Joker: Folie À Deux director Todd Phillips 'wanted nothing <br> <br> to do with DC' during making of the $200million flop film, a new report has claimed.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film - stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga and was <br> <br> considered a surefire hit for Warner Bros Pictures - but was slammed by critics <br> <br> and failed to ignite at the box office.<br> <br> <br> <br> The sequel has been roundly criticized for being a musical and 'ignoring' the DC fanbase - with an agent familiar with Phillips' <br> <br> process telling Variety he 'wanted nothing to do with DC' during <br> <br> the making of the film, with DC bosses James Gunn and Peter <br> <br> Safran notably absent from the film's LA premiere afterparty <br> <br> last month.<br> <br> <br> <br> A source said: 'If the first movie was about some down-on-his-luck,<br> <br> mentally ill guy in a downtrodden city, it makes maybe $150 [million] <br> <br> worldwide. Not a billion. People showed up because that guy was Joker.'<br> <br> <br> <br> In an apparent snub by Phillips, the opening sequence of the film does <br> <br> not include a DC Studios logo.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <b>On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience <br> <br> score of 31% and a critic score of 32%</b><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film - stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga - seen with Phillips last month - and <br> <br> was considered a surefire hit for Warners Bros Pictures - but was <br> <br> slammed by critics and failed to ignite at the <br> <br> box office <br> <br> <br> <br> A DC spokesman said Gunn was directing the Max series Peacemaker in Atlanta, which had lost a day of production due to Hurricane Helene, while Safran was sick. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Read More<br> <br> <br> <br> <b>Joker: Folie À Deux is branded 'bleak' and the 'most disappointing follow-up' by critics</b><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> A Warner spokesman added that a DC logo appears at the end of <br> <br> the Joker sequel. while Phillips declined to comment to the publication. <br> <br> <br> <br> Several frictions are said to have developed between Phillips, DC and <br> <br> Warner- with claims that Michael DeLuca, Chairperson of Warner Bros.<br> <br> <br> <br> Entertainment, and CEO Pamela Abdy seemed <br> <br> 'unwilling' to say no to Phillips due to his huge past successes.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> It is claimed Phillips would 'only' speak with DeLuca and Abdy rather than Gunn and Safran - who took <br> <br> control of DC two months before production began on Joker 2 in December <br> <br> 2022.<br> <br> <br> <br> Gunn and Safran did attend the first director's cut screening <br> <br> for the studio but Phillips fueled rift speculation when he told a reporter:<br> <br> 'With all due respect to them, this is kind of a Warner Bros.<br> <br> movie.'<br> <br> <br> <br> Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav also met with Phillips  shortly after WarnerMedia and Discovery merged in April 2022 <br> <br> and was 'open to filming in Los Angeles if the director would make the sequel at a <br> <br> lower price point.'<br> <br> <br> <br> <b>The studio wanted to film in London which would have cost around 20 per cent less.</b><br> <br> <br> <br> <u><i>However, Phillips insisted on filming in LA with the budget remaining static. </i></u><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The sequel has been roundly criticized for being a musical and 'ignoring' the DC <br> <br> fanbase - with an agent familiar with Phillips' process telling Variety he 'wanted nothing to do with DC' during the making of the film, with <br> <br> DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran notably absent from <br> <br> the film's LA premiere afterparty last month<br> <br> <br> <br>  A Warner spokesman told the publication the studio 'supported the decision to film in Los <br> <br> Angeles'.<br> <br> <br> <br> A source directly involved with the film said: 'No one could get through to Todd.<br> <br> And the one thing about genre stuff: If you don't listen and pay attention to what the <br> <br> fan expectations are, you're going to fail.<br> <br> <br> <br> Insiders also claim studio bosses did not want to premiere the film at the Venice Film <br> <br> Festival, but Phillips pushed back - with a Warner spokesman saying the studio <br> <br> 'fully supported the decision to bring the film to Venice.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history as the film bombed at the box office on opening night. <br> <br> <br> <br> <b>It has only made $114million worldwide against its $200million budget. </b><br> <br> <br> <br> The psychological musical thriller — which <br> <br> has been criticized as 'bleak' and 'disappointing' — officially <br> <br> released in theaters on Friday, October 4, but it only raked in $20 million at the domestic box office, per The Hollywood Reporter. <br> <br> <br> <br> Phoenix reprised his role as the Joker in the sequel,<br> <br> which had earned him an Oscar for his portrayal in the 2019 film, while Gaga took on the role <br> <br> of Harleen Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn). <br> <br> <br> <br> However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D rating <br> <br> on CinemaScore — the lowest score for a comic book movie. <br> <br> <br> <br> Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier this year and <br> <br> also received terrible reviews — holds a higher <br> <br> score with a C+.<br> <br> <br> <br> <u><strong>On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of 31% <br> <br> and a critic score of 32%. </strong></u><br> <br> <br> <br> The sequel is projected to rake in less that $50 million at the domestic box office during the entirety of opening weekend, per The <br> <br> Hollywood Reporter. <br> <br> <br> <br> Weeks ago, the movie had been projected to bring <br> <br> in around $70 million - but the number has since drastically <br> <br> dropped. <br> <br> <br> <br> Joker (2019) notably opened with $96.2 million when the film first released in theaters - and eventually landed a little <br> <br> over $1 billion in the global box office. <br> <br> <br> <br> The first movie - which was also directed by Todd Phillips - had a <br> <br> budget of between $55 and $70 million. However, the budget increased for Folie À Deux to <br> <br> around $200 million. <br> <br> <br> <br> The 2019 movie garnered praise and positive reviews <br> <br> from both critics and audiences - and won the Golden Lion during the 76th Venice International <br> <br> Film Festival. <br> <br> <br> <br> Joaquin received an Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of <br> <br> the Joker (Arthur Fleck) - and the film garnered an additional Academy Award for Best Original <br> <br> Score. <br> <br> <br> <br> The sequel also screened during the Venice International <br> <br> Film Festival last month in September, where it earned a 12-minute <br> <br> standing ovation, per Deadline.   <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> A source directly involved with the film said:<br> <br> 'No one could get through to Todd.

