00:00How does it feel to be at this incredible UK premiere in the iconic Leicester Square?
00:04It's the best. I love coming here. I've been here with a lot of movies and it's so nice
00:07to be back.
00:09What made you want to revisit the world of Joker?
00:12I guess Joaquin Phoenix. He's the greatest actor there ever was and I love working with
00:16him. I just wanted to be around him more. I mean, you know, Joaquin just is... He just
00:23is... He never stops challenging you as a filmmaker and he loves to be challenged back
00:29so it just makes the process really fun.
00:31So it was great to be there on a second go.
00:33Yeah, it was the best.
00:34Let's talk about Lady Gaga. Why was she the perfect person for Lee, aka Carly Quinn?
00:40Well for the obvious... One obvious reason is that because we leaned so heavy on the
00:44music in this film that, you know, she brought music with her. But at the same time she brought
00:49a level of vulnerability which I think really worked for Lee.
00:54Why should fans go and see this in cinemas in the UK?
00:57I mean, fans... You know, it's not just this movie. Every movie needs to be seen in cinemas
01:01not only to support the cinemas but because movies are meant to be seen with a bunch of
01:07strangers sitting around you laughing, crying, shocked, whatever it is. It's a group experience.
01:12That's what we make the movies for.
