Fury-regissören David Ayers kommande filmadaption av DC Comics-serien Suicide Squad ser bättre och bättre ut för varje gång som de visar upp sig i form av en TV-spot eller ny trailer. Bäst i hela filmen ser den nya versionen av Batman-skurken Jokern ut att vara, spelad av Oscars-vinnaren och 30 Seconds to Mars-frontmannen Jared Leto (Dallas Buyer's Club, Fight Cub). Amerikanska Entertainment Weekly satte sig ned med Leto efter avslutad inspelning och pratade lite om hur han ser på Jokern som karaktär och vad han anser om sin egen insats:
"The work that's been done on this character by so many people before me has been so impactful, so incredible, so much fun, so profound, so risky, that it's a very special thing to be asked to take on that responsibility. You just knew you had to do something different. You had to make it your own.
That happens all the time. Whether you're a composer working on a piece of music that was written a century ago, or you're an actor on stage, reinterpreting a play, it's very common these days. Directors take on great works of cinema, actors reinterpret roles, that's been going on for a great deal of time. From Scarface to Hamlet. In some ways it's really interesting to reinterpret, redefine.
It a weighty thing to do. But it's exciting. The Joker is one of those roles. He was written brilliantly when he was first shared with the world 75 years ago, or something crazy like that. And I think I'm just really grateful I had the opportunity." Länk
Tror du att Leto kan toppa Ledgers Joker från Nolan-rullen The Dark Knight?
