JOKER Producer Explains The Film is "Unlike Any Comic Book Movie You've Ever Seen"
I love what I’ve seen from Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker. That alone has sold me on the fact that this is going to be a very special, unique, and different kind of comic book movie. Executive producer Michael E. Uslan recently talked about the film explaining that it’s “unlike any comic book movie you’ve ever seen.”
While attending Germany’s CCXP Cologne convention, Uslan said:
“Todd Phillips is the filmmaker there, and Todd had an incredible vision for this. All I can tell you is, in my humble opinion, the world is getting a little oversaturated with comic book movies and TV everywhere we turn.
“When I pick up a newspaper and find out that, ‘Oh my goodness, on May 5th, 2027, Ant-Man 5 is gonna open, I better write that down in my calendar,’ the world’s gone a little bit haywire. So not being a great fan in any media of oversaturation, I love when something comes out and it’s different, and it’s unique.”
He went on to say, “I thought Guardians of the Galaxy was different and unique when it came out. I thought Deadpool was different and unique when it came out. This Joker movie is different and unique and it’s unlike any comic book movie you’ve ever seen.”
I’ve been wanting to see DC get experimental with their films for awhile and try new out of the box things. This Joker movie is definitely going to be that. The producer went on to describe the film, saying:
“It’s maybe more like a Martin Scorsese, low-budget film noir crime drama, but I have all the faith in the world in Todd, the brilliantly talented Joaquin Phoenix, Robert De Niro. It’s an incredible, incredible group of people that’s brought this to life.”
It was previously explained that, “The approach that Todd Phillips has taken is more of an origin story and a character study of a mentally ill person that becomes the Joker. It’s more of an intimate and gritty movie with a very specific scope. It’s going to be really interesting to see how it comes out.”
I can’t wait to see this film. I’ve been hearing incredible things about it and that it could possibly get nominated for all kinds of awards. But, we’ll have to wait and see when it’s released on October 4th.
