Warner Brosin johto ei pitänyt Dune: Part Two'n mustavalkokohtauksista

Denis Villeneuven ohjaamassa elokuvassa Dune: Part Two Austin Butlerin esittämä Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen taistelee syntymäpäivänään areenalla kuin roomalainen gladiaattori ikään. Oscar-palkinnon voittanut kuvaaja Greig Fraser päätti kuvata kohtauksen mustavalkoisesti, mikä saa Harkonnenien kotiplaneetta Giede Primen näyttämään erittäin luotaantyöntävältä.

Warner Brosin johtoporras ei aluksi pitänyt lainkaan kuvaajan ratkaisusta, ja vaati aluksi kuvaamaan kohtauksia kokonaan uusiksi, jotta lopputulos ei olisi ollut niin mustavalkoinen. Lopulta kuvattu sai jäädä valmiiseen elokuvaan.

Greig Fraser kommentoi asiaa Geek Tyrantille.

"For us, that was the first shoot that we were doing onstage, that was the first thing we were going to be shooting for the main photography. So, we did a bit of pre-shooting in Italy with Florence and Charlotte, we had done a couple of days pre-shooting, but this is the first real shoot that we were gonna be doing onstage that was going to be shown to the studio. It was a bit of a bold step that we decided to shoot in this format, because the worry was that, effectively, people who were not there would watch this footage and go, "What the heck is that?" Suddenly, we're on phone calls going, "Can we fix that? Can we fix it in post? Can we add color? How do we resolve this?" But we made a choice and just went, "Well, we've made a choice. It's black and white, no color, we can't make it color. There's no way back. We've made a choice, and we're going one way." So that, for me, was probably the biggest — I wouldn't say challenge, the biggest consideration, where we had no way home."
