Joaquin Phoenix has revealed that he spoke with filmmaker Christopher Nolan about <br>
<br>
playing Joker which ultimately went to Heath Ledger.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The 50-year-old actor - whose latest flick Joker: Folie À Deux could be streamed now - got <br>
<br>
candid about potentially playing the supervillain before he actually <br>
<br>
portrayed him.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Joaquin recently appeared on Rick Rubin's Tetragrammaton podcast as he revealed <br>
<br>
that he spoke to the 54-year-old Oscar-winning filmmaker Nolan about <br>
<br>
portraying Joker over a decade before.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<i><u>He said: That didn't… wasn't going to happen for a number of reasons.<br>
<br>
I wasn't ready then.</u></i><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'That's one of those things sometimes where <br>
<br>
you go: "Why am I not doing this project? What is stopping me from doing this? Well it's not about me, there's something else. There's another person that's going to do something that's like, I can't imagine what it would be if we didn't have Heath Ledger‘s performance in that film."'<br>

In 2020, Joaquin earned the Best Lead Actor Oscar for Todd Phillips directed Joker which <br>

In 2020, Joaquin earned the Best Lead Actor Oscar for Todd <br>

Phillips directed Joker which was 11 years after Ledger posthumously earned Best Supporting Actor <br>
<br>
for The Dark Knight in 2009.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Joaquin continued: 'I don't know whether Christopher Nolan was coming to <br>
<br>
me saying, "You are definitely the person." <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'I can't remember the context of how we met. But I know that we met, and my <br>
<br>
feeling was, "I shouldn't do this." But maybe he also was like, "You're not the guy." I couldn't say.'<br>

<u><b>Terrifier 3 dethrones Joker: Folie À Deux as box office champ</b></u><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The movie studio spent about $200 million to produce <br>
<br>
the film and about $100 million on marketing and distribution, according to <br>
<br>
the report.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It would need to gross about $450 million at the box office to break <br>
<br>
even — when factoring in the cut taken by theaters <br>
<br>
— though Warner Bros. sources claim the number is $375 million.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A Warner Bros. spokesperson responded to the report, saying 'Any estimates <br>
<br>
suggested by anonymous "insiders" or "rival executives" <br>
<br>
are grossly wrong and continues a trend where rumor is <br>
<br>
reported as fact.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'The film continues to play in theatrical release, included with this week's opening <br>
<br>
in China, and will continue to earn revenue throughout its home viewing and ancillary run.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
So far, the musical about Batman's nemesis has grossed $51.5 million domestically and $165 <br>
<br>
million globally after two weeks of release.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In comparison, the first Joker grossed $96.2 million domestically and $248.4 million globally after three days of release.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar <br>
<br>
Oscar-winning film was considered a surefire hit for Warner Bros Pictures, yet ended <br>
<br>
up being slammed by critics and failed to ignite <br>
<br>
at the box office. <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>
The psychological musical thriller — which has been criticized <br>
<br>
as 'bleak' and 'disappointing' — officially released in theaters on Friday, October <br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D rating on CinemaScore — <br>
<br>
the lowest score for a comic book movie.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier this year <br>
<br>
and also received terrible reviews — holds <br>
<br>
a higher score with a C+.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<u><b>On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of <br>
<br>
31% and a critic score of 32%.</b></u><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The sequel has been roundly criticized for being <br>
<br>
a musical and 'ignoring' the DC fanbase - with an agent familiar with director Todd <br>
<br>
Phillips' 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 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, mentally ill guy in a downtrodden city, it <br>
<br>
makes maybe $150 [million] 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 <br>
<br>
film does not include a DC Studios logo.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A Warner spokesman added that a DC logo appears at <br>
<br>
the end of 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 Warner- <br>
<br>
with claims that Michael DeLuca, Chairperson of Warner <br>
<br>
Bros. Entertainment, and CEO Pamela Abdy seemed '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 <br>
<br>
rather than Gunn and Safran - who took control of DC two months before production began on Joker <br>
<br>
2 in December 2022.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Gunn and Safran did attend the first director's cut screening for the studio but Phillips <br>
<br>
fueled rift speculation when he told a reporter: '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 <br>
<br>
merged in April 2022 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>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A source directly involved with the film recently shared: 'The one thing <br>
<br>
about genre stuff: If you don't listen and pay attention to what the fan expectations are, <br>
<br>
you're going to fail'; director Todd Phillips seen with Gaga and Phoenix at the LA <br>
<br>
premiere September 30<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<u><b>However, Phillips insisted on filming in LA with the budget remaining static.</b></u><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>A Warner spokesman told the publication the studio 'supported the decision to film in Los Angeles'.</b><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A source directly involved with the film said: <br>
<br>
'No one could get through to Todd. And the one thing about genre stuff: If you don't listen and pay attention to what the fan expectations are, you're <br>
<br>
going to fail.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Insiders also claim studio bosses did not want to premiere the film <br>
<br>
at the Venice Film Festival, but Phillips pushed back - with a Warner spokesman saying the studio 'fully supported the decision to bring <br>
<br>
the film to Venice. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Along with Gaga and Phoenix, other stars that <br>
<br>
had appeared in the sequel include Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Zazie Beatz and Steve Coogan. <br>
