Todd Phillips anticipated "Joker: Folie à Deux", a musical sequel to 2019's "Joker", will start filming within the next 5-6 weeks.
In an interview, the original movie and its sequel's cinematographer Lawrence Sher revealed that the movie will mostly be shot in sound stages in Los Angeles but will also have scenes shot on location in New York.
He also spoke about Gaga's role and place in the movie.
“She’s going to be a really cool fit for this movie and will create a similar kind of magic that Joaquin brought by himself,” Sher added.
“The combination of the two will be exactly what we hope, which is exciting, and we’ll find magic every day on set. Hopefully, we’ll also have a bit of madness in there. We like when there is a little bit of chaos.”
Phillips co-wrote the script of the sequel with Scott Silver.
The musical sees Joaquin Phoenix reprising his role as the title character and Lady Gaga as the fan-favourite character Harley Quinn.
Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, and Harry Lawtey will star in the project.
Zazie Beetz is also in talks to reprise the role of Sophie from the original movie.
The first Joker was the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time with $1.074 billion, making it the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.
The movie earned 11 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, and a second Oscar win for Hildur Guðnadóttir’s original score.
It also starred Brett Cullen as Batman’s dad Thomas Wayne, Robert De Niro as a talk show host, Murray Franklin, Zazie Beetz as Sophie Dumond, Arthur’s love interest, as well as Marc Maron, Bill Camp, and Shea Whigham.
The movie’s story was completely original and didn’t follow any previously published comic books that feature the character.
"Joker: Folie à Deux" is scheduled to begin filming this December, with a theatrical release currently scheduled for October 4, 2024.
