“All I have are negative thoughts”
Just ahead of the kickoff of the 2019 Venice Film Festival, where the film will make its world premiere, Warner Bros has released the final trailer for Joker and it’s both chilling and thrilling and it’s starting to look like Joaquin Phoenix could earn another Oscar nomination.
Billed as a standalone film and outside the scope of the current wave of DC films, Phoenix stars as Arthur Fleck, a deeply troubled man on the edge of sanity in Gotham’s fractured society. A clown-for-hire by day, he aspires to be a stand-up comic at night…but finds the joke always seems to be on him. Caught in a cyclical existence between apathy and cruelty, Arthur makes one bad decision that brings about a chain reaction of escalating events in this gritty character study.
The trailer leans in on elements hinted at in the previous looks, including Robert De Niro cast as a talk show host that features Joker as a guest in a direct nod to Martin Scorsese’s The King of Comedy, also featuring a disturbed and unsuccessful comic, with De Niro as the iconic Rupert Pupkin. The trailer also highlights the ‘clown uprising’ as Joker becomes an icon himself.
Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, Frances Conroy, Marc Maron, Bill Camp, Glenn Fleshler, Shea Whigham, Brett Cullen, Douglas Hodge, and Josh Pais co-star.
Warner Bros will release Joker on October 4. Here is the final trailer and two new posters.
