I wouldn’t say just a remake of The King of Comedy. I’d say that was the main film that it centered around, but there was a lot of other Scorsese of that era in there. Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, etc.

I could see Folie á Deux moving forward to the next era of Scorsese films like New York, New York, but I hope not because that would be less interesting to me. I think it would be neat to use the sequel to explore a different, but similar, director like Sam Fuller

Todd Phillips is not exactly an amazing filmmaker. Joker was his first film that I would say was elevated above the mundane.
