In just under a month, Joker: Folie à Deux will introduce movie fans to Lady Gaga’s incarnation of Harley Quinn opposite Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck/Joker. While Gaga is a veteran musician and singer, this is only her third major film in a leading role. But Gaga got an unexpected education in collaborative filmmaking from Phoenix when they rewrote lines from the script during production.
“We’d very often meet in Joaquin’s trailer and sometimes we would just tear the script up and start all over,” Gaga told Vogue. “It was a really cool, liberating process.” Director and screenwriter Todd Phillips confirmed Gaga’s account and gave an example of how their process worked.

The natural disaster movie Twisters debuted in theaters this past weekend, and it had a great start. The movie stormed up $80.5 million in North America alone, which gives Twisters the biggest opening-weekend box office results for a natural disaster movie in the history of movies, not adjusted for inflation.
The previous record-holder was Rolan Emmerich’s The Day After Tomorrow, which opened with $68.44 million back in 2004.
