Joaquin Phoenix

It’s officially official: The DCEU will confuse you even more and introduce another Joked played by Joaquin Phoenix.

These are 10 great movies and performance from the first half of 2018 we hope won’t be forgotten during awards season.

Robert De Niro might be joining the DCEU for the Martin Scorsese-produced Joker origin story.

Joaquin Phoenix and John C. Reilly are a pair of killer siblings in a western comedy from the director of ‘A Prophet.’

Joaquin Phoenix reunites with Gus Van Sant to play cartoonist John Callahan in ‘Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot’ trailer.

Joaquin Phoenix is a weary contract killer in Lynne Ramsay’s riveting, blood-soaked thriller.

Hold onto your butts because that Joker origin movie just keeps getting wilder. According to a new report, Todd Phillips’ DCEU spinoff is taking a page from Martin Scorsese’s The King of Comedy, exploring how one desperate man’s failed career as a stand-up comic in the ’80s inspired him to become Batman’s most iconic villain. Is this a movie project or a series of escalating dares?

The film would be the first DC Comics film outside the DC Extended Universe.

Critics weren’t too kind to Gus Van Sant’s last film (the Matthew McConaughey Japanese suicide forest movie), but the filmmaker tends to follow a pattern where every other movie is actually good — and thankfully, judging by the first trailer, Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot looks to be one of the better Van Sant projects in recent years. Joaquin Phoenix leads an awesome cast (which includes a few musical faves) in the true story of an alcoholic who finds respite from his addiction in drawing cartoons for the funny pages.

Judging by the new trailer for Lynne Ramsay’s You Were Never Really Here, you really do not want to find out what “hammer time” means for Joaquin Phoenix. But we’re going to find out anyway when the new thriller hits theaters early next April — or now, if you watch the trailer, which teases a heavy flick in which Phoenix does his best Oldboy impression, playing a “fixer” who hunts down the evil men who kidnap young girls.
