Joaquin Phoenix lost 30 pounds for the role, and we had to keep up. Every single time he came in for a fitting, he was smaller. They gave us a wild vision, a three-piece suit where absolutely nothing matched, using four different shades of orange and red. Cinema is carved out frame by frame, and inch by inch, right here in Brooklyn. When Joaquin Phoenix put on that prototype jacket, something shifted, he completely became the character right there in the room. Interestingly, we weren't even happy with how the lapel shape turned out at first, but the moment he looked at it, he loved it. #Joker #JoaquinPhoenix #MarkBridges #CostumeDesign
