Next Tuesday is set to be a big day for film enthusiasts. Not only will we get another tantalizing glimpse at Todd Phillips' highly anticipated “Joker: Folie à Deux,” but the Venice Film Festival will also announce its lineup for its 81st edition. The timing is no coincidence, suggesting that Phillips' sequel is aiming for a prime spot at the prestigious festival.
Fans of the original “Joker” will remember its surprising triumph at Venice in 2019, where it took home the coveted Golden Lion. With Lady Gaga joining Joaquin Phoenix, who reprises his role as Arthur, expectations are high. The sequel promises a runtime of around 140 minutes and features over 20 songs, focusing on the bond between two outcasts at Arkham Asylum.
Set for release on October 4, 2024, including special IMAX 70MM screenings, “Joker: Folie à Deux” is already generating buzz. With its star-studded cast and promising plot, it's poised to make a significant impact. As we await the new trailer and the Venice lineup announcement, the excitement is palpable. Don't miss out—mark your calendars and stay tuned for more updates on this cinematic event!
