Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that JOKER would become one of the biggest films of 2019, grossing over $1 billion worldwide – not bad for a film which only cost around $60 million to produce. The Todd Phillips film focuses on Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), an aspiring stand-up comedian caught in chain reaction of escalating events which plunges him into insanity and nihilism as a violent counter-cultural revolution takes the streets of Gotham City by storm. Oh 2019, so naive.
Warner Bros. have released a twenty-minute featurette for JOKER which dives behind-the-scenes of the film and features interviews with the cast and crew, including director/co-writer Todd Phillips, producer Bradley Cooper (check out that mustache), and Joaquin Phoenix himself. So if you're still hungry for more of JOKER, this little featurette is well worth your time. Check it out above!
JOKER is available on Digital/DVD/Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD, and will also be available to stream on HBO Max when the service launches on May 27, 2020.
