00:00.080 --> 00:00.913
<v Reporter>It's already looking like</v>
2
00:00.913 --> 00:02.470
it's going to be a strong opening weekend
3
00:02.470 --> 00:03.873
for Joaquin Phoenix's "Joker",
4
00:03.873 --> 00:07.610
but the film's violent nature is also sparking major
5
00:07.610 --> 00:09.515
security concerns nationwide.
6
00:09.515 --> 00:11.550
<v Joker>Is it just me</v>
7
00:11.550 --> 00:13.810
or is it getting crazier out there?
8
00:13.810 --> 00:14.643
<v Reporter>The film has</v>
9
00:14.643 --> 00:16.676
Phoenix playing a failed comedian,
10
00:16.676 --> 00:19.220
who goes on a killing spree.
11
00:19.220 --> 00:20.760
And now, after online threats were
12
00:20.760 --> 00:21.970
posted on social media,
13
00:21.970 --> 00:25.914
the FBI is urging local law enforcement to be on alert.
14
00:25.914 --> 00:26.880
<v ->What.</v>
15
00:26.880 --> 00:28.823
<v Reporter>Expect beefed up security at theaters,</v>
16
00:28.823 --> 00:31.560 line:15%
many of which are banning costumes.
17
00:31.560 --> 00:32.489
<v ->What's so funny?</v>
18
00:32.489 --> 00:34.900
<v ->I thought that it was going to be</v>
19
00:34.900 --> 00:36.698
challenging for me as an actor.
20
00:36.698 --> 00:38.010
I thought it was going to be challenging
21
00:38.010 --> 00:38.980
for the audience.
22
00:38.980 --> 00:40.610
<v Reporter>Playing the creepy clown is something that</v>
23
00:40.610 --> 00:43.050
Joaquin actually embraced from the beginning.
24
00:43.050 --> 00:46.030
Starting with losing 52 pounds.
25
00:46.030 --> 00:48.090
<v ->It was something that I'd done before,</v>
26
00:48.090 --> 00:50.297
and I swore when I did before that I'd never do it again.
27
00:50.297 --> 00:52.727
But it seemed like it was really important
28
00:52.727 --> 00:55.259
for the character, and I think it ended up
29
00:55.259 --> 01:00.259
effecting me in ways that I hadn't anticipated.
30
01:00.460 --> 01:01.360
And it certainly,
31
01:01.360 --> 01:03.159
it affects your emotional, mental state.
32
01:03.159 --> 01:04.860
(sinister laughing)
33
01:04.860 --> 01:05.693
<v Reporter>As for that laugh,</v>
34
01:05.693 --> 01:08.482
we've heard that from every Joker on screen.
35
01:08.482 --> 01:11.482
(sinister laughing)
36
01:15.240 --> 01:16.700
<v ->But at some point,</v>
37
01:16.700 --> 01:19.530
it would become easier, but I don't think it did.
38
01:19.530 --> 01:21.063
I think it became more difficult, actually.
39
01:21.063 --> 01:22.590
<v ->You don't listen, do you?</v>
40
01:22.590 --> 01:24.650
Are you having any negative thoughts?
41
01:24.650 --> 01:27.760
All I have are negative thoughts.
42
01:27.760 --> 01:29.010 line:15%
<v ->Do you feel like you would</v>
43
01:29.010 --> 01:30.293
want to play Joker again?
44
01:31.135 --> 01:34.135
(sinister laughing)
45
01:37.531 --> 01:40.114 line:15%
(upbeat music)
