Aurora shooting victims speak out against 'Joker' in letter to Warner Bros.
The release of Todd Phillips's highly anticipated film Joker is less than two weeks away, but there's one theater that won't be showing the director's dark take on the Batman villain: the Century Aurora and XD.
"We are calling on you to be a part of the growing chorus of corporate leaders who understand that they have a social responsibility to keep us all safe," reads a portion of the letter, which was shared with THR. The letter is addressed to new Warner Bros. CEO Ann Sarnoff and does not ask the studio to halt release or promotion of the film.
Someone who has seen the film confirms to Yahoo Entertainment the violence is more"realistic and not over-the-top blood and gore." While there are a couple of scenes of overt gun-violence,"the bulk of the movie isn’t necessarily violent, but very grim and in terms of the content and character backstory." That's why star Joaquin Phoenix is already generating major awards buzz.
Phillips added,"The movie makes statements about a lack of love, childhood trauma, lack of compassion in the world. I think people can handle that message... It's so, to me, bizarre when people say, ‘Oh, well I could handle it. But imagine if you can't.
