Todd Phillips, director of the upcoming Joker, just released a camera test that ends with Joaquin Phoenix in full Joker makeup. It seems to fall somewhere between Heath Ledger's Dark Knight look and just flat-out circus clown.
This comes after the first official photo from production dropped earlier this week. That one featured Phoenix sans makeup and revealed that this version of the clown prince of crime's pre-Joker name is Arthur Fleck.
Joker is scheduled to hit theaters October 4th of next year. Along with Phoenix, the cast list includes Robert DeNiro, Zazie Beetz, and Marc Maron. Martin Scorcese is producing.
It will be interesting to see how fans react. What do you think?
