"I started [laughing]," explains Joaquin Phoenix about the construction of his Joker. "I saw videos of people suffering from pathological laughter, a neurological disorder that makes individuals laugh uncontrollably." We still don't know if in the long writing - with the help of Scott Silver (The Fighter, The Decisive Hour) - and directed by Todd Phillips (Weapon Game) Fleck will suffer from this condition or not. Yes, there is a hint in the trailer, when two subway passengers beat the protagonist for his laugh.
There is also a new synopsis of Joker, which emphasizes that the film focuses on the "iconic arch-enemy" in "an original and independent story never seen before on the big screen." "The investigation of [Todd] Phillips of Arthur Fleck (Phoenix), a man ignored by society," he continues, "is not only the study of a stark character but also a broader warning story."
In the cast, you will also find Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, Marc Maron, Shea Whigham, Brian Tyree Henry, Frances Conroy, and Brett Cullen, among others. Upstairs you have the official trailer of the tape.
