I n the past few weeks, cinemas have been buzzing with the blockbusting double-header of Wicked and Gladiator II . ‘Glicked’ hasn’t quite reached the cultural heights of Barbenheimer, but it’s clear that counter-programming big releases is becoming a go-to way to drum up excitement. We predict the movie mash-up will be a marketing gimmick we see a lot more of in the years to come. Will it get tiresome? Probably. But for now, so long as it gets people excited about going to their local cinemas, we’re all for it! Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II has been a long time coming – nearly 25 years, in fact – but it’s definitely been worth the wait. Packed with bloody battles, jaw- dropping action and epic visuals (yep, including sharks in the Colosseum), it’s an unabashedly entertaining follow-up to the Oscar-winning original. We dig into how it all came together with DOP John Mathieson, as well as hearing from colourist Stephen Nakamura. Head to page 6 to find out more. This issue also features cinematographer Jarin Blaschke discussing his work on Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu , a bold reimagining of the gothic classic. Plus we hear from Tim Cragg – one of the most in-demand documentary DOPs in the game. From freediving doc The Deepest Breath to Beckham , Encounters and The Manhattan Alien Abduction , he’s worked on a string of big hitters in recent years, bringing a cinematic edge that rivals high-end drama. Read his thoughts on the evolution of the genre on page 46. Elsewhere, we examine the latest innovations in broadcast camera robotics, hear from a panel of experts on the future of PTZ tech and spotlight the founders of the Female Film Club, plus lots more. Enjoy the issue, and see you next month!
