New BTS Footage, Pics Show Joaquin Phoenix Take A Header, Stalk Zazie Beetz While Filming ‘Joker’

Last week we got a REALLY good look at Joaquin Phoenix in one of his Joker outfits while filming in Newark. The videos and pics showed Phoenix in a full-blown clown costume.

Prior to that we saw him looking like a like a mashup of Heath Ledger, Cesar Romero and Jack Nicholson’s version of The Clown Prince of Crime.

And now, we get another look, and a much better one, of Joaquin Phoenix in his civilian clothes as Arthur Fleck as he gives chase after someone before wiping out hard on the sidewalk.

Further along in the footage we also see Phoenix sneakily following his co-star Zazie Beetz, who plays Sophie Dumond, Arthur’s love interest.

I wonder if this is what actors mean when they say they do “most” of their own stunts?

Also, over the weekend, the first look at Brett Cullen as Thomas Wayne (Bruce’s dad) hit the web. In the film, Wayne is reportedly running for mayor of Gotham.

Joker is scheduled to be released on October 4, 2019
