Joker-Folie-à-Deux-Todd-Phillips-interview

The Big Picture In 2019, Joker did to Hollywood what the Joker does to Batman: reigned chaos. The film shocked us with its gallows humor and violence. It flipped the box office on its head with the downbeat, grungy fable taking in hundreds of millions of dollars as an R-rated, stand-alone comic-book film — with no hero. After all was said and told, the film was nominated for a slew of Oscars and took home two, one for score, and the other for Joaquin Phoenix's iconic performance.

Todd Phillips Used IMAX As A Tool In ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ COLLIDER: I really want to say — and I mean this sincerely — I so appreciate the boldness and what you did with this movie. I would rather see this movie than 100 of the same movies I see again and again. I just want to say thanks for fucking going for it. I think it's actually great that your film and Megalopolis are coming out around the same time because they're both big swings that are pushing forward.I love IMAX.

PHILLIPS: It's a dream for a director. It's what you want, and, quite frankly, a lot of actors do do that. Maybe not to the extent that Joaquin does, but you always want to try different things. You certainly wanna give them an environment and a freedom that makes them feel safe to do those things. I think Joaquin, with me, really feels that. So for me and Jeff , who I edit with, we're in heaven when we go through Joaquin’s stuff.
