Todd Phillips has written the next chapter in the Clown Prince of Crime's gritty, brutal tale of chaos and discord.Phillips took to Instagram on Tuesday to confirm that his Oscar-winning 2019 film is getting a sequel, penned by himself and Scott Silver — who also co-wrote the first film.Phillips shared a pair of snapshots, beginning with a pic of the script's cover page, revealing the sequel is tentatively titled A post shared by Todd Phillips (@toddphillips)The second snapshot in the slideshow was an artistic black-and-white candid pic of star Joaquin Phoenix -- who earned his Oscar for playing the title character — reading the script over while smoking a cigarette.The first — which was originally imagined as a standalone drama set in the universe but outside the cannon of the comics or the film adaptations — was set in the early '80s, and followed the mentally unstable failed clown Arthur Fleck as he spiraled into madness and sparked a violent riot in the city of Gotham.Not much is known about the plot of Phillips' forthcoming follow-up, outside of the title. Folie à Deux is a term that means a shared delusion or nearly identical mental disorder that presents in two different people.Whether the title refers to Joker's famously disturbed relationship with Batman or possibly his notoriously unhealthy relationship with love interest Harley Quinn remains to be seen.

Jurassic World Dominion director Colin Trevorrow has compared one particular dinosaur in the film to the Joker.The third part of the Jurassic World series is due to hit cinemas this summer, with stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard due to return alongside franchise veterans Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum.The film is also set to introduce Giganotosaurus – or Giga – a real dinosaur that existed, with Trevorrow suggesting that the creature will feel like the DC villain.“I wanted something that felt like the Joker,” he explained to Empire. “It just wants to watch the world burn.”The news comes after Dominion‘s runtime appears to have been confirmed, with the film clocking in at two hours and 26 minutes – 17 minutes longer than its predecessor Fallen Kingdom.The film also recently dropped a trailer, which takes viewers four years after the events of the last film when a neo-Jurassic age was established, with humans becoming prey for dinosaurs.Dominion is set to be the final part of the Jurassic series, Trevorrow telling Entertainment Weekly last year: “To me, [‘Dominion‘] is a culmination of one story that’s been told.“When you got to the end of the Jurassic Park trilogy, it may not have been as clear in what the complete story of those three movies was because they were a bit more episodic in the way that they were approached.

Acclaimed director David Fincher is sharing his thoughts on the movie Joker and why he considers it to be a “betrayal of the mentally ill.” Fincher recently talked about Joker‘s success in contrast to his movie Fight Club, which was much more difficult to get made back in the late 1990s. “Nobody would have thought they had a shot at a giant hit with Joker had The Dark Knight not been as massive as it was,” Fincher told The Telegraph. “I don’t think ­anyone would have looked at that material and thought, Yeah, let’s take [Taxi Driver’s] Travis Bickle and [The King of Comedy’s] Rupert Pupkin and conflate them, then trap him in a betrayal of the mentally ill, and trot it out for a billion dollars,” Fincher added.

The Dark Knight has revealed that the team faced pressure to include a Joker origin story in the critically-acclaimed DC movie.The Christopher Nolan-directed film included a dark and popular portrayal of the Joker performed by the late Heath Ledger.Considered to be one of the best superhero movies to date, the 2008 Batman film sees the Joker arrive on the scene without the expected background story to explain why and how he became the villain.Now, David S.

Filmmaker Darren Aronofsky recently revealed that he came very close to casting Joaquin Phoenix as Batman in the 2000s, but had to drop the idea because the studio thought it wasn’t a good idea. During an interview with Empire recalled how he was roped in to helm a batman film back in the day but because Warner Bros. did not agree with his vision of the famous DC superhero, the film was ultimately shelved. When the studio refused to cast the actor as Batman, who would have though he will go on to win some of the most prestigious awards, including an Oscar, for his jaw dropping performance as Joker?
