Image Source: Warner Bros What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas, as the antics of The Hangover proved. Released 15 years ago, the movie struck a chord with both audiences and critics alike. In fact, fans made it the top-grossing R-rated comedy film of all time, a record it still holds today. One of the things people loved about the film was the genuine feeling of brotherhood between the film’s stars: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zack Galifianakis. In terms of characters, though, Galifianakis’s Alan was — at least initially — the outsider, the brother of the bride who was shoehorned into the bachelor party hijinks. And he was the weird one. While Galifianakis wouldn’t go so far as to call himself typecast for the role, he did admit to us that he loved playing “the weird guy,” especially when he and the others were given so...

Taylor Swift is coming out to defend Lady Gaga after rumors that she is pregnant.
The “Bejeweled” singer replied to a video Gaga shared on TikTok
“Can we all agree that it’s invasive & irresponsible to comment on a woman’s body,” Swift wrote. “Gaga doesn’t owe anyone an explanation & neither does any woman.”
Swift’s reply came after Gaga denied the pregnancy rumors using a lyric from Swift’s song “Down Bad.”
“Not pregnant,” read the caption overlayed on the TikTok video Gaga shared. “Just down bad cryin’ at the gym.”
Gaga also mouthed an audio that said, “I don’t have to find the aesthetic, I am the aesthetic. I mean, I’m sure there’s somebody out here right now going into Pinterest just typing in all these adjectives to describe me.”
The Chromatica Ball star also took the opportunity to invite her followers to register to vote.

Neben einer Reihe weiterer, zum Teil fest erwarteter Titel bestätigt Variety, dass „Joker: Folie A Deux“ bereits fix ist für die diesjährige 81. Mostra in Venedig. Der Vorgänger, „Joker“, konnte 2019 den Goldenen Löwen gewinnen. Außerdem ausgewählt sind wohl bereits neue Arbeiten von Luca Guadagnino, Pablo Larraín, Julian Schnabel, Johnny Depp und Jon Watts.
Nach Cannes ist vor Venedig. Gerade einmal wurden die Palmen vergeben, richtet man den Blick bereits an das zweite ganz große europäische A-Festival, das aktuell von Alberto Barbera zusammengestellt wird: Die 81. Mostra in Venedig findet vom 28. August bis 7. September auf dem Lido statt. Über viele Titel wird seit Längerem spekuliert. Nun soll es laut Variety erste Entscheidungen geben.

There has been a lot of anticipation for the sequel since it will mark the debut of Gaga as the iconic DC villain and it is expected to have musical elements, which has already spawned concerns from some fans.

2024’s Venice Film Festival isn’t far away. Last year’s event was one that was slightly cut down due to the ongoing strikes that had befallen Hollywood and prevented a number of actors from attending for the promotion of their films. The films that screened last year included David Fincher’s The Killer, Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, Ava DuVernay’s Origin, Michael Mann’s Ferrari and Bradley Cooper’s Maestro. The line-up for films out of competition featured such big names as Woody Allen, Wes Anderson, William Friedkin, Richard Linklater and Roman Polanski.
The 81st Annual Venice Film Festival is set for August 28 to September 7. Variety is reporting that among the films that are being rumored for screenings is the Todd Phillips follow-up to the Joaquin Phoenix reimagining of DC’s Clown Prince of Crime.

Joker was a $1 billion hit in 2019, proving the Clown Prince of Crime can work without a Batman to do battle with. Of course, while the movie took some significant liberties with the source material, Bruce Wayne - who may or may not be Arthur Fleck's half-brother - still played a role.
Despite Joker having all the makings of a standalone movie (it ended by revealing Fleck's role in inspiring the mugger who killed Thomas and Martha Wayne), Joker: Folie à Deux will be released in theaters later this year.
Described as a "jukebox musical," we're expecting the action to move into Arkham Asylum, with the spotlight put on Arthur and Harley Quinn.
Or should that be Lee?

It looks as though director Todd Phillips has officially finished Joker: Folie a Deux, with the MPAA officially granting it an R-rating for “some strong violence, language throughout, some sexuality, and brief full nudity.” On the latter, it looks like Joker is about to show us the full monty, doesn’t it? At any rate, the R-rating isn’t a surprise, as that’s what the first film got, and I imagine a PG-13 sequel would have landed with a thud, as fans expect this to be as hardcore and uncompromising as the original.

“Joker” (2019) was originally intended to be a standalone film without sequels. However, Warner Bros. envisioned it as the beginning of DC Black, a series of darker, more experimental films separate from the DC Extended Universe. Despite the original plan, director Todd Phillips expressed interest in a sequel.
By November 2019, development on the sequel was confirmed, and in 2023, James Gunn stated that “Joker: Folie à Deux” would not be part of the mainline Dcu. Instead, it will be released under the “Elseworlds” label, in line with Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” franchise.
Shortly after the sequel was announced, it was revealed that Lady Gaga would portray Harley Quinn alongside Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker. Todd Phillips explained that he cast Lady Gaga because he had witnessed her mesmerizing performance in “A Star is Born,” where he served as a producer.

Lady Gaga has been born a star but now, she’s transforming into DC comic book character Harley Quinn for “Joker: Folie à Deux.”
The Oscar and Grammy winner teased her upcoming role alongside fellow Academy Award winner Joaquin Phoenix in the sequel to 2019 Batman prequel “Joker.” As Phoenix reprises his titular role as Arthur Fleck Aka the Joker, Gaga will play Harley from the “Batman the Animated Series” origins, as a bit different from Margot Robbie’s version of the character.
“You know my version of Harley is mine and it’s very authentic to this movie and these characters,” Gaga told Access Hollywood. “I’ve never done anything like I’ve done in this movie before, so it’s all going to be completely brand new and really fun.”
Margot Robbie brought Harley to life first in “Suicide Squad,” followed by spinoff “Birds of Prey” and quasi-reboot “The Suicide Squad.

Todd Phillips may be blessed with a keen eye when it comes to cinema but his comments on Christopher Nolan’s universally recognized classic, the Dark Knight trilogy, is a scarily contentious opinion. But as sacred as Christian Bale’s DC outing may have been, there exists a limitation to the height of the pedestal that one is allowed to be raised to.
Batman Begins (2005) [Credit: Warner Bros. Pictures]With the passage of time, it may have become easier to cope with the withdrawal of Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece. However, it is with loyalty, dedication, and love that the audience time and again returns to the Dark Knight trilogy. This shows not only an instinctive pull towards the series but also an admiration unmarred by time or repeated watching.

The Hangover was a monumental success upon its release, which was lauded by critics and fans and launched Bradley Copper, Zach Galifianakis, and director Todd Phillips into the limelight. Moreover, it made a blast at the box office, racking in $469 million on a budget of $35 million, which meant a sequel was inevitable, and two years later, The Hangover Part II opened in theatres.
Much like its predecessor, the sequel became a huge box-office hit, becoming the highest-grossing entry in the trilogy, but unlike the first one, the second one hasn’t particularly aged well.

Jack Black stars in The Super Mario Bros. Movie as Bowser. However, the finale of the money-printing 2023 animated film finds the King of the Koopas in a Kandor situation. It’s almost a guarantee Bowser will pop up in the sequel, but what if another villain takes center stage? What about the gaseous anti-hero Wario? Danny DeVito says he’s ready to walk a mile with his Troll Foot in Wario’s green boots for the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel, and fans are losing their minds at the idea.

After a disastrous 2023 for the DC brand, Warner Bros. hopes to deliver at least one hit comic book movie this year with Joker: Folie à Deux.
2019's Joker grossed over $1 billion on a modest $55 million budget. However, with reports swirling that the sequel cost upwards of $200 million, the studio will surely be hoping it hasn't allowed filmmaker Todd Phillips to indulge too much with this follow-up. After all, musicals are a tough sell at the best of times and comic book adaptations have struggled greatly post-covid.
We'll see what happens, but when the first teaser trailer dropped last month, one of the biggest surprises was an appearance from British actor and filmmaker Steve Coogan.
Best known in the UK for portraying comedy icon Alan Partridge, his film and television credits include Hot Fuzz, Tropic Thunder, Minions, the Night at the Museum franchise, Happyish, and The Reckoning.

Joker became a topic of discussion as soon as it hit theaters in 2019. And it's not just that Todd Phillips' movie has an ambiguous morality, completely different from typical comic book movies. The director made the audience doubt the reality of what was happening on the screen, allowing everyone to decide which events really happened and which only existed in the main character’s imagination.
The film was initially positioned as an independent work, in no way connected with comic books and especially with the DC cinematic universe. Joker refers more to the early films of Martin Scorsese, often citing Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy.
And even the makeup of the main character does not resemble the classic image of the Joker, but the famous killer clown Pogo, aka John Gacy. This reference is confirmed by the name of the Pogo club where Arthur performs.

Todd Phillips’ sequel for his biggest hit about the DC’s evil character portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix is still quite far from the theatrical release, but the talks about the upcoming movie haven’t fallen silent ever since it was announced.
Joker: Folie À Deux will now bring Harley Quinn, Joker’s love interest, to the main stage thus forming a sinister duo driven by their common passion for villainy.
And though the film’s first trailer released a couple of weeks ago has seemingly confirmed what everyone was waiting for, some fans were attentive enough to notice tiny details that could point to a major plot twist.
Numerous discussions on Reddit have been heating up since the trailer was released on April 9 — the short sneak peek left ones in a raving delight and others in bewilderment caused by suspicions that concern Joker and Harley’s relationships’ real nature.

