It looks like production on Todd Philips' Joker origin film may have gotten underway slightly earlier than expected.

On the heels of some recent photos of star Joaquin Phoenix out and about on the streets of New York with the director, Philips has shared an Instagram post which suggests that cameras may already be rolling.

Unfortunately, the pic features Philips himself and doesn't give us a first look at Phoenix in costume as The Clown Prince of Crime - we'll likely have to wait a while longer for that!

 

Here we go.

Joker also stars Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz and Marc Maron, and is currently set to hit theaters on Oct. 4, 2019.

Wolverine, Darth Vader and The Joker are the three characters in fiction who were better off with an unknown past.

@MaximusTheMad - I don't mind a Joker origin story. But I don't need a complete film of him.

Watched War Dogs a couple days ago. Convinced me this guy can make an awesome Joker movie.

@BeyondtheFuture - War Dogs was a pretty cool movie. Loved Jonah Hill in it.

@RageDriver - Yeah I loved the part at the end where he gave the sob story and then turned it around, revealing he was essentially a psychopath. That was quality acting. He wouldn't be a bad villain casting himself actually.

@BeyondtheFuture - out there in some alternate timeline Jonah Hill is playing the Penguin.

@RageDriver - It's also the universe that has talking humanlike rabbits. That interesting.

@BeyondtheFuture - I personally found War Dogs to be pretty mediocre and a poor man's Wolf of Wallstreet.

His resume isn't very good but there have been many directors that managed to deliver strong cbms despite their poor past filmography. I hope the same happens with him, however I have no expectations at all for this film.

For some reason, I don't think we're going to see "Joker" - maybe a few nods here and there but I doubt this will exist in a "Comic-book world". I wouldn't say I'm excited for this movie, but I'm very much intrigued.

@AbidNaga - I'm more intrigued by this flick more so than VENOM. With the cast and crew assembled and the tone described as being a 70s/80s Martin Scorsese-like character drama in a comic book world, I'm cautiously optimistic about how it'll turn out.

I hope "Barry" makes a cameo in the movie.

Off topic: Does anyone know how so much of the Spider-Man PS4 gameplay has found its way on to the internet? I found tons of videos on YouTube today.

Here's a couple of suits combat gameplay video (no story spoilers). The Iron-Spider suit abilities are wicked cool.

Off topic: I just saw A Star is Born. In the middle of a very disappointing year of cinema (outside of CBMs), what a breath of fresh air. I've never seen the previous iterations of this story (I think there's been at least 3), so I can't compare, but this was Million Dollar Baby level of great. That's the one movie I would compare it to. Not perfect, but incredibly close. Cooper is a killer director, and Gaga a revelation. That movie is gonna get some awards for sure. 9.5 out of 10.

@TheDoctor1225 - You need to listen to this new podcast I link to you below. It's a bit long, but it's incredibly informative regarding what happened with Lethal Weapon, who is to blame, and moreover how Fox and WB manage, or don't, their projects. It's 100% clear to me that Clayne Crawford isn't responsible for what happened to him, nor to the show. You can just tell by how clear and fast-paced his arguments are that he isn't making anything up. Give it a listen.
