00:11Ahead 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
00:26character on Wednesday. The movie, set in 1981, centers on Arthur Fleck, a.k.a. Joker,
00:31a clown who dreams of becoming a stand-up comedian.
00:44The trailer also gives us a look at Phoenix's co-stars Robert De Niro, Deadpool 2 actress
00:49Sazie Beetz, and Glow's Marc Maron. The film has drawn comparisons to Martin Scorsese's 1982 movie
00:55The King of Comedy, which starred De Niro as an aspiring stand-up who idolizes a talk-show
00:59host. In Joker, De Niro plays a talk-show host and stand-up whom Arthur looks up to.
