Joaquin Phoenix has revealed that he spoke with filmmaker Christopher Nolan about playing <br>
<br>
Joker which ultimately went to Heath Ledger.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The 50-year-old actor - whose latest flick Joker: Folie <br>
<br>
À Deux could be streamed now - got candid about potentially playing the supervillain before he actually portrayed him.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Joaquin recently appeared on Rick Rubin's Tetragrammaton podcast as he revealed that he spoke to the 54-year-old Oscar-winning filmmaker Nolan about portraying Joker over a decade before.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<u>He said: That didn't… wasn't going to happen for a number of reasons.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I wasn't ready then.</u><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'That's one of those things sometimes where 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>

Joaquin continued: 'I don't know whether Christopher Nolan was coming to 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 feeling was, "I shouldn't do this." But maybe he also <br>
<br>
was like, "You're not the guy." I couldn't say.'<br>

<i><u>Terrifier 3 dethrones Joker: Folie À Deux as box office champ</u></i><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The movie studio spent about $200 million to produce the film and <br>
<br>
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 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 suggested by anonymous "insiders" or "rival executives" are <br>
<br>
grossly wrong and continues a trend where rumor is reported as fact.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'The film continues to play in theatrical release, included <br>
<br>
with this week's opening 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 million globally after two weeks of <br>
<br>
release.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In comparison, the first Joker grossed $96.2 million domestically and $248.4 million globally after three <br>
<br>
days of release.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning <br>
<br>
film was considered a surefire hit for Warner Bros <br>
<br>
Pictures, yet ended up being slammed by critics and failed <br>
<br>
to ignite at the box office. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie <br>
<br>
history as the film bombed at the box office on opening night. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The psychological musical thriller — which has been criticized as 'bleak' and 'disappointing' — officially released in theaters on Friday, October 4.<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D rating on CinemaScore — the lowest <br>
<br>
score for a comic book movie.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier this year and also received terrible reviews — holds a <br>
<br>
higher score with a C+.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of 31% <br>
<br>
and a critic score of 32%.</b><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 director <br>
<br>
Todd Phillips' process telling Variety he 'wanted nothing to do with DC' during the making of <br>
<br>
the film, with DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran notably absent from the film's <br>
<br>
LA premiere afterparty 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] worldwide.<br>
<br>
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 the <br>
<br>
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,<br>
<br>
DC and Warner- with claims that Michael DeLuca, Chairperson of <br>
<br>
Warner 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 <br>
<br>
and Abdy rather than Gunn and Safran - who took control <br>
<br>
of DC two months before production began on Joker 2 in December 2022.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Gunn and Safran did attend the first director's cut screening 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 and <br>
<br>
was 'open to filming in Los Angeles if the director would make the <br>
<br>
sequel at a 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 about genre stuff: <br>
<br>
If you don't listen and pay attention to what the fan expectations are, you're going to fail'; director Todd <br>
<br>
Phillips seen with Gaga and Phoenix at the LA premiere September 30<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>However, Phillips insisted on filming in LA with the budget <br>
<br>
remaining static.</b><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>A Warner spokesman told the publication the studio 'supported the <br>
<br>
decision to film in Los Angeles'.</b><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 <br>
<br>
what the fan expectations are, you're going to fail.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Insiders also claim studio bosses did not want to premiere the film at the Venice Film Festival,<br>
<br>
but Phillips pushed back - with a Warner spokesman saying the studio 'fully supported the decision to bring the film <br>
<br>
to Venice. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Along with Gaga and Phoenix, other stars that had appeared in the sequel include Brendan Gleeson, <br>

Catherine Keener, Zazie Beatz and Steve Coogan. <br>
