Her On OTT
Joaquin Phoenix is the man of the hour as the DC Elseworlds projects are making all the buzz. As we tune into The Penguin to witness the first episode of the show on streaming, it’s also a reminder that we are less than a fortnight away from the release of Joker: Folie à Deux aka Joker 2. Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, this film is one of the most anticipated of the year and the only DC big-screen release for 2024. You can imagine the excitement the film is generating.
In India, a movie is tapping into this exact excitement with the re-release of one of Joaquin Phoenix’s most acclaimed films, which also boasts an Oscar. Yes, we are talking about Her which is set to have a second run on the Indian streaming space.
Her is a sci-fi human drama where a man named Theodore, lonely and craving connection, forms a bond with an operating system (OS) that responds to him and obeys his commands. As their conversation deepens, Theodore falls in love with the OS, voiced by Scarlett Johansson, without realizing that it can never fully enter his life as a human. Her is one of the most beloved Joaquin Phoenix movies and is now coming to Lionsgate Play.
Lionsgate Play has released some of the most intriguing movies in the last two months. The streamer has brought us Room Logan Lucky, The Arcadian, Replicas, Adrift, and The Iron Law. Before that, there was Dream Scenario, Copshop, BME, American Hustle, and much more, all featuring big stars and potent content. Her now joins this list and is set to release on the streaming platform.