It'd show how much of an unreliable narrator Fleck is,' one typed. <br> <br> <br> <br> 'But with some original songs, that keep everything vague,<br> <br> not just covers.

I <br> <br> feel like my time in the DC Universe was these two films.' <br> <br> <br> <br> Ahead of the movie's release, Lady Gaga also dropped an accompanying album titled Harlequin on September 27. <br> <br> <br> <br> Joker: Folie À Deux has been branded the 'most disappointing follow-up to the <br> <br> Oscar-winning movie' by critics, as they cast doubt on Lady Gaga's 'thin' role in the film following its release on Friday. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> 'That's way below what we expected,' one wrote <br> <br> in regards to the current Rotten Tomatoes scores.<br> <br> 'People are saying this is the worst sequel ever'<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> A fan explained, 'yea this film was bad. it was pretentious <br> <br> and dull. has the aesthetic of an arthouse film without the substance'<br> <br> <br> <br> The 'bleak' sequel, has also received a tepid reception from fans, with some claiming Lady Gaga's career could be <br> <br> at risk.<br> <br> <br> <br> While the same director Todd Phillips was back in the hot seat, critics have <br> <br> said the sequel is just a 'repeat' of the first hit but with an added musical twist.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Most critics have said Todd failed to use <br> <br> Gaga correctly in the movie and claimed she was only bought in for the musical aspect of it.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> While the majority of critics say Joker: Folie À Deux didn't live <br> <br> up to expectations, others have dubbed the movie 'bold' and 'brilliant.' <br> <br> <br> <br> Daily Mail's Brian Viner commended the move as 'bold' and <br> <br> 'brilliant' but said it lacked any thrill. <br> <br> <br> <br> The Independent's Geoffrey Macnab said: 'Today Joker is best remembered <br> <br> as one of the most subversive and original films of <br> <br> the last decade, while its hugely anticipated sequel is just as bleak and formally daring as its predecessor'.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Meanwhile, the Irish Times' Donald Clarke gave the <br> <br> movie just two stars but credited Phillips' work for making a sequel <br> <br> following the first movie's $1billion success.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Financial Times critic Danny Leigh said although Gaga worked hard to bump the ratings up in the sequel, Phillips appeared to have no <br> <br> idea what to do with her. <br> <br> <br> <br> Giving a three star rating, The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw claimed the movie proves 'claustrophobic' and 'repetitive.'<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Joker: Folie À Deux has been branded the 'most disappointing <br> <br> follow-up to the Oscar-winning movie' by critics, as they cast doubt <br> <br> on Lady Gaga's 'thin' role in the film following its release on Friday; seen in September in London <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The Times' Kevin Maher wrote: 'The director Todd Phillips said there <br> <br> would be no follow-up to the original, but he changed his <br> <br> mind and the result is a derivative musical'<br> <br> <br> <br> 'This might be the most disappointing follow-up to an Oscar-winning performance since Anthony Hopkins reworked his silky and terrifying Dr <br> <br> Lecter from for the campy, kitschy.' <br> <br> <br> <br> Along with Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, other stars that had appeared in the <br> <br> sequel include Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, <br> <br> Zazie Beatz and Steve Coogan. <br> <br> <br> <br> Joker: Folie à Deux has faced additional backlash from fans <br> <br> as they have claimed that Gaga is running the risk of <br> <br> losing her acting career. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Lady GagaJoaquin Phoenix<br> <br> <br> <br> Also visit my web-site: ร้านขายดอกไม้จันทน์ ใกล้ฉัน (<a href="https://Flexhaja.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=265198">Flexhaja.com</a>)
