Not only did Todd Phillips’ ‘Joker’ sequel, “Joker: Folie A Deux” get an Oct. 4, 2024 release date, but word was that it would start shooting in December.
Now the film seems to be really ramping up as things are lined up for a November 5th production kick off, according to Production List. Will this be a snowy-set sequel?
Director Todd Phillips is clearly going for something much more ambitious than originally perceived with the sequel. They’re throwing the blueprint out of the door and making something singular, unique, that’s what Phillips/Phoenix/Gaga seem be aiming for here.
The best thing Phillips can do is make a completely different movie than the first one. That way it’ll separate both films as entirely different entities. I don’t think having Gaga is such a terrible idea, might as well go for full-on WEIRD with this one.
The French term “folie a deux” is a psychological term derived from when two people engage in a shared delusive reality together.
You think Phillips wants to go back to Venice? “Joker” won the Golden Lion there in 2019, the sequel making it into competition would be strange, but not surprising.
I'm going to say what a lot of people think, and won't say out loud: I don't believe Tom Holland can be a movie star outside of Spider-Man. That's been my genuine hunch for a few years now.
