The actor isn't surprised by the controversy, saying, 'I didn’t imagine that it would be smooth sailing.'
Joaquin Phoenix isn't surprised by all the controversy surrounding Joker — but he wants to let the new film speak for itself. The actor sat down recently with Vanity Fair to discuss his take on Arthur Fleck in Todd Phillips's psychological comic book drama.
After Joker premiered at the Venice Film Festival where it took home top honors, reviews of the R-rated movie were divisive. While critics unanimously praised Phoenix's performance, some questioned whether the film was sending a"dangerous" message about the loner Batman villain in the era of mass shootings.
The interview was released amid concerns of crowd safety at screenings when Joker is released later this week. The New York Post reported NYPD Chief of Patrol Rodney Harrison directed all the city’s precincts to provide police coverage at theaters showing the film. Sources claim uniformed patrol cops will also be sent to AMC theaters throughout Manhattan.
When contacted about the report a NYPD spokesperson told Yahoo Entertainment"personnel will be deployed as needed."
