JOKER & HARLEY QUINN Movie Writers Tease Their Script

Right now Warner Bros. is focused on filming director Todd Phillips' JOKER movie with actor Joaquin Phoenix. Meanwhile, screenwriters Glenn Ficarra and John Requa have handed in their script for their JOKER & HARLEY QUINN movie and teased it a little bit to Metro.

“It is great,” Ficarra explained. “The whole thing starts with Harley kidnapping Dr Phil. Played by Dr Phil hopefully. Because her and the Joker are having problems with their relationship.”

“We had so much fun, I don’t know if we have had more fun writing a script in our career.”

“It was sort of like, we wrote ‘Bad Santa’ a couple of years ago, and it was that sensibility mixed with our ‘This Is Us’ sensibility. We kind of meshed them together.

“We were doing a relationship movie but with the sensibility of a 'Bad Santa,' f***ed up, mentally deranged people. It was a lot of fun.”

However, don't expect this spin-off just yet.

“We handed the script in and everybody loved it,” added Ficarra. “But I don’t know when they are going to do it.”

“Because I know that they want to do ‘Birds Of Prey’ and they want to do Todd’s ‘Joker’ film first. Maybe if ‘Birds Of Prey’ goes well ours will be next.”

If/when green lit, the JOKER & HARLEY QUINN movie would feature Jared Leto and Margot Robbie reprising their roles from SUICIDE SQUAD.
