The intro scene of Joker 2 was animated by Sylvain Chomet!

The director of The Triplets of Belleville at DC.

Todd Phillips is not afraid of anything. The director of Very Bad Trip is a filmmaker who dares, as his friend confides Robert Downey Jr. who turned Deadline with him in 2010: “Todd still wants to beat the casino! This guy is Ocean's Eleven all by himself. He just wants to break the bank and sneak out the back door without anyone knowing what happened…”

Understand: to rob the box office with a masterstroke like Jokersuddenly became a billionaire in 2019. So for the rest, Joker: Madness for Two, Todd Phillips will try even bolder, even crazier things. We're talking about musical numbers and a mind-blowing opening: as Variety reveals, the film opens with a Looney Tunes-inspired cartoon featuring the Joker, under the direction of the French director Sylvain Chomet !

The filmmaker of Belleville Triplets (2003) signed this animated sequence (about which we know nothing for the moment) which will feature Arthur Fleck before throwing him into prison riots.The purpose of this film is to make it look like it was made by lunatics. The inmates have taken over the asylum.“e” laughs Phillips.

Let us remember that The Triplets of Belleville had received a warm welcome in the United States, generating $7 million in revenue and earning an Oscar nomination along the way! The talent of Sylvain Chomet was then regularly used by Hollywood, as when The Simpsons asked him in 2014 to perform a couch gag…

Joker 2 will be released in theaters in France on October 2, 2024.
