Joker
Produced, written, and directed by Todd Phillips, the director of *The Hangover*, Joaquin Phoenix becomes the fourth actor to portray “The Joker” on the big screen, following Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, and Jared Leto. See how he transforms from a failed stand-up comedian into Gotham City’s most evil and formidable supervillain.
Director Todd Phillips said: “*Joker* is an unprecedented independent film with a unique original story. Although the setting is still Gotham City, it’s quite different from the ‘Joker’ we’ve known before.” Phillips and Phoenix delve deeply into the character of Arthur Fleck, a man on the fringes of society. Phoenix said: “This is not just a realistic character study, but also a cautionary prophecy that delves into human nature.”
