People showed up because that <br> <br> 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> 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 between Phillips, DC and Warner- with <br> <br> claims that Michael DeLuca, Chairperson of Warner Bros. Entertainment, and CEO Pamela Abdy seemed 'unwilling' to say <br> <br> no to Phillips due to his 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 <br> <br> control 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: 'With all <br> <br> due respect to them, this is kind of a 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 <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 <br> <br> have cost 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 what the fan expectations are, you're going to fail';<br> <br> 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 with the <br> <br> budget remaining static.<br> <br> <br> <br> A Warner spokesman told the publication the studio <br> <br> 'supported the decision to film in Los Angeles'.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> A source directly involved with the film said: 'No one could get through to <br> <br> Todd. And the one thing about genre stuff:<br> <br> 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 at the Venice Film Festival, but Phillips <br> <br> 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> 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> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Christopher NolanJoaquin Phoenix<br> <br> <br> <br> Feel free to surf to my site - รบจดงานศพ - <br> <br> https://Gamigo.me/user/HamishHardie/
