Before Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix Made ‘Joker 2’ a Musical, They Considered ‘Joker in Space’

1. Are they mentioning this to soften the underwhelming film they did shoot?

2. Now I’m upset we didn’t get a Joker musical in space.

3. Title isn’t exactly accurate. It was a joke between the two of them, a bunch of fake Joker posters Joaquin made up for fun and sent to Phillips.

4. I totally don’t get making it a musical. The first movie was regarded very well and was a drama/dark comedy. I personally didn’t really like it, but I get that people did like it.

5. They can still make Joker vs Alien for the third movie.

6. They’re not really selling this movie to me as a musical, strange angle

7. So he gets the scars from G-force training?

8. Im still waiting for, “Machete in Space.”

9. If we get a third I’d like them to keep it going and do a different genre. Like maybe a romantic comedy with a love triangle with joker Harley and ivy

10. …And they chose THE MUSICAL?!

11. That would’ve been great!

12. Lowkey irks me that Phillips has literally no interest in actually making a movie about the Joker, I get that in the ip age you have use a brand as a jumping off point to make something original but he didnt even do that he just ripped off Scorsese

13. Bring it to Broadway!
