Oliver Scholl (born 1964) is a German production designer. Born in Stuttgart, Germany, he studied industrial design at the Hochschule Pforzheim and, during his student years, began illustrating for the German science-fiction series Perry Rhodan. After this early work, he moved into motion picture design, aided by early development work for the Stargate project (1994) for director Roland Emmerich, which helped him transition into film production.

Scholl relocated to Los Angeles in 1991 and made his American production-design debut on Moon 44 (1990) and then Independence Day (1996). His career has since spanned large-scale Hollywood features, especially in the science-fiction and action genres, working on films such as Godzilla (1998), The Time Machine (2002), Jumper (2008), The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015), Suicide Squad (2016), Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), and Venom (2018). He has also worked on the series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew (2024), for which he served as a production designer, alongside Lucasfilm’s Doug Chiang.

Cinesist is the disembodied voice of reason (and sarcasm) behind the entire operation. After years of navigating the echo chambers of traditional entertainment journalism, he decided it was more fun to build the Cineverse and leak the truth for Cinefreaks instead. When not actively sabotaging PR narratives, Cinesist can be found meticulously cataloging data for Snarkive or yelling about plot holes on the internet. Mission: Hollywood, Declassified!
