So a new test footage video of the Joker in makeup from the upcoming Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie came up on Instagram, and it’s AWESOME. The Joker has a The Dark Knight-style hairdo and makeup, but...he looks more like your average scary clown instead of the Joker. But you know what? It’s an origin movie. It takes time to perfect. It’s not like you still see Spider-Man running around with his wrestling outfit and mask still on from the first Sam Raimi movie, right? Over time he becomes the hero (or the villain, in Joker’s case) that we all know and love. Also, the Joker is wearing some SHARP red shreds! Noice, man! They look even fancier than the purple coat the Joker wore in the Dark Night. But still, that purple coat didn’t come cheap. 😈
P.S. Did anyone get that reference at the end.
Also, during the test footage, the song “Laughing” by the band The Guess Who plays.
ReplyDeleteSo at the beginning of the test footage, Arthur, which is the Joker’s real name, is just standing on the street without his clown makeup, played by the wonderful Joaquin Phoenix. Then the song starts playing, accompanied by footage in the background of the Joker. Then...when it comes to the lyric in the song, “you were laughing,” the footage becomes a few seconds of the Joker standing closer to the camera, in his clown makeup and new red threds.