In the late 1990s Joker writer-director Todd Phillips, then applying his trade as an underground documentary filmmaker shot a non-fiction project titled Frat House, which nabbed the Grand Jury Prize for Documentary at Sundance before being promptly acquired by HBO Films.
“The premise of the documentary is that he pledged fraternities at colleges,” John Sloss, producer, founder and CEO of Cinetic Media, told an audience at the Sands Film Festival in St. Andrews, Scotland. He was discussing the pic as part of an onstage Q&a about the current state of documentary filmmaking alongside Molly Thompson, Head of Documentaries and Non-Fiction at Apple TV+, and Oscar-winning producer Melanie Miller.
Sloss had been representing Phillips at the time. Despite the early buzz surrounding the pic, it was never officially released. HBO shelved the project.

Joaquin Phoenix is set to return as the Joker in the upcoming Joker: Folie à Deux and fans are excited about the exciting direction that the film is going to take. The first Joker film back in 2019 showed the character’s mental deterioration amidst a crime-ridden Gotham City and the sequel is set to further explore this aspect along with Harley Quinn thrown in the mix.
Heath Ledger as the Joker in The Dark Knight
Before Phoenix, Heath Ledger played the iconic character in The Dark Knight. Amazingly, both actors won Oscars for playing the same role, and Ledger’s co-star in the film Aaron Eckhart had an interesting take on why audiences are connecting to the character and the actors’ performances.

Hollywood decamped for Las Vegas this week for CinemaCon, looking to reassure movie theater owners and executives that they had what it takes to keep audiences flocking to cinemas through 2024 and beyond. And despite odes to the magic of the big screen experience, there was a whiff of desperation in the artificially-oxygenated, cigarette-perfumed air of Caesars Palace, where the annual exhibition trade show takes place.
That’s because the box office hasn’t recaptured its pre-pandemic stride — studios estimate that roughly 15% to 20% of frequent moviegoers have yet to resume their old entertainment habits now that Covid has dissipated. Plus, the labor strikes that consumed the media industry for much of the previous year as actors and writers hit the picket lines resulted in production delays that left theaters with fewer movies to hawk on their marquees.
But it wasn’t all doom and gloom. Despite the challenges, studios are ready...

During a time when the Dceu was struggling to satisfy the fans with their offerings, Warner Bros. sought the help of filmmaker Todd Phillips, who created Joker, the superhero blockbuster of 2019 that took the world by storm.
Joaquin Phoenix in and as Joker
Everything that the film had to offer during it’s run time was appreciated by the audience to an almost unprecedented degree since each scene was so exceptionally well-executed. And of course, just like with any other film, there were many scenes that didn’t make the final cut.
But in the past, Phillips revealed that there were more than what people expected, which they can also expect to never see with their eyes anytime soon.

Fill the cannons with stuffed animals and watch the fluff fly as Eli Roth’s Borderlands takes the Lionsgate stage at CinemaCon! The annual entertainment event is in full swing after yesterday’s Warner Bros. panel and reveal of Todd Phillips’s Joker: Folie à Deux trailer. With film and television fans fired up about upcoming releases, Lionsgate is ready to take them to a wasteland where kooky characters try to kill each other, and a fabled vault of riches awaits.
The Last of Us showrunner Craig Mazin wrote the initial screenplay for Borderlands but removed his name from the project after the script was rewritten by Roth, Juel Taylor, Tony Rettenmaier, Joe Crombie, Chris Bremner, and Sam Levinson.

The 2019 Joker film starring Joaquin Phoenix was a game changer for DC as director Todd Phillips created something unique out of the character that was never done before. Instead of the usual confrontation between Joker and Batman, the film focused on exploring Joker’s psychological deterioration in a crime-ridden Gotham City.

Debuting at Las Vegas’s CinemaCon – and online soon thereafter – the trailer for Todd Phillips’s follow-up to ‘Joker,’ the Best Picture nominee that won Joaquin Phoenix the Best Actor Oscar, blew up the internet late Tuesday night. The two-and-a-half-minute promo answered many lingering questions about the film.
As the title suggests, it’s very much about the mad love shared between Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck/Joker and Lady Gaga’s Harlene Quinzel/Harley Quinn. In DC Comics lore, Quinn starts as a psychiatrist who is then lured into Joker’s orbit; here it appears that she’s already one of his fellow inmates at Arkham Asylum when they meet.
Recent news leaks and some photos suggested that the film, which won the top prize at the 2019 Venice Film Festival, would be a “jukebox musical.” It’s still a little unclear just how much singing-and-hoofin’ Phoenix and Gaga will do,...

Ever since the first success of the first Joker made headlines and broke the internet, fans of comic book films and of the titular character have been asking filmmaker Todd Phillips for updates on the second film in the series, which is titled Joker: Folie á Deux.
And just recently, fans got a glimpse of what to expect from the upcoming film as the first trailer just dropped, and people are labeling it as a musical sequel to the original.
Joaquin Phoenix in and as Joker
Phillips knew that this was going to happen, which is why he claimed several times about how the film would follow the original narrative style from the first film, and that the musical element would just be part of the audience experience. But even after this claim was made publically, fans aren’t convinced of this.
