On Oct. 7, Joker director Todd Phillips headed into Warner Bros. Pictures Grou
p chairman Toby Emmerich's office, buoyed by the film's $96.2 million opening-
weekend haul. Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter he proposed an outsized idea
— the rights to develop a portfolio of DC characters' origin stories.
Emmerich balked. After all, Warner Bros. is very protective of the DC canon. A
nd all other DC deals have been for one film, and one film only. But Phillips
did emerge from the meeting with the rights to at least one other DC story, so
urces say. And now that Joker has crossed the $1 billion mark, a sequel is on
the way. As the movie keeps raking in money overseas, Phillips is in talks to
reprise his role as director for a second Joker outing (he and Scott Silver, w
ho penned the gritty Joker screenplay, will write the follow-up), THR has lear
ned.
Warners has sequel options in place for Joker star Joaquin Phoenix, who has em
erged as a strong contender in the Oscar best actor race. The studio and Phill
ips' reps at CAA declined to comment.
大意就是說在10/7日導演就跟華納兄弟見面了,就是首周拿下9620萬的票房後,然後雖然
按照慣例華納對於DC的角色非常的保護,但是在那場會面中,導演確實又拿到了一部DC電
影的拍攝權利
但據傳在破10億後,導演本人在洽談小丑的續集,而華納也準備好要找回瓦昆繼續飾演,
但華納兄弟跟導演的公司都拒絕評論了
目前來看確定的應該是導演確實又拿到了一個DC電影的製作權利,這是有可能的
但也不確定是否就是小丑2,不過這是比較直接的連想,可以等一下後續
