Joaquin Phoenix tells @EmpireMagazine Lady Gaga spit up her coffee after hearing him sing for first time in ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’:

 

“That felt good, that was exciting, and made me feel confident.”

 

Exciting :o

Loved the pictures. You can see that she really embodied her character.

Joker 2 became the fastest film at the Venice Film Festival to sell out its public screening, doing so in just 3 MINUTES.

 

It is also the only film among over 80 entries to have sold out so far.

 

Impact :clap:

Venice Film Festival chief Alberto Barbera says ‘JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX’ is “much darker” than the first film.

 

“It is much more inventive from every point of view. It's completely unexpected. It is very bold, brave, creative. An incredibly original film.”

“The question became, ‘how can we top ourselves?’” Phillips says. “And you can only do that if you do something dangerous. But there were days on set where you’d look around and think, ‘Holy f***ing shit! What did we do?’”

“Joker: Folie à Deux” may be his most go-for-broke gamble yet. It’s a movie that kicks off with a Looney Tunes-inspired cartoon starring the Joker (courtesy of “The Triplets of Belleville” animator Sylvain Chomet) before hurtling through prison riots, courtroom faceoffs and a variety-show sequence that finds Phoenix and Gaga portraying a homicidal Sonny & Cher.

He’s drawn to romantic ballads; she prefers music about power. Clearly, they want different things out of a relationship.

Lady Gaga & Joaquin Phoenix sang live on the set of ‘Joker 2.’

 

Gaga tells Variety: “We asked ourselves what would need to be true for two people to just break into song in the middle of a conversation? Where does the music come from when no one can hear it but the characters? Neither Arthur nor Lee are professional singers and they shouldn’t sound like they are (unless perhaps a fantasy). We wanted to help tell the story of their shared madness in a way that felt real. I think we all have an intimate and personal relationship with music in that there’s a score for our inner emotional lives. A score that no one can usually hear but us. That’s what we tried to capture for Arthur and Lee. The music inside them.”

 

I can't wait! :o

Venice Film Festival chief Alberto Barbera says ‘JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX’ is “one of the most daring, brave and creative films in recent American cinema.”

 

“I think it really confirms Todd Phillips as one of the most creative directors working at the moment.”

 

What are we about to experience!? :mellow:
