Don’t expect an extended Director’s Cut of Joker or deleted scenes on the eventual Blu-ray/DVD release, because Todd Phillips detests them. He didn’t mince words in a recent interview with our friends at Collider:
“I hate fucking extended cuts. I hate deleted scenes… They’re deleted for a reason. The movie that exists is exactly the movie I want it to be and I will never show a deleted scene.”

Joker is still playing in theaters nationwide. Check out the film’s synopsis and trailer below.
Synopsis:
Failed comedian Arthur Fleck encounters violent thugs while wandering the streets of Gotham City dressed as a clown. Disregarded by society, Fleck begins a slow descent into madness as he transforms into the criminal mastermind known as the Joker.
Joker stars Joaquin Phoenix, Robert De Niro, and Zazie Beetz.
