JOKER Origin Movie (First Poster Released)

[Kraysla]

I thought they might have done something right adding Baldwin, then i read his character description. So they're just making a random, re-imagined Joker story? The fuck.

This could have actually been interesting if they did it right (though it still wouldn't have changed their cluster fuck of a universe and poor decision making.)

So is this like an Earth 2 where Thomas Wayne is Batman?

Either way killed all hope for this movie, not that i had a whole lot of hope.

 

[MMouse]

Alec Baldwin to Play Bruce Wayne's Father, Thomas Wayne, in JOKER Standalone Origin Movie

Alec Baldwin is joining Joaquin Phoenix in Joker, Warner Bros.' standalone movie centered on the DC’s clown prince of crime.

Baldwin is the latest high-profile actor to join the project, which is scheduled to behind shooting in two weeks. Robert De Niro, Deadpool 2 breakout Zazie Beetz and Glow actor Marc Maron are already on the call sheet.

Phoenix is portraying the DC Comics villain in a film that is more moderately budgeted and darker than the studio’s other DC-based movies, known as the DC Cinematic Universe. The project is also described as more of a dark character study than a crime thriller, with Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy as the tonal watchwords.

Baldwin has been tapped for the role of Thomas Wayne, who is Batman lore is the father of Bruce Wayne, the future Batman.

But this being a movie project that will veer off center from the traditional Batman cannon, sources say that the script paints Thomas Wayne as a cheesy and tanned businessman who is more in the mold of a 1980s Donald Trump.

Baldwin already has plenty of experience playing Trump via Saturday Night Live, which recently earned him a second Emmy nomination for the role. The actor currently can be seen onscreen in the Paramount hit Mission: Impossible — Fallout, and recently wrapped a role in Motherless Brooklyn, a crime drama being made by Warners.

I have high hopes because I wanted a dark and gritty Batman movie set in the 80’s. Kind of like a Deathwish type setting but Batman instead of Paul Kersey.

This will have to do I hope.

This one isn't the bad idea

Joker in suicide squad was the bad idea

Be that as it may, a Joker character already exists in the established continuity.

Throwing another Joker played by a different actor in the mix is just bad housekeeping. The best this movie can do is make the previous movie look like a fuck up.

Alec Baldwin Drops Out of Warner Bros.' JOKER Origin Movie Due to "Scheduling Issues"

Alec Baldwin says he has dropped out of Joker, the standalone featuring the DC villain that is starring Joaquin Phoenix. "I'm no longer doing that movie," Baldwin told USA Today.

On Monday, news broke that Baldwin was in talks to play Thomas Wayne in Todd Phillips' Joker standalone movie.

In comic book lore, Thomas Wayne is a physician, philanthropist and father to Bruce Wayne (the future Batman). Sources told The Hollywood Reporter Monday that in a departure from the comics, the Joker script called for Thomas Wayne to be a cheesy and tanned businessman who is more in the mold of a 1980s Donald Trump.

Baldwin is citing "scheduling issues" as his reason for dropping out. But Wednesday he also addressed the new take on Wayne.

Baldwin, who recently earned a second Emmy nomination for playing Trump on Saturday Night Live, tweeted Wednesday that he had not "been hired to play a role in Todd Phillips’ JOKER as some Donald Trump manque. That is not happening."

Phoenix is playing the Joker, while other stars include Robert De Niro, Deadpool 2 breakout Zazie Beetz and Glow actor Marc Maron. The film is set to begin shooting in two weeks. Warner Bros. is due to open Joker on Oct. 4, 2019.

[milliniar]

Well that was quick.

 

[PRIDEWASBETTER]

Well that was quick.

Hahaha right?

 

[CoolB]

I'm happy to hear this.

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

Didn't have an issue before and I still don't have an issue

I guess maybe the only issue I had was that Baldwin is way older than Thomas Wayne should be

 

[Myrddin Wild]

I thought Alec would be perfect for Bruce's Dad... but they revealed their agenda & Alec told them to f*ck themselves.

They literally could've kept their Trump agenda to themselves secret & everything would've been fine, but they had to get "activist" on us? WTF is their reason for revealing this right now. They could've just as easily talked about this after the movie waz made. Now we're going to get a Batman dad who ain't the Alec I was expecting.

They better make this right, or so help me I'll post again about it.

 

[Loiosh]

but Suicide Squad waz fookin' awesome.

As movies go, it was pretty bad.

I enjoyed it, not going to lie, but it was a clumsy bit of cinema.
