According to one of those actors, “Joker: Folie à Deux” was always destined to be a failure, and even the cast members knew it.
Comedian Tim Dillon, who stars in the highly acclaimed movie, made an appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” earlier this week. During the three-hour conversation, the two talked about how TD’s latest movie failed at the box office.
When film critics criticized some of the initial film’s themes, Dillon is unambiguously labeling the picture the “worst film ever made” and claiming that the film’s creators changed their minds.
TD essentially states that he believes the directors went too far and chose to just put Joaquin Phoenix in tap shoes because they didn’t like their picture being criticized for showing masculine wrath and being adored by the incel community.
Dillon shares anecdotes about sitting with other performers in supporting parts and frequently exclaiming, “What the hell was going on with this film?” He claims that other people were taken aback because the film appeared to have no plot and was certain to be a box office failure.
The film, in which Dillon plays a prison guard at Arkham Asylum, was a box office failure, earning slightly over $200 million worldwide. Phoenix won his first Oscar for the first movie, which brought in over $1 billion.
Even critics despise the film, as seen by its dismal 32% rating on review site Rotten Tomatoes.
Perhaps the next time, directors should get the opinion of the bit role guys!
