Bedford Park Boulevard has gone Hollywood, shooting the upcoming “Joker” film!
An Instagram post by fromtheBronx, crediting TMZ, shows extras at the Bedford Park Boulevard B/D station awaiting a subway to pull in. Suddenly extras flee as a purple-suit clad Joker, played by Oscar-winner Joaquin Phoenix, emerges from subway, walking towards the film crew.
The solo adventure on Batman’s arch-nemesis will be released in 2019. It’s unclear what the story is about, though there are indications it will trace the Joker’s origins.
Coincidentally, the concept of Batman was created at Poe Park, mere blocks from the shooting locale, with co-creators Bob Kane and Blil Finger hammering out the essence of Batman in the 1920s.
This isn’t the first time a Batman-related filming in the Bronx. Several times, creators from the show “Gotham,” which traces the early years of Batman ally Commissioner Jim Gordon, have been shot outside Bronx Borough Hall.
