Five years after “Joker” won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival, filmmaker Todd Phillips is returning with the sequel.
“Joker: Folie à Deux” will play in competition with 20 other titles, festival organizers said Tuesday. The highly anticipated follow-up to the blockbuster comic book film stars Joaquin Phoenix as the mentally ill Arthur Fleck and Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn. The lineup for the 81st edition of the festival, unveiled early Tuesday, also includes new films starring Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig and Jude Law.
Venice also will screen Peter Weir’s 2003 epic “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World” in conjunction with his lifetime achievement award. Seven episodes of Alfonso Cuarón’s psychological thriller series “Disclaimer” will premiere at the festival. The AppleTV+ show is based on a novel about a documentary journalist and a secret she’s been keeping. It stars Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline and will debut on the streamer in October.
