Camera test (w/ sound). Joker.
Now, I can’t claim to know exactly what camera tests are for. But I know this one passed.
Set in a gritty, Taxi Driver-inspired Gotham City, Joker follows comedian Arthur Fleck as he descends into madness and crime. The film stars the aforementioned Phoenix as the title role, as well as megastars like Robert De Niro and Marc Maron. The Todd Phillips-directed project breaks completely from the previously established DC Cinematic Universe, and it is currently filming in New York City. As of now, Joker‘s release date is October 4th, 2019.
What do you think of the Joker camera test? Does it make you excited for the film? Where do you think Phoenix will sport a ‘damaged‘ tattoo? Give us a shout on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram to let us know. For all your Joker news, keep lurking at Nightmare on Film Street.
