Joker en format 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray et DVD prochainement

Warner Bros annonce pour le 7 janvier 2020, le film Joker en format 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray et DVD. Réalisé par Todd Phillips, il met en vedette Joaquin Phoenix, Zazie Beetz, Robert De Niro, Bryan Callen, Shea Whigham, Frances Conroy, Bill Camp et Brett Cullen.

Des pistes sonores anglaise et française seront disponibles.

Évoluant en solitaire dans la foule, Arthur Fleck cherche malgré tout à entrer en contact avec les autres. Alors qu’il se promène dans les rues insalubres de Gotham City et se déplace à bord des trains couverts de graffitis d’une ville hostile n’inspirant qu’isolement et frustration, Arthur se cache derrière deux masques. Le premier est un maquillage qu’il porte pour son travail de clown. Et le deuxième est permanent : c’est l’image qu’il projette lorsqu’il tente désespérément de s’intégrer au monde qui l’entoure, et non de l’homme incompris qu’il est réellement, absorbant constamment les coups durs de la vie. Né d’un père inconnu, Arthur est élevé par une mère fragile qui demeure encore aujourd’hui sa meilleure amie. Le surnom qu’elle lui donne teinte son sourire de l’âme endolorie tapie en lui. Mais lorsque des adolescents violentent Arthur dans la rue, des brutes en complet le tabassent dans le métro et ses collègues se moquent tout simplement de lui, l’aliénation sociale de cet homme maladroit ne fait que s’accélérer.

ABOUT THE FILM

Forever alone in a crowd, Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) longs for any light to shine on him.  Trying his hand as a stand-up comic, he finds the joke always seems to be on him. Caught in a cyclical existence between apathy and cruelty and, ultimately, betrayal, Arthur makes one bad decision after another that brings about a chain reaction of escalating events.

Three-time Oscar nominee Phoenix (“The Master,” “Walk the Line,” “Gladiator”) stars in the titular role alongside Oscar winner Robert De Niro (“Raging Bull,” “The Godfather: Part II”). The film also stars Zazie Beetz (TV’s “Atlanta,” “Deadpool 2”), Frances Conroy (TV’s “American Horror Story,” TV’s “Castle Rock”), Brett Cullen (“42,” TV’s “Narcos”), Glenn Fleshler (TV’s “Billions,” TV’s “Barry”), Bill Camp (“Red Sparrow,” “Molly’s Game”), Shea Whigham (“First Man,” “Kong: Skull Island”), Marc Maron (TV’s “Maron,” TV’s “GLOW”), Douglas Hodge (“Red Sparrow,” TV’s “Penny Dreadful”), Josh Pais (“Going in Style”) and Leigh Gill (TV’s “Game of Thrones”).

Phillips directed the film from a screenplay he co-wrote with Oscar-nominated writer Scott Silver (“The Fighter”), based on characters from DC. The film was produced by Phillips and Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper under their Joint Effort banner, and Oscar nominee Emma Tillinger Koskoff. Serving as executive producers were Michael E. Uslan, Walter Hamada, Aaron L. Gilbert, Joseph Garner, Richard Baratta and Bruce Berman.

Phillips’s behind-the-scenes team included director of photography Lawrence Sher (“Godzilla: King of the Monsters,” “The Hangover” trilogy), production designer Mark Friedberg (“If Beale Street Could Talk,” “Selma”), editor Jeff Groth (“War Dogs,” “The Hangover Part III”) and Oscar-winning costume designer Mark Bridges (“Phantom Thread,” “The Artist”). The music is by Hildur Guðnadóttir (TV’s “Chernobyl,” “Sicario: Day of the Soldado”).
