Joker 3: Todd Phillips Shares Disappointing Update on Next DC Film

Aug 21, 2024 · 5:27 PM Blog

Joker: Folie à Deux is steadily creeping into the box office spotlight, leaving fans in awe. With the intense portrayal of the Joker and the introduction of Harley Quinn in this sequel, the film has set remarkably high expectations. Set for release this year, it is already generating massive hype among fans. But the burning question remains: are there any chances of a third installment in the Joker saga? Let’s delve into that possibility.

Director Todd Phillips has significantly raised the bar by transforming an action-packed supervillain story into a Broadway musical, revolutionizing the art of filmmaking. The tale of Batman’s archenemy, the Joker, intertwined with his love story with Quinn, promises to reveal much to fans. The musical setting for the Joker makes this the first superhero musical film of its kind.

In a candid conversation, the director of Joker: Folie à Deux revealed that he will not direct the third movie. He said that his work as a maker is already over with Joker 2, and “what was supposed to be said is done.” He even mentioned that shooting the movie was a fun thing, but this movie will be his last project.

Phillip even mentioned that Joker 3 may be in the books, but he isn’t directing it. He said that after directing two movies on The Joker, his part in playing the character is over. “Whatever I could bring to the life of Aurthur, that chapter is closed,” said the director. With Joker 2, fans will see a different side of the clown prince from what is shown in the comics.

Apart from the Joker franchise, Todd Phillips shared his blissful acceptance of working with Joaquin Phoenix on a good script. He praised Phoenix’s acting and wishes to work with him on a comedy role. Joaquin reprising his role as Arthur Fleck, aka Joker, is already loved by fans.

In praise of the actor, Todd said that Phoenix was a great choice for the musical drama-action movie. Todd, who has directed movies like Due Date and The Hangover trilogy, said that bringing Joaquin on board for a comedy role will be fun “because he is loose and funny.”

Talking about the movie, it depicts the life of a man named Arthur Fleck. Despite his failed career, he meets the love of his life, Harley Quinn (played by Lady Gaga), while recovering at Arkham State Hospital. After getting released, he makes his life less miserable and embarks on an adventure of crime and fun. The movie is slated to release worldwide on October 4 this year.

After Nani, Siddhu Jonnalagadda reacts to Arshad Warsi’s ‘joker’ remark on Prabhas and Kalki 2898 AD; writes a long note

Aug 21, 2024 · 5:27 PM Blog

Siddhu Jonnalagadda recently made a statement against Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi over his remarks on Prabhas – calling the latter a “joker.” In an Instagram story shared by the DJ Tillu actor, he said, “Everybody has a right to opinion. We all like/hate films and actors according to our whims and fancies and that is alright.”

“But, how you express that opinion matters, big time. Especially when you are a member of the same community and know how hard it is to find a footing here and then to sustain it. We are all game for some constructive criticism but terms like ‘Joker’ don’t exactly scream the same.”

The actor elaborated on how the film Kalki 2898 AD truly represents the pride of Indian cinema. Siddhu also mentioned that Nag Ashwin stands out as a remarkable director, and Prabhas is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars in the Indian film industry.

He added that the movie’s biggest pillar was the actor and his stardom. This “X-Factor” is what made the film collect more than 1000 crores in box office revenue.

Additionally, the actor also said, “Here at the telugu cinema, we respect anyones right to opinion provided the mode of delivery is mindful. Let’s have some mutual respect here please.”

For those unaware, Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi was recently caught in a podcast interview with Samdish Bhatia called Unfiltered with Samdish. In the show, the Munna Bhai MBBS actor was asked about any movies he watched and didn’t like.

In his response, while praising Amitabh Bachchan for his portrayal of Ashwatthama, he criticized Prabhas and his acting. He said, “Prabhas, I am really sad, why was he like a joker? Why? I want to see Mad Max. I want to see Mel Gibson over there. What have you made it, I can never understand why they would do such things.”

The comments made by Arshad against the Rebel Star have created quite a stir amongst fans. Recently, actor Nani also hit out against the same and said, “I think the biggest publicity in that person’s life has occurred now. You guys are unnecessarily glorifying an unimportant matter then.”

28 Years Later Sequel: Cast and Plot Details Revealed

Aug 21, 2024 · 5:27 PM Blog

The horrors of the early 2000s are set to haunt fans once again. After nearly two decades, director Danny Boyle is finally bringing the long-awaited sequel to the post-apocalyptic drama, 28 Years Later. The film, set to release in 2024, will reunite old and new faces, including Cillian Murphy.

As the horror franchise expanded with 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, the next installment in the series was announced last year. Now, with the shooting for 28 Years Later wrapped up, let’s explore every detail about the upcoming sequel.

The shooting of 28 Years Later commenced in May 2024, and according to recent buzz, the film has now completed production. With the movie wrapped up, it is anticipated to hit theaters around the summer of 2025. Although the film was shot in a relatively short time, it’s poised to deliver chills, though not much is known about the plot and theme of this horror thriller.

Since the sequel will pick up where its predecessor left off, we might witness the aftermath of the events 28 years later. Rumors are swirling about a possible third installment, which would make the series a trilogy. Producer Andrew Macdonald recently confirmed that the apocalyptic series will indeed have a third part.

Initially, the release was expected later in 2025, but it has now been confirmed for June 25, 2025. The long-awaited zombie apocalypse movie is finally hitting screens next summer.

Alongside the release announcement, the cast for the sequel has been revealed. Following the success of Oppenheimer, Cillian Murphy is set to reprise his role as Jim, the lead character from 28 Days Later.

The film will also feature Jodie Comer, Erin Kellyman, Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, known for his role in Kraven. While specific character details remain under wraps, there is speculation that the story will focus on the years following the zombie outbreak. Jack O’Connell is rumored to have an intriguing role and is expected to be part of the third installment as well.

Though the plot remains undisclosed, the title suggests the film will explore the aftermath of the apocalypse and how humanity began to rebuild after the virus. With Alex Garland and Danny Boyle at the helm, the movie may take a fresh approach. Both 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later featured escalating tension and contrasting endings, so fans are eager to see what direction the new installment will take.

After the widespread devastation caused by the virus, the sequel will likely jump ahead by decades, showing how humans have begun to reestablish their cities. Fans are already curious to see what the film will reveal.
