Listen to cinematographer Greig Fraser on the maximalism of ‘DUNE: PART TWO’

Few films are as visually explosive as Denis Villenueve’s Dune films, which makes the people behind its images an immediate point of interest. 

Greig Fraser, an Academy Award-winning cinematographer known for his work on The Batman and Rogue One, played a significant role in bringing these films’ imaginative and immersive looks to life. Whether it’s Timothée Chalamet riding a giant sandworm, foot soldiers taking out massive machinery, or gladiatorial fights devoid of color, Fraser’s work is something to be celebrated, especially in the next Dune chapter.
