"Todd took a very big swing with this whole concept and with the script, giving the sequel to 'Joker' this audacity and complexity," says Gaga. "There's music, there's dance, it's a drama, it's also a courtroom drama, it's a comedy, it's happy, it's sad. It's a testament to [Todd] as a director, that he would rather be creative than just tell a traditional story of love."

The first film cost $60 million, and though Phillips admits "Folie à Deux" was much more expensive, he says reports of its budget hitting $200 million are "absurd." Plus, he doesn't understand why people care about what's being spent.

"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.

Now, Arthur is locked up in a psych ward and facing the death penalty. But after meeting a fellow patient, Harleen "Lee" Quinzel (Gaga), who is obsessed with him — or, rather, his alter ego, Joker — Arthur ditches his medication and prances into a fantasy world that often plays like the MGM musicals of yesteryear on acid.

Quote

"We asked ourselves what would need to be true for two people to just break into song in the middle of a conversation?" Gaga says. "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."

ohhhh they're taking it

I've been told Gaga is a flop for 10 years.. What do I do NOOOWWW?!

 

As their bond intensifies, Arthur and Lee break into songs like "Get Happy," "For Once in My Life" and "That's Life" that convey their shifting emotions: He's drawn to romantic ballads; she prefers music about power. Clearly, they want different things out of a relationship.

 

 

OMG

It already became a huge contender the minute it was announced because of Bruno's Grammys history (and an overdue Gaga GF win narrative, to a lesser extent) but, and without sounding too jinx-y, with the imminent charts smashery, it's going to easily assume frontrunner status in a few weeks and have a real shot at winning.

 

Besides, JFAD is only going to help prolong its presence in the cultural zeitgeist with Tiktok edits like these.

 

 

This clip just shows how odd it looks over Joker footage. Just debunking even more the "it was made to capitalize on the movie" theories.

"The high voice, that accent, the gum-chewing and all that sort of sassy stuff that's in the comics, we stripped that away… We wanted her to fit into this world of Gotham that we created from the first movie."

 

 

Now, ffs I hope people stops comparing Gaga's and Margot's Harley.
