If we can’t get Greig Fraser back…

[Sawyer]

Then who y’all want to shoot this thing?

 

[Sawyer]

IMO Jarin Blaschke might be worth discussing…

The porn guy that worked with Nolan?

 

[Stringer]

Deakins

I'd happily drop Fraser for Sayombhu Mukdeeprom or (if he's not retired which he sadly seems to be) Michael Seresin. The idea of a total reworking of how these movies look is super exciting to me - which isn't a slam on The Batman, a gorgeous movie, but I think its a lot cooler for there to be giant stylistic shifts between movies than a consistent style - so my main concern with Fraser potentially not coming back is them trying to continue his aesthetic without him. Ground up rework it if that's the case - 89 to Returns, BB to TDK it.

 

[The Panhandler]

Either Darius Khondji or Linus Sandgren

 

[blue scholar]

Deakins

The only answer really.

And then we'll get a Batman version of the train robbery scene from The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

 

[Boom]

IMO Jarin Blaschke might be worth discussing…

This is the correct answer.

 

[WayneMB]

Deakins

 

[The Panhandler]

Deakins doesn't like to shoot with anamorphic lenses, so him and Reeves' sensibilities do not match.

 

[emielaen]

Mukdeeprom

Yes.

Reeves has already stated in interviews this year that his intent for the whole saga is to have them feel of a piece to one another and share the same general look and feel across the board, with there being wiggle room and evolutions here and there (i.e. The Penguin having more of a handheld, documentary like vibe to it in contrast to the more elaborate cinematography in The Batman Part 1).

well, i for one find this approach insane. imo The Batman is one of the best shot movies of the 2000s. I don't htink there's many DPs who would be able to light batman as good as fraser managed

I love Fraser, I love how The Batman looks, there are also several amazing people out there who would shoot a gorgeous Batman movie. I just think limiting them to the pre established look Fraser cooked up is boring - if there’s a change, treat it as an opportunity to make something new and not just a substitute for the guy you really want.

 

[WayneMB]

well Fraser can certainly tweak the look himself lol.

 

[spideyfan77]

I completely disagree with creating a new look. Glad Reeves agrees that he wants the movies to feel like they are connected and visually similar. I hate how BB to TDK look completely different. I preferred the look of BB so it was disappointing how they changed it.

I want these movies to keep that same visual style throughout the universe since it is this universe and makes it feel connected.

I'd be more than happy for Fraser to come back! I just think if there's a change it should be a Change. Continuity smchontiuity.

Villeneuve said he wants Messiah to have a completely different look from these last two films, and if The Penguin is any indication, whoever this hypothetical new cinematographer is would probably just be asked to ape Fraser's style for the first film anyways, so to me it feels quite daft to not at least try to get Fraser back.

Oh, did he?

That could change things…

Denis Villeneuve Says ‘Dune 3’ Is ‘Not Like a Trilogy’ and Will Be His Last ‘Dune’ Movie: Other Directors Could Take Over So ‘I’m Not Closing the Door’ on the Franchise

Denis Villeneuve maintains that "Dune 3" will be his final "Dune" movie, but he's open for other directors to keep the franchise going.

There seems to be more than one person involved, but could one of the cinematographers from Shogun work? That whole style seems like it'd gel SUPER nicely with the visual style Matt established to an extent without feeling too different.
