‘The People’s Joker’ Trailer: The Joker Is Real And She Is Trans
Vera Drew’s The People’s Joker finally has an official trailer! And thanks to Altered Innocence, Drew’s satirical superhero coming-of-age tale is coming to theaters! Soon, you too can experience this one-of-a-kind cinema experience that caused a splash after its premiere in 2022.
Read the full synopsis below:
In the absurdist autobiographically-inspired dark comedy that boldly reimagines the Joker’s origin, a painfully unfunny aspiring clown (Vera Drew as Joker the Harlequin) grapples with her gender identity while unsuccessfully attempting to join the ranks of Gotham City’s sole comedy program in a world where comedy has been outlawed. Uniting with a ragtag team of rejects and misfits, Joker the Harlequin forms an illegal anti-comedy troupe that puts her on a collision course with the devious caped crusader controlling the city.
Watch the colorful and incredible trailer:
Vera Drew, Lynn Downey, Nathan Faustyn, and Kane Distler star in The People’s Joker. The film also features cameos from Tim Heidecker, Bob Odenkirk, Maria Bamford, and Scott Aukerman. Drew directed the film from a script she co-wrote with close creative collaborator Bri LeRose.
Shot entirely on green screen, the work of over 200 independent, predominantly queer creators —artists, musicians, and animators— elevates the instantaneously illustrious feature beyond genre pastiche to an overflowing richness of mixed-media visuals across 2D, 3D, stop-motion, and more forms of animation.
