted by director Todd Phillips and depicts Phoenix’s titular character receiving a close shave by someone off-screen.
“Day 1. Our boy,” the caption reads.
In addition to The Sisters Brothers star, Zazie Beetz is also expected to reprise her role as Sophie Dumond. They will be joined by Lady Gaga who will star as Dr. Harleen Quinzel, a psychiatrist who falls in love with the Joker and becomes his sidekick Harley Quinn. The film is set to be a musical.
Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, and Harry Lawtey have also been cast in roles that have yet to be disclosed. Gleason recently told Extra that the reason he joined the project was because of Phoenix’s “indelible” performance.

]]>The post Lady Gaga Eyed to Play Harley Quinn in “Joker” Sequel appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>The Hollywood Reporter was the first outlet to break the news, adding that the sequel is expected to take a form of a musical. Lady Gaga is eyed for the role of Dr. Harleen Quinzel aka Harley Quinn — the Arkham Asylum shrink who falls in love with her patient the Joker and goes on to become his accomplice and lover.
Lady Gaga’s version of Harley Quinn exits in a different universe than the one played by Margot Robbie in a series of DC films, including The Suicide Squad. The singer-turned-actress most recently appeared in House of Gucci and received nominations for Golden Globe, BAFTA, and SAG Award for her performance.
The reports of Gaga’s casting come shortly after Todd Phillips officially confirmed the title of the new movie, Joker: Folie à deux, referencing a mental disorder that affects several people at the same time. The director also shared a photo of Joaquin Phoenix reading the script, but the actor is yet to officially strike a deal with Warner Bros.

]]>Phillips shared the news by posting a photo of the film’s script on Instagram, followed by another photo of Joaquin Phoenix reading it. Phillips co-wrote the script with Scott Silver, and they’re developing this project under the working title Joker: Folie à deux, a French word for shared psychosis.
Both Phillips and Phoenix discussed the possibility of coming back for the sequel, saying the possibilities of where they can go with the iconic character are endless.
Bringing Joker back for another ride makes total sense for Warner Bros. and DC Films because the original film was a huge box office sensation. It became the first R-rated film in history to cross the billion-dollar mark at the box office, grossing $1.07 billion against an estimated $55 million budget.
Joker was also an awards season darling, winning the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival following its premiere and receiving countless other award nominations. It was nominated for eleven Academy Awards and it earned Phoenix his first Oscar for the best actor in a leading role.
