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:<br>
<br>
Folie À Deux could be streamed now - got candid about potentially playing the supervillain before <br>
<br>
he actually portrayed him.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Joaquin recently appeared on Rick Rubin's Tetragrammaton podcast as he revealed that he spoke to <br>
<br>
the 54-year-old Oscar-winning filmmaker Nolan about <br>
<br>
portraying Joker over a decade before.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>He said: That didn't… wasn't going to happen for a number of reasons.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I wasn't ready then.</b><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>

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

<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.<br>
<br>
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>

<b>Terrifier 3 dethrones Joker: Folie À Deux as box office champ</b><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The movie studio spent about $200 million to produce the film and about $100 million on marketing and <br>
<br>
distribution, according to the report.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It would need to gross about $450 million at the box <br>
<br>
office to break even — when factoring in the cut taken by theaters — though Warner Bros.<br>
<br>
sources claim the number is $375 million.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A Warner Bros. spokesperson responded to the report, saying <br>
<br>
'Any estimates suggested by anonymous "insiders" or "rival executives" are grossly <br>
<br>
wrong and continues a trend where rumor is reported as fact.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'The film continues to play in theatrical release, included with this week's <br>
<br>
opening in China, and will continue to earn revenue throughout <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
of 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 <br>
<br>
Oscar-winning film was considered a surefire hit for <br>
<br>
Warner Bros Pictures, yet ended up being slammed by critics and failed to ignite 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 as <br>
<br>
'bleak' and 'disappointing' — officially released in theaters on Friday, October 4.<br>

<br>
<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 and also received terrible reviews — holds a <br>
<br>
higher score with a C+.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<strong>On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience <br>
<br>
score of 31% and a critic score of 32%.</strong><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The sequel has been roundly criticized for being a musical and <br>
<br>
'ignoring' the DC fanbase - with an agent familiar with director Todd Phillips' process telling <br>
<br>
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 LA premiere afterparty last month. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A source said: 'If the first movie was about some down-on-his-luck, mentally ill guy <br>
<br>
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 film does not include a DC Studios logo.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A Warner spokesman added that a DC logo appears at 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 <br>
<br>
Warner- with claims that Michael DeLuca, Chairperson of Warner Bros.<br>
<br>
Entertainment, and CEO Pamela Abdy seemed 'unwilling' to say no to Phillips due <br>
<br>
to his huge past successes.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It is claimed Phillips would 'only' speak with DeLuca and <br>
<br>
Abdy rather than Gunn and Safran - who took control of DC two months before production began on Joker 2 in December 2022.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Gunn and Safran did attend the first director's cut screening for <br>
<br>
the studio but Phillips fueled rift speculation when he told a <br>
<br>
reporter: 'With all due respect to them, this is kind of a <br>
<br>
Warner Bros. 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 was 'open to filming <br>
<br>
in Los Angeles if the director would make the sequel at a lower price point.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<strong><u>The studio wanted to film in London which would <br>
<br>
have cost around 20 per cent less.</u></strong><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A source directly involved with the film recently shared:<br>
<br>
'The one thing about genre stuff: If you don't listen and pay attention to what the fan expectations are, you're going to <br>
<br>
fail'; director Todd 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>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<u><strong>However, Phillips insisted on filming <br>
<br>
in LA with the budget remaining static.</strong></u><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<strong>A Warner spokesman told the publication the studio 'supported the decision to film <br>
<br>
in Los Angeles'.</strong><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A source directly involved with the film said: 'No one could get through <br>
<br>
to Todd. And the one thing about genre stuff: If you don't listen and pay <br>
<br>
attention to what the fan expectations are, <br>
<br>
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 Festival, but Phillips pushed back - with a Warner spokesman saying the <br>
<br>
studio 'fully supported the decision to bring the film to Venice. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Along with Gaga and Phoenix, other stars that had appeared in the sequel include Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Zazie Beatz and Steve Coogan. <br>
