Lady Gaga (“A Star is Born” “House of Gucci”) plays Harleen in “Joker: Folie à Deux”. While many assumed she would be campaigned for lead actress, Variety’s Clayton Davis reports that Warner Bros is aiming for a supporting actress nomination, as the story is reportedly told via “the perspective of Arthur Fleck” (Joaquin Phoenix). We’ll have more on this movie tomorrow — that’s when the new trailer gets released at 9am ET.
The ‘Smile’ franchise has a new director. David Bruckner, who made “The Night House” and the 2022 “Hellraiser” reboot, has been hired to direct “Smile 3” for Paramount.
