Joker 2 : a highly anticipated musical sequel
We wait impatiently Joker: Folie a Deuxthe sequel to the Todd Phillips film he featured Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck, before becoming the famous Joker. Far from the usual superhero films, Joker (2019) had an original approach while Joaquin Phoenix was impressive in playing this man who descends into madness and brings the city into chaos.
In Joker 2we will find him interned Arkham Hospital. There he will then meet a certain psychiatrist namedHarleen Quinzel.
This is obviously Harley Quinn, before she became the Joker’s partner. If Margot Robbie has played her very well in several DC films, it is this time Lady Gaga which will propose a new incarnation in Joker 2. A choice of no small importance given that the film presents itself like this a musical comedy with sung passages. A truly surprising choice by Todd Phillips. But after reporting to Warner Bros. With more than $1 billion in revenue worldwide, the director managed to impose his idea on the studio.
Joker 2: Lady Gaga’s strange behavior on set
Details about the musical comedy aspect of the film have already been provided. According to Zazie Beetz (Sophie Dumond’s interpreter in the first film), this should not be taken literally and the result should surprise viewers. However, we could see it images from the shoot which featured, in particular, Lady Gaga dancing in the style of Joaquin Phoenix in “Joker Steps.”
A nod to Jacques Demy?
Also, Todd Phillips, who has already shared several images of Joker 2revealed news about him Instagram. We see Joaquin Phoenix, in the rain, surrounded by supportive people colorful umbrellas. A yellow, a blue, an orange and a red.
We immediately think of a famous French musical film, Cherbourg umbrellas (1964) by Jacques Demy. A classic of the genre in which Catherine Deneuve she plays a young working girl an umbrella shop and who falls in love with a mechanic, played by Nino Castelnuovo. The film is notable for having the distinction of having no spoken dialogue. Everything is sung by the characters from start to finish.
This should not be the case Joker 2. But we can assume that the film, at least through these umbrellas, will wink in the style of Jacques Demy. Let’s remember, however, that these umbrellas from the film Cherbourg umbrellas they are not dissimilar those from Let’s sing in the rain (1952), another famous musical film. To see if Todd Phillips leans more towards the French film or the American one.
We’ll find out when the film comes out in theaters. Joker: Folie de duo it is expected October 2, 2024. Filming finished last April.
