Joker

Joker 2019

Todd Phillips, Joaquin Phoenix, Robert De Niro

Warner Bros. Pictures' 'Joker' stars Oscar nominee Joaquin Phoenix in the title role, alongside Oscar winner Robert De Niro, and is directed, produced and co-written by Oscar nominee Todd Phillips.

'Joker' centers around the iconic arch nemesis and is an original, standalone story not seen before on the big screen. Phillips' exploration of Arthur Fleck(Phoenix), a man disregarded by society, is not only a gritty character study, but also a broader cautionary tale.

Phillips('The Hangover' trilogy) directs from a screenplay he co-wrote with writer Scott Silver('The Fighter'), based on characters from DC. The film is produced by Phillips and Bradley Cooper under their Joint Effort banner, and Emma Tillinger Koskoff. It is executive produced by Walter Hamada, Michael E. Uslan, Aaron L. Gilbert, Joseph Garner, Richard Baratta, and Bruce Berman.

Behind the scenes, Phillips is joined by director of photography Lawrence Sher(upcoming 'Godzilla: King of the Monsters', 'The Hangover' trilogy), production designer Mark Friedberg('Selma', 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2'), editor Jeff Groth('War Dogs', 'The Hangover Part III'), and Oscar-winning costume designer Mark Bridges('Phantom Thread', 'The Artist').

A Warner Bros. Pictures presentation, in Association with Village Roadshow Pictures, in Association with BRON Creative, a Joint Effort Production, a Todd Phillips Movie, 'Joker' is set for release October 4, 2019, and will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
