2019-09-29 | 'Joker' Had Noticeably Quiet Hollywood Premiere With Lots Of Security

'One tack: As per Deadline, Joker’s big, swanky Los Angeles premiere on Saturday was a relatively low-key event, heavy on security. '

'At least one person tried to find humor among the tension: Director Todd Phillips came out before the screening began to joke that his latest film hasn’t been getting much press lately, imploring the audience to please spread the word. '

'The premiere, held at the TLC Chinese Theatre, saw no incidents, with Deadline saying that despite the amped-up security — including on each floor of the theater’s parking garage — it turned out to be “your basic, run-of-the-mill Hollywood premiere.” One noted absence: The press, with the “green” carpet regulated to photographers only. '

'Joker doesn’t hit theaters until Friday, but in the last week there’s been very public fear that DC’s latest movie — a stand-alone spin-off that offers an original origin story for Batman’s most popular villain — might inspire real-life violence, perhaps even at theaters that show it. '

'In the wake of this controversy, which has been fueled in part by a group letter from the families of people murdered in the 2012 Aurora massacre, Warner Bros. has taken some steps to ensure safety around their film. '
