 I'm Rick, and you can follow us on Instagram and Twitter to see some content. It's so cheesy. You see that? They even posted some pageant and published an official Twitter account. And today we are doing something a little different. We're going to have almost a little conversation. The new Joker film trailer just came out. And you know what? And just like Game of Thrones, I'm going to put a Starbucks cup in this frame. And if you haven't seen our trailer reaction, it's on our 2.0 channel. It's in the description below because the new trailer came out. And that's where all of our American trailers are going. So please go over there. But I had this conversation on Twitter. And I thought it would be an interesting video. Because I've had this conversation multiple times about different types of films. If the Joker film was made in India. Who would direct it? And who would star as the Joker? I just wanted to see if we could have a little video just talking about it. Because I think it's interesting. I've talked about it on Twitter sometimes. I think I did it with Harry Potter, I think. And I said who would be cast in all the roles. That would be a fun one to talk about. Since this one has a lot of roles. The most current and it's also a very challenging role. And this is really the first role every year here in the States. And you probably know this. There's always buzz about one particular performance as we approach Oscar season. And this is it. Gary Oldman was it for Darkest Hour. Daniel Day-Lewis was it for Lincoln. Meryl Streep's been it every year of her life. That's true. And so this is right now there's a lot of buzz. Because some of the initial people have seen some things. And word is getting out on the street. That this is off the charts. I think there's only one person I could think of in India that I would want to direct this film for show. That's what it does. I need that film to be gritty. It would need to be gritty. And he's shown that that's what he loves to do. Artistic and I'm sure this is guys remember. We're still babies in this regard. Yes, of course. I very well may have changed my thought and be going like this. If I had seen enough of Satya Jigre's stuff. Because we haven't seen any of his stuff. But also he's not around. Exactly. But we could at least say if he were alive. We know his work well enough. But we just don't know his work. But of the directors we've seen and whose work we've seen. 100% it would be. Or I mean I guess it could be. I forget his name. But the director from Gangs of Wasapur. He's also very gritty style. Gritty raw. Gritty raw. He's very similar to Scorsese. And Scorsese very much. Scorsese looked up to a lot of them. And all that kind of stuff. So since this is actually like an homage to Scorsese as well. This film that they're doing. That could be an option. But I would personally want Vishal. Just because I love his work. Me too. And it would have to be gritty, raw, weird, edgy. And I think Vishal. I mean Utsev and Kumar. He brought some of that out. He's proven by his directing style. That he wants to convey artistry and story. And fight for that and a vision. Way more than he's interested in say a visual aesthetic. Yeah. He's willing to let stuff look ugly and nasty. Just because he wants that point of view. And Joker needs to be that. That's true. Yeah. I would agree. And so that and then for the star. As the Joker. And there's quite a few I can think of. Me too. But there's one in my mind immediately that I'm like, this is who I think could do it. Is it Nawaz? It's Nawaz. That's obviously the first one that came to my mind. Of course. And because he's weird now. And he can get that strangeness that you need to play the character. And I think go to levels he would need to to capture that character. Then the subtleties. You need to be able to commit to this role. Right. That's a lifetime role. Yeah. But so that would be my first. And I agree. And there's others that I think could do it. I don't know that it would be my first Shahid and Ranveer come to mind. I mean I get. I was about to say that I think they might be too pretty. But he's very pretty. Yeah. You know what it is about Nawaz that he's had. And also Joaquin has. Nawaz can convey the vulnerability that the Joker needs to have. It's true. There's a point of for being who they are that most people at face value see the Joker as a psychotic sociopath. For me and what he brought to it was there's a level of vulnerability to the character. And Joaquin will do this even more. Oh yeah. Even more. 100%. That's the way that believably. So he's really. I mean I'm sure there are other ones that you guys would be saying. But the first prominent one in my mind is Nawaz. Yeah. And then like I said Ranveer and Shahid I think could definitely do it. Because they would be similar to like when Heath was cast as the Joker. No one thought it was a good idea. It was not a single person on the planet that thought it was a good idea. My initial reaction and respecting Heath as a solid actor. I did not know the depth of the guy as an actor. And my thought was Heath Ledger is a Joker. Yeah. There was not a person that thought he could do it. There was so much backlash. And then obviously he shut everybody else away. Exactly. Greatest Joker of all time. One of the greatest performances of all time. But there's huge very interesting one that I thought of. This gentleman. He has the. I got one in my mind too. And made the same one. He has the temperament to do it. And it would be an entirely huge stretch for him. Oh then if maybe not. But I think he could do it. I have one and I'm. And I think. I don't think it's the same person because you said it would be a huge stretch. But go ahead. You're a fun con. Think about that. That's a very cool proposition. Think about that. Because his temperament is great. Because he already he already almost looks depressed a lot of the times. He's like he. Yeah. And he's not of course. And you're fun. You're fun is a great choice. But he has the temperament and the style and the almost nonchalantness. The where I would think would be a stretch is I've never seen him do a performance anywhere near something like this. It's like they have Noir. Noir. The closest he's come was McBool. But I think he's a good enough actor that he could do it and make it his own. Yeah. He could make it his own. But when I thought about it. Why is my brain dying? Come on. No. Newton. Oh. Oh. Rajkumar Rao. Rajkumar Rao. That was the one I was just thinking of. I could imagine him. Those would probably be my top three. I don't know which position I would put them at. I mean it would probably be Rajkumar and Noir's one, two. Just because I know they could do it. Irfan would be three for me just because I think it would be so interesting. I think you bring something totally different that the other two probably couldn't bring. 