Joker Director Reveals How the Score Changed That One Key Scene

Spoilers for Joker below:

It turns out that one key scene from Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker movie was basically filmed in the spur of the moment, with the help of some new music from the film’s composer.

In Joker, following a pivotal scene that alters the course of Arthur Fleck’s life, Fleck flees to a grungy park restroom where he attempts to collect his thoughts. In an interview with Screenplayed, director Todd Phillips says that the original script for this scene showed Fleck hiding his gun, washing off his makeup, and staring at himself in the mirror while reflecting on what he’s just done.

Why (and How) 1917 Was Made With Just One Shot

The long take has a, ahem, long history in cinema. Some of the most celebrated long takes -- a continuous shot that goes uninterrupted and without edits -- can be seen in films like Stanley Kubrick’s Paths of Glory, Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas, and Alfonso Cuaron’s Children of Men, to name just a few. But the ultimate version of the long take comes when a filmmaker chooses to tell their entire movie in one unbroken shot. And that’s exactly what director Sam Mendes (Skyfall, Road to Perdition) and cinematographer Roger Deakins (Skyfall, The Shawshank Redemption) are working on for their upcoming World War I drama 1917.

The Oscar-winning filmmakers attended a panel at New York Comic Con last week to discuss their approach to 1917, which takes place over the course of about two hours in real time as two British soldiers (George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman) must travel across a dangerous landscape to help save some 1600 of their fellow soldiers.

Death Stranding: Putting Gameplay, Story, and Setting Together

The more you try to dive into the complex universe of Death Stranding, the more questions keep popping up. It’s no wonder: this is a Hideo Kojima game, after all.

While there’s still a lot that we don’t fully understand, we’ve been able to piece together from what’s been shown so far a pretty good picture about what Death Stranding actually is — let’s dive in.

The World of Death Stranding

Death Stranding takes place in the “United Cities of America,” a future version of the United States, that appears to be on the verge of collapse. A series of mysterious explosions, which Sam references as an unexplained global disaster akin in scale to the original Big Bang that created the universe, have rocked the planet, causing “supernatural events” to dramatically change the geography of the Earth. With legions of these supernatural monsters roaming the country, humanity faces its own extinction.
