The pairing of Scorsese and Fisk is notable, given that the production designer is a frequent collaborator of David Lynch, Terrence Malick, and Paul Thomas Anderson. Fisk has earned two Oscar nominations for Best Production Design, the first for Anderson’s “There Will Be Blood” and the second for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s “The Revenant.” Other Fisk projects include “Badlands,” “The Thin Red Line,” “Mulholland Drive,” “The New World,” “The Tree of Life,” “The Master,” and “To the Wonder,” among other titles....

After co-founding Neon four years ago, Quinn led the company to become one of the most ambitious new distribution entities in the U.S., finding unique commercial opportunities for edgy genre fare, documentaries, and international cinema. Those efforts culminated last year in the historic Best Picture Oscar win for Bong Joon Ho’s “Parasite,” the first time in history that a non-English language film took the top prize. Other Neon success stories include “I, Tonya,” “Portrait of a Lady on Fire,” and “Honeyland,” which also made history last year as the first non-fiction film to score nominations for both Best Documentary and Best International Film....

“I would like to make it clear that the news of me making a film (documentary or fiction narrative) about OnlyFans and using Bella Thorne as research is false. I’m NOT attached to this project. I’m actually in development on two features that I’ve put years of research and love in to and neither of these films have anything to do with Ms. Thorne or OnlyFans,” Baker said. Baker also said that, while he did discuss possibly working with Thorne on a project, he encouraged her to reflect on how her account on the subscription-based service might be negatively affecting the sex-work industry....

Watch the cold open from Saturday’s episode of “SNL” below. “Greetings America. It’s a spooky time filled with demons and darkness. Also, it’s Halloween,” Carrey’s Biden says. “For some Trump voters, it’s the only day they’ll wear a mask. Like my decorations? I stole them from Melania’s Christmas display. Which reminds me, there’s another holiday right around the corner: Election Day. If you’re like most Americans, you’re excited to vote — and very, very worried about the outcome....

An investigative piece by Rolling Stone reveals that WarnerMedia commissioned two reports surrounding the #SnyderCut of “Justice League” indicating that “at least 13 percent of the accounts that took part in the conversation about the Snyder Cut were deemed fake, well above the three to five percent that cyber experts say they typically see on any trending topic.” Per the report, WarnerMedia hired two social-media tracking companies, Q5id and Graphika, as part of a third-party investigation that ultimately found there was a lot of “negative activity created by both real and fake authors” behind hashtags #ReleaseTheSnyderCut and #RestoreTheSnyderVerse....

It’s also historic: As the first entry in the Pixar canon to center on a Black character, this magical crowdpleaser has obvious representational value, so it’s especially gratifying to see how well it epitomizes the proverbial Pixar touch. Director Pete Docter (who became Pixar’s creative director in the years since “Inside Out”) knows the studio’s song sheet better than anyone and he plays well-versed tunes like a master, refashioning the best of their ingredients into a profound existential look at dream-fulfillment and emotional disconnection....

“Star Wars: The Bad Batch” follows the elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch (first introduced in “The Clone Wars”) as they find their way in a rapidly changing galaxy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War. Members of Bad Batch — a unique squad of clones who vary genetically from their brothers in the Clone Army — each possess a singular exceptional skill that makes them extraordinarily effective soldiers and a formidable crew....
