Joker: Folie á Deux is nearly finished with post-production, accorting to cinematographer Lawrence Sher.
In a recent interview with Definition Magazine, Sher provided an update on Todd Phillips‘ Joker: Folie á Deux, which is scheduled to be released in October 2024 from Warner Bros. Pictures. “Something I appreciate about Todd Phillips — who I’ve done seven movies with, including Joker — is that he’s always taking risks,” Sher said. “We’ve got the new Joker coming out next year and we’re just finishing up post-production on it. This movie is a big swing and it’s going to be really surprising to people. I’m so excited for everyone to see it.”
