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 he actually <br>
<br>
portrayed him.<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>
He said: That didn't… wasn't going to happen for a number of reasons.<br>
<br>
I wasn't ready then.<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 <br>
<br>
know that we met, and my feeling was, "I shouldn't do this." But maybe he <br>
<br>
also was like, "You're not the guy." I couldn't say.'<br>

Meanwhile Joker: Folie À Deux can now be streamed, just weeks after its theatrical release. <br>

The movie, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, is now available to rent from home starting October 29, in an effort to recoup some <br>
<br>
of Warner Bros. investment into the film, as per Variety.<br>
<br>
<br>

Terrifier 3 dethrones Joker: Folie À Deux as box <br>
<br>
office champ<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The movie studio spent about $200 million to produce the <br>
<br>
film and about $100 million on marketing and distribution, <br>
<br>
according to the report.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It would need to gross about $450 million at the box office <br>
<br>
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 'Any estimates suggested by anonymous <br>
<br>
"insiders" or "rival executives" are 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 with <br>
<br>
this week's opening in China, and will continue to earn revenue throughout its home <br>
<br>
viewing and ancillary run.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
So far, the musical about Batman's nemesis has grossed $51.5 million domestically <br>
<br>
and $165 million globally after two weeks of release.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<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>
<br>
<br>
The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film <br>
<br>
was considered a surefire hit for 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 <br>
<br>
the film bombed at the box office on opening night. <br>
<br>
<br>

The psychological musical thriller — which has been criticized as <br>
<br>
'bleak' and 'disappointing' — officially released in theaters <br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D rating on CinemaScore — the lowest score for <br>
<br>
a comic book movie.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier <br>
<br>
this year and also received terrible reviews — holds <br>
<br>
a higher score with a C+.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of <br>
<br>
31% and a critic score of 32%.<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 Todd Phillips' process telling Variety he 'wanted nothing to do with DC' during the making of the film, with DC bosses James Gunn <br>
<br>
and Peter Safran notably absent from the film's LA premiere <br>
<br>
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 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 <br>
<br>
publication.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Several frictions are said to have developed <br>
<br>
between Phillips, DC and Warner- with claims that Michael DeLuca,<br>
<br>
Chairperson of Warner Bros. Entertainment, and CEO Pamela Abdy seemed 'unwilling' to say no to Phillips due to his <br>
<br>
huge past successes.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It is claimed Phillips would 'only' speak with DeLuca and Abdy rather than Gunn and Safran - who took control of <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
sequel at a lower price point.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The studio wanted to film in London which would have cost <br>
<br>
around 20 per cent less.<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 <br>
<br>
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>
However, Phillips insisted on filming in LA <br>
<br>
with the budget remaining static.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A Warner spokesman told the publication the studio 'supported <br>
<br>
the decision to film in Los 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 <br>
<br>
the fan expectations are, you're going to fail.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Insiders also claim studio bosses did not want to premiere <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
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>
