Oscar-winning Dune cinematographer teases sequel: 'It's bigger and better'. "I've read the script and I'm more blown away than I was by Part One ...

"Everything that gets written about Dune must start with the words Denis Villeneuve," Fraser said. After all, Herbert wrote five sequels to the first Dune, and Villeneuve told EW last year he'd also love to make a third movie (based on Herbert's Dune Messiah) if possible. Fraser told journalists that he "can't give any scoops," but nevertheless teased some of the excitement the Dune team is already generating for their next outing to Arrakis. I've read the script, and I'm more blown away by this script than I was by Part One. I'm more excited." Fraser continued, "I was sitting in a meeting with Denis and [production designer] Patrice [Vermette] and Paul [Lambert] the other day at Denis' house talking about this film, and I turned to Denis and said I can't believe these people pay us to do this. They pay us to make these movies which are so exciting and so amazing.

2022 Oscar Craft Winners: How 'Dune' Dominated with Six Wins (IndieWire)

2022 Oscar Craft Winners: How 'Dune' Dominated with Six Wins · Composer Hans Zimmer earned his second Oscar, and cinematographer Greig Fraser, editor Joe Walker, ...

“I just hope that each and every day on set everyone takes a moment to just look around and look at all those people who work so hard.” “Dune” was the big screen event of the season, ushering in the reopening of theaters after the pandemic with its heady mix of politics and religion wrapped around a hero’s journey in the desert. This was an unprecedented, last ditch effort by the Academy executive committee to tighten the show and boost historically low viewership. Then there was the organic soundscape to evoke desert power and the ancestral female chanting inside Paul’s head. It began with the imaginative world building of production designer Patrice Vermette and set decorator Zsuzsanna Sipos, which was a diverse mixture of medieval, Middle Eastern, and Asian influences. It was a “Dune” crafts celebration Sunday at the Oscars, with Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi powerhouse from Warner Bros. grabbing six out of eight wins for cinematography, production design, editing, original score, sound, and visual effects.

What the Dune Team Is Planning for the Sandworms in Part Two (Vulture)

Dune production designer Patrice Vermette and sound designers Theo Green and Mark Mangini share what they've already got in the works for Denis Villeneuve's ...

So during the soft prep, there were areas of the screenplay that we did not end up covering when we locked the script and decided to shoot.” That means “there are elements already designed that will be in Part Two,” he says. Mangini and Green looked to the second half of the book to do so. We may have to wait two years for the continuation of Paul’s journey, but the work to get us there has already begun. “We had Paul seeing the sandtrout and came up with a very strange sound, like a heartbeat, like a watery heartbeat. But what would the whale equivalent of a larva be? According to Green, Paul Atreides’s (Timothée Chalamet) spice visions in the film originally included images depicting the worms’ entire life cycle and a clearer look at how they function.

Dune wins four Oscars as awards start off-camera (1 News)

The 94th Academy Awards got underway on Monday off-camera, with the first eight awards on the night being handed out at the Dolby Theatre before the start ...

Last year's show concluded awkwardly with the unexpected presentation of best actor to a not-present Anthony Hopkins.

A decade ago, it was closer to 40 million.

One thing producers have promised: the night's final award will be best picture. Watch the Oscars awards ceremony live on TVNZ2 from 1pm to 4pm Netflix’s The Power of the Dog, Jane Campion’s gothic western, comes in with a leading 12 nominations and a good chance of snagging the top award. Though it's not favored in the top awards, Dune — the biggest blockbuster of this year's 10 best-picture nominees — was widely expected to clean up in technical categories.

Best makeup and hairstyling went to Linda Dowds, Stephanie Ingram and Justin Raleigh for The Eyes of Tammy Faye. That film's star and producer, Jessica Chastain, had been among the many academy members who thought all the awards should have been handed out live during the broadcast.

The 94th Academy Awards got underway on Monday off-camera, with the first eight awards on the night being handed out at the Dolby Theatre before the start of the broadcast.

The Dolby was largely full in time for the pre-show, dubbed the “golden hour” by the academy. Presenters Jason Momoa and Josh Brolin announced the winners, whose speeches will be edited into the broadcast beginning at 1pm NZT.

But it was a strange and controversial beginning to the first fully in-person Oscars in two years.
