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.
大意就是说在10/7日导演就跟华纳兄弟见面了,就是首周拿下9620万的票房后,然后虽然
按照惯例华纳对于DC的角色非常的保护,但是在那场会面中,导演确实又拿到了一部DC电
影的拍摄权利
但据传在破10亿后,导演本人在洽谈小丑的续集,而华纳也准备好要找回瓦昆继续饰演,
但华纳兄弟跟导演的公司都拒绝评论了
目前来看确定的应该是导演确实又拿到了一个DC电影的制作权利,这是有可能的
但也不确定是否就是小丑2,不过这是比较直接的连想,可以等一下后续
