    Taxi Driver and the King of Comedy are a great films and as such don't need to be re-made, certainly not as a Joker movie.

        Scorcese producing it makes much more sense now.

        It's fan service. Comic fans get 8 trillion movies set in the MCU. Tolkien fans get 8 trillion movies set in Middle Earth. Potter fans get 8 trillion movies set in the wizard universe. New Hollywood fans deserve ONE movie set in the 70s dystopian antihero universe. Just one

        I see more of a 70's - 80's #horror movie vibe in @jokermovie (Basket Case, Street Trash).

        I disagree, it's straight Scorsese with some French Connection and Death Wish thrown in BUT I appreciate any reference to Street Trash

        Everyone remembers Taxi Driver, but no one seems to recall King of Comedy. But I see them as an interesting retelling of the same story: One through a dark, horror-tinged lens, the other through (dark) comedy. Not sure how many such pairs of films there are.
