Filming this December

Set photo leak chatter will be Barbie level

150 mil budget

Pay her $20M too

Initially wasn’t in for a sequel but this already sounds a lot better than the first one

Production weekly listing Scorcese as a producer

HUH

He was attached to produce / direct(?) the first one for ages so maybe he decided to jump on this time

Need a scene where joker and harley sing an old timey duet backed by the Arkham Asylum orchestra (a bunch of musicians dressed in hokey/cheap Batman rogues gallery costumes)

Kinda makes sense tho. Both of them are returning members and the entire production wouldn’t exist without their agreement to come back. They’re already the proven ones, made the billion and Phoenix is returning to a character he won an Oscar for. They have negotiating power

These are insane pay days regardless considering the initial budget that went into the first one. Even for a film like The Batman Rob only got $5M iirc. Sequels are when the returners bank

I feel like Lady Gaga is also a pretty huge name as well & has proven herself that she can do great in musicals and in film.

He produced the first one too

This is so messy

West Side Story numbers

Best Picture incoming

We all knew this was what the plot would be

Even more than that I think that was 100m

But if this is even half as amazing of a production as WSS was then I’m very hype

That movie from a musical standpoint is really the bar imo. Was impeccably directed, looked amazing from a visual/camera/colour standpoint and had amazing choreography

He’s always been linked in some way I think. Him exec producing the first fell through but he did have one of his people there to fill in and help with the influence from his films (can’t remember who or the exact details)

I recall him explaining during one of those directors roundtables (Phillips was there) that he decided he just didn’t really want to do a CBM. Maybe he’s changed tho with the new pitch. Easy money too

We need the Arkham version of this

Man what

Have you seen either movie?

Tf why does she deserve $20m if she just signed on?

Joker 1 would not have 1B without Joaquin and Todd

Gaga kills it in this role and for whatever reason they make a 3rd then im all for her getting her bag

Not just that but 10 mil is still a f***ton of money

ScarJo one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood and made 15 mil upfront for the last two Avengers movies. I think Gaga is getting her due with her starpower
