Video: The Movie Trailer thread

Or hers, considering the characters' traits.

But that's a good thing to consider.

Good point.

Is there any info of how much of the movie is a musical? Disney cartoon level? Or 3-4 times in a 90-120min run time?
The more I watch the trailer, the more I wonder how much of the scenes are "real" in that universe or just inside his head?

Honestly, I have avoided researching the movie for personal reasons. I like experiencing movies as freshly as possible, even though I cheat with trailers, lol.

What little I have read did not specific how much of the movie would be song-and-dance sequences. So far, the trailers do not *seem* to suggest they will eat up a bulk of the run-time. (fingers crossed).

I doubt there will be Disney cartoon type stuff with Phoenix in it. He does not seem like the type of SERIOUS actor who would agree with that sort of thing. Injecting a brief animation scene would be okay with me if it was done smartly. I still enjoy the scene in Kill Bill: Volume I with O-Ren Ishii growing up to be an assassin. That was pretty well done and fit the movie without diminishing its overall quality.

My guess is most of the scenes will be real. The trailers have shown the characters interacting in prison wearing prison clothing. Other snippets have shown them outside prison in normal non Joker/Harley Quinn clothing also. Just my guess.

Just one critique: Rivers?

Good catch. I always think of Joaquin's deceased brother whenever I see him or his name. Then I make the mistake of substituting the brother's first name and adding an 'S' for Joaquin's last name.

I still miss his brother. He could have been an even bigger Hollywood star than Joaquin in my opinion.

Oh yeah, he was already a spectacular actor, even at his young age, and considering how cheesy most of his contemporaries at the time were, I think he would have become a huge star.

I'll put big money on Phoenix winning another Oscar. And I guarantee Gaga will at least be nominated for best actress.

I always think of Leaf Phoenix.

Still do not understand WHY it must be a musical. I would be waiting for it with higher anticipation like Joker if it wasn't.

I 'knew' Joaquin Rivers had the potential of being a great Joker. He was, although I still put Heath Ledger at the top of my list.

Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn? I am not feeling that yet, even after watching a couple of trailers.

I saw Harley when the first Suicide Squad trailer was released. Margot Robbie nailed the character for me from jump. So far, I have only seen Lady Gaga. No Harley. Hopefully, the metamorphosis will hit me in October.

WHAAAAAT?? This is a musical???? Oh, I'm out on that then. Lame.

I decided to dig a bit and found this:

‘Joker 2’ Musical Details Revealed: At Least 15 Cover Songs, Original Tracks May Be Added (EXCLUSIVE)​

By Clayton Davis | Variety
March 22, 2024

<excerpted>

Insiders privy to filming and early versions of Todd Phillips’ eagerly awaited sequel to “Joker” tell Variety the movie leans heavily towards being “mostly a jukebox musical,” as it integrates at least 15 reinterpretations of “very well-known” songs. One is said to be “That’s Entertainment” from the 1953 musical “The Band Wagon,” famously associated with Judy Garland... Read more

The genres assigned to Joker: Folie a Deux by my three primary review sites:

IMDB: Crime/Drama/Musical (link)​

Metacritic: Crime/Drama/Musical/Thriller (link)​

Rotten Tomatoes: Crime/Drama/Musical (link)​

​

I am hoping Metacritic is correct about it being partially a thriller. There have not been that many good dramatic musical thrillers that I have seen. The Phantom of the Opera is one.

I mostly remember good musical/thrillers being intertwined together as a comedy. Little Shop of Horrors is one. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is another.

October is still three months away. Hope it gets here sooner than later, lol.

All the musical haters in this thread, acting like they didn’t cry at the end of La La Land.

Well, I have not watched La La Land but I do enjoy musicals. And hopefully crying at the end of West Side Story counts.

My problem is these specific characters being thrusted into a musical setting. It will not stop me from seeing the movie but knowing it will be presented in this fashion does make me have a negative conscious bias going into the theater. I hope I (and just for myself) can walk out of the theater with an opinion not weigh down by that bias.

I've liked a couple of musicals. Grease (even Grease 2) & Annie. I'm sure there are others I can't think of right now. I watched La La Land, completely over-rated imo. I just didn't see what the fuss was about.

Anyone get the chance to see this yet? It just came out.

Most reviews say Nicholas Cage is absolutely stellar and the visuals are great, but some reviews are not as positive regarding the story itself.

I've seen it. I thought it was pretty good, but very dark.

Reminded me somewhat of True Detective Season 1. Which is a great show imo.

This looks really well done, effects-wise. I hope the story is good too. Jenna Ortega is pretty awesome, so I'm sure the casting is excellent.

Looks more like a TV series than a movie...atleast in that trailer.

It looks promising!!!

Please don't screw this up, Hollywood.
