Editors' Picks: Our Favorite Things From the Week of August 205 of 12
Origin Story Announcement of the Week
With all the successful superhero origin stories sprouting up for movie fans, we were wondering when a supervillain's background would finally be explored. Looks like we won't have to wait much longer as Warner Bros. and DC announced they would be digging into the origins of the iconic Joker. Todd Phillips, director of The Hangover franchise will direct and co-write the gritty '80s-era Gotham tale with screenwriter Scott Silver (The Fighter, 8 Mile). With Martin Scorsese coming on as a producer, we're super excited to hear more, especially who will be cast to play Jack Napier, the man who becomes the Joker.
