The project recently got production rolling under the direction of Todd Phillips (The Hangover), with Joaquin Phoenix set to star as the man who ultimately turns into the Clown Prince of Crime.
Aside from Joaquin Phoenix, the cast also includes Zazie Beetz, Frances Conroy, Marc Maron, Bryan Callen and Robert de Niro.
Not in Joker makeup, as this movie is going to show the man’s transition into the DC villain.
