it’s confirmed, the rest will be very different

If the first Joker film was very special in its treatment, almost intimate, its sequel promises to be very different.

While his Released in 2019, the film Joker had shaped the spirits with its very special treatment, with a skilful mix of genres between dramatic and intimate film. Well, its sequel seems to be taking a very different path.

A big deal, but not just for Joker 2

Even the film should improve the salary of several protagonists of the project. Director Todd Phillips gets $20 million and Lady Gaga $10 million for her role as Harley Quinn. According to the newspaper diversityJoaquin Phoenix alone is also set to receive the handsome sum of $20 million, compared to $4.5 million in the previous film. From the very beginning a clear difference takes place and it is impossible to ignore it. Difficult to make an intimate film when it comes to such sums.

Music!

Those salaries add up to the cost of producing complicated musical sequences, Variety points out. This is how the budget of the film will be 150 million dollars against $55 million for the first film. With a budget that triples, even accounting for the actors’ and director’s salaries, we suspect the film will take a slightly different approach. If only for the presence of musical sequences that will break with the atmosphere of the 2019 film.
