Note: With the release of the teaser trailer for 2019's Joker movie today, we figured now was a good time to update this comparison piece between what Joaquin Phoenix and director Todd Phillips seemingly have in store for fans and the Martin Scorsese classic The King of Comedy, which is said to be an inspiration behind their film.
If you’re excited about the Joker origin movie starring Joaquin Phoenix, you have some homework to do. The new film reportedly takes its inspiration from a cult classic Martin Scorsese/Robert De Niro movie which was largely overlooked in its time, but was eventually reevaluated, and is now considered one of the most acidic motion pictures about the entertainment industry ever filmed. The movie is called The King of Comedy, and it’s only one step removed from “The Clown Prince of Crime.”
