“Now you must journey inside yourself…” It’s here! Finally! Altered Innocence has revealed the official trailer for a controversial, revolutionary, one-of-a-kind film called The People’s Joker. This premiered at the 2022 Toronto Film Festival a few years ago and after earning tons of buzz at the fest, Warner Bros and DC tried to shut it down and stop anyone from watching it (due to copyright claims). But they beat the system! Now it’s finally getting a proper theatrical release this April. An aspiring clown grappling with her gender identity combats a fascistic caped crusader. The People’s Joker is a trans twist on DC’s characters, starring Vera Drew as a new clown of mayhem called Joker the Harlequin. Vats of feminizing chemicals, sexy cartoon interludes, scarecrow psychiatrists, CGI Lorne Michaels, and psychedelic gender dysphoria all play supporting roles. Made by Vera Drew and using her own life experiences as a basis for the film, The People’s Joker is a deeply personal journey that’s as much documentary as it is parody. Also starring Lynn Downey, Nathan Faustyn, and Kane Distler as Mister J; cameos from Tim Heidecker, Bob Odenkirk, Maria Bamford, Scott Aukerman. Looks like it might be brilliant! Lots of super bonkers footage! Have fun. // Continue Reading ›