100%. And those other two are known shapeshifters. Right. Rajkumar Rao and Newton. They're known shapeshifters. Irfan is a fantastic actor. I mean the most different I've seen him was in McBool. And of course we're new and we haven't seen him in a ton, of course. Exactly. But I think he has the capability to be able to go to those places if he was given the opportunity. 100%. 100%. I know Noir's and Rajkumar could do it. Yeah. 100% no. I think this one would be a little bit of a stretch but I think he could do it. I agree with you. Shahid could do it. Oh yeah. 100% Shahid could do it. It'd be interesting to see where Shahid would take it. Yeah. Because I would hope Shahid would take it to places where he has never gone before. You saw some of the characteristics that you need in Header. In Header. Yeah. Because in Header the whole thing with Hamlet is is he mentally ill or is he not mentally ill? Is he feigning mental illness or is he really going crazy? And Shakespeare didn't really make that clear. So it's up to the actor to determine how far he wants to take that. And so they are a good call. And you know who else I think would be quite interesting and she's female. She could play the Joker. Yeah. That's, in all sincerity that needs to be the next incarnation of the Joker. That would be interesting. The next incarnation of the Joker needs to be a woman. But I would love to see that. It's Sarah. Oh yeah. From Queen. Yeah. Sarah name? Kangana. Is it Renault? I don't know. I don't know what it is. Also I think she could 100% do it. And we've seen very little of her but I know her reputation and I've seen some of her trailers. Yeah you know who else I think could do it? Kalki. Kalki could definitely do it. Yeah. She could be a very good female Joker. And Priyanka. I thought it would be the third. She would need to do a lot in order to get to it. You know who I would, to break down the barriers because she is Priyanka. Yes. And so you would need to be able to break down that barrier so people don't see Priyanka. Correct. That's the biggest issue with big stars. I would, you know who else, I would love to, like if they said this person is going to play the Joker, my insides would go freak yes. Topeka. For the same reason. Because they would be, so many people would immediately think oh but they're so pretty and that's precisely why they could play the Joker. Those two are definitely, those two are kind of similar to Ranveer and Shahid for me. Yeah. I think Kalki and Kajina. Yeah. Well, I think they could 100% do it. Kind of like Nawaz and Rajkumar Rao. Yeah. I think they, 100%, I mean if they did those are the obvious choices. If they did the Joker and Harley Quinn, 100%, it's like the pairing of like Rajkumar and Newton. Yeah. But I would say, you know, for the pure, like just another incarnation comparable to what they've done with Joaquin, I would like, I like the direction they went with Joaquin because you knew when you got Joaquin as the Joker, you were going to get something first of all extraordinarily good. Yeah. Because the man is a truly Oscar level gifted actor. You need an Oscar level actor. You need an Oscar level actor who has a lot of experience. Yeah. Second, you knew you were going to get somebody who could convey the combination of the vulnerability and the sociopath. Because he showed you a little bit of that in Gladiator. Oh yeah? But he's shown it in a lot of films. And most of his films. Most of his films are an outcast who's a little bit sweet hearted but can also then turn right around and rip out your intestines and eat them. Yeah. And he's also that weird, one of the things I love about Joaquin Phoenix is he reminds me a lot of Shia LaBeouf and that he will take his artistry and make a part of his life. Like you remember one of my, he went through this thing with his beard and he went on Letterman and it was this whole, it's almost a Sasha Baron colonish where life is art and you don't know the line. Love that about him. Yeah. But I 100% think that, I mean the interesting choice to me I think would be, the most interesting would be outside of a female of course, Irfan. He'd be, he'd be 100% interested to see where he took it. Yeah. The ones I know could 100% do would be Rajkumar. They're the first noob. Joaquin, that's just who I think they'll get done. If you don't want to think about it at all, just one of those two. Boy. If you want a little riskier, go Irfan. Yeah. 100% all of them could do it, but these two females could do it as well. So that's just interesting. I just wanted to talk about this. I don't know if you've joined this. I would love to see, I think you'd be amazing at it. She would be my favorite choice to see a woman play the Joker. Yeah. She, and then also I think Kojina Ruck could do it because she's amazing as well. But if, I mean either of them could play Harley Quinn amazingly. But even the Joker, because I don't know, I don't know if you ever saw it, but I'm not there with... No, I wanted to so badly. Of course she could do it because she's one of the most amazing actresses of all time, but what's her face? Blanchett. Thank you. Kate Blanchett played Bob Dylan, and it was the creepiest thing ever because it looked like Bob and sounded like Bob Dylan. Yeah. It was one of the most amazing performances. I think she won an Oscar. If not, she should have. No, she was nominated for everything. She was nominated for a SAG Globe and an Oscar. I don't think she won that year. But anyways, anyway. So I have no problem, especially since the Joker has no origin story, so you can kind of do whatever the hell you want with it. Beautiful. But yeah, I don't know if you enjoyed this, but I just wanted to do it. If you did, let us know what other films you should do, like out of the Harry Potter, Star Wars, whatever. I like talking about this kind of stuff, just nerding out on it. Well, and especially since we know there are Hollywood films coming up soon, Amir Khan is going to do Forrest Gump. And that's a question we could have if you were going to redo Forrest Gump. He's the only one I would cast it on. He's perfect for that. Yeah, so we love this. I love this.
