00:00Ahead of Joker's world premiere at the Venice Film Festival this weekend,
00:14we now have a new look at the dark DC villain origin story.
00:22Warner Bros. dropped a brand new trailer for the film starring Joaquin Phoenix as the title character on Wednesday.
00:27The movie, set in 1981, centers on Arthur Fleck, a.k.a. Joker,
00:31a clown who dreams of becoming a stand-up comedian.
00:34When I was a little boy and told people I was going to be a comedian,
00:38everyone laughed at me. Well, no one's laughing now.
00:42You can say that again, pal.
00:44The trailer also gives us a look at Phoenix's co-stars Robert De Niro,
00:48Deadpool 2 actress Sazzy Beetz, and Glo's Marc Maron.
00:51The film has drawn comparisons to Martin Scorsese's 1982 movie The King of Comedy,
00:56which starred De Niro as an aspiring stand-up who idolizes a talk show host.
01:00In Joker, De Niro plays a talk show host and stand-up whom Arthur looks up to.
01:04One small thing.
01:05Yeah.
01:06When you bring me out, can you introduce me as Joker?
01:10Joker, directed by Todd Phillips, hits theaters on October 4th.
01:14To check out the full trailer, head to THR.com.
01:16Until next time, for The Hollywood Reporter News, I'm Tiffany Taylor.
