The clown prince of crime returns to the big screen in the anticipated sequel to DC Comics’ Joker (2019), “Joker: Folie à Deux”, which will premiere on Wednesday, October 2, at Screenville Cinemas of Island City Mall and Alturas Mall.
Joaquin Phoenix reprises his title role as the Joker with pop star Lady Gaga as his love interest Lee Quinzel. Two years after the events of the first film, Arthur Fleck aka Joker, a mentally ill, criminal with a clown-inspired persona, is now a patient at Arkham State Hospital.
When he falls in love with fellow inmate Lee, they form a deadly romantic relationship. The two experience musical madness through their linked insanity, thus, came the French title “Folie à Deux”, which means “Madness for Two.”
“Joker” was a box office success grossing over $1 billion against a $62.5 million budget. In addition, the film received 11 Oscar nominations and two wins, with Phoenix following the late Heath Ledger in winning an acting Oscar for his performance as the classic Batman antagonist.
