Below, check out the best moments from IndieWire’s night on the town. Kaitlyn Dever Dishes If ‘Dopesick’ Will Land a Second Season The “Dopesick” Emmy nominee noted that author Beth Macy’s follow-up book “Raising Lazarus” could provide context for a second season of the Hulu series, which landed lead actor Michael Keaton his first Emmy win. “Beth Macy who wrote ‘Dopesick,’ she’s also writing a new book, titled ‘Raising Lazarus’ and it talks about what we do now moving forward,” Dever said....

Launched Tuesday morning, the petition calling for 15,000 signatures reads, “With the recent scandals plaguing Ellen Degeneres [sic], we the people of the world hereby nominate and elect Eric Andre to become the new permanent host of The Ellen Show. Fans have been lining up outside of NBC Studios, Adult Swim, The White House, and for some reason my house too….all chanting: ‘Get Eric Andre to replace Ellen, keep show format the same....

It’s a strange pickle, to be sure. The film’s greatest strength — that it tackles a culturally specific storyline with care and respect, never falling into cheap tropes — is also what keeps it from being genuinely scary.

The playful bit of dialogue hinted that Bond and Raoul Silva had sexual encounters with men in the past, which is apparently not something the studio wanted in the finished movie. As Bond producer Barbara Broccoli revealed in the new Apple TV+ documentary “Becoming James Bond” (via NME), “I remember we were told to cut that line by the studio.

While Leto had his first go-around as Joker in David Ayer’s “Suicide Squad,” his look as the infamous Batman villain for the Snyder Cut is vastly different. Gone are the tattoos that defined Joker in “Suicide Squad.” Snyder’s Joker is seen with longer hair and wearing a hospital gown and a surgical mask....

The drama is centered on a Scottish woman who, after hearing a strange banging sound at daybreak, begins to experience a bizarre sensory syndrome while she’s traveling through the jungles of Colombia. Weerasethakul has remained comfortably outside of any studio system, making the films he wants to make, from the beautiful and beguiling queer love story “Tropical Malady” to the Cannes Palme d’Or-winning folk tale “Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives....

“I feel like someone handed me a ticking time-bomb because they wanted to make sure a woman was holding it when it explodes,” says Dr. Ji-Yoon Kim, played by the exhilarating Sandra Oh, in a moment of well-earned frustration about halfway through the Netflix limited series. The newly appointed chair of her university’s English department, Ji-Yoon is asked to tackle problem after problem at a dizzying pace. Some are institutional, ironed out only via a delicate balance of polite schmoozing and steadfast resolve....
