The Taylor Swift drops just keep coming.
At midnight, Swift released her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department” — and then announced two hours later that it’s a surprise double album, leaving casual fans and Swifites alike to spend the day decoding who the songs are about. (How many Friday afternoon Slack messages were devoted to parsing if a song was about Swift exes Joe Alwyn or Matty Healy?) And then came the album’s first music video for single “Fortnite,” co-written by and featuring Post Malone.
In addition to “Dead Poets Society” (note that neither title uses an apostrophe) alums Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles, the music video boasts another big name: Oscar-nominated cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto (“Killers of the Flower Moon”).
This isn’t the first time Prieto has collaborated with Swift. The cinematographer previously worked on the 2020 music videos for Swift’s songs “The Man,” “Cardigan,” and “Willow.

When Martin Scorsese was making “Silence,” his 2016 drama about a pair of Jesuit priests spreading the gospel in Japan, a typhoon hit the area, bringing with it biblical showers. As the filmmaker braced himself for news that the bad weather would mean he’d have to abandon plans to shoot that day, there was a rap on his trailer door. There stood Rodrigo Prieto, Scorsese’s long-time cinematographer, outfitted in heavy rain gear. Despite the deluge, he was radiating optimism.
“We’re almost ready,” Prieto reassured the director. “Just a few more minutes.”
Prieto’s calm demeanor and his commitment to getting the work done, no matter the elemental hurdles, left Scorsese speechless.
“He always delivers — he interprets what I’m asking for and he brings it to life,” Scorsese marvels. “He’s always positive and he thinks and works quickly. And absolutely nothing stops him.”

Joining me in the Apple Original Films portion of Deadline’s Contenders Film: The Nominees were several Oscar nominees for Martin Scorsese’s epic Western Killers of the Flower Moon, and since the film has been nominated for a whopping 10 Academy Awards it was a good cross-section of artisans who made this very big film come to life.
The panelists included cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, production designer Jack Fisk, set decorator Adam Willis, producer Daniel Lupi and Original Song nominee for “Wahzhazhe ( A Song for My People)” Scott George.
Lupi, a multiple past Oscar nominee, was tasked with helping bring the production the kind of authenticity that can only happen if it is shot where the true story really happened. “When I got involved, the film was always going to be shot in the Osage Nation. There was never a doubt that that’s where we were going to go,” he said.

When Martin Scorsese strikes up a relationship with his cinematographer, the collaboration tends to last for more than one film. Throughout his legendary career, Scorsese has worked repeatedly with such top names in the art of cinematography as Michael Chapman, Michael Ballhaus, Robert Richardson, and now Rodrigo Prieto. The acclaimed cinematographer, who was an Oscar nominee for “Brokeback Mountain,” has been at Scorsese’s side for the last four of the master filmmaker’s projects. During that run, Prieto has received three Oscar nominations for his artistry.
“It is crazy to imagine that I could even one day in my career say, ‘Yeah, it’s my third nomination with Martin Scorsese for an Oscar.’ What are you talking about?” Prieto, who was nominated this year for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” tells Gold Derby in an exclusive video interview. “It’s thrilling and I feel very privileged to be in this position.

Rodrigo Prieto had a lot of mixed emotions running through him on Oscar nomination day. As the cinematographer of “Barbie” and “Killers of the Flower Moon,” the latter of which earned him his fourth nomination, he was thrilled to see so many of his colleagues get nominated, especially four of the actors whose performances he captured with his camera.
But like so many others, he was “startled” to see Greta Gerwig miss out on a Best Director nomination for “Barbie.”
“Greta made a groundbreaking piece of cinema, one that is going to be remembered for years and years to come,” Prieto told TheWrap. “Of course, art is always subjective and these awards races bring competitiveness, but all the other nominations that ‘Barbie’ earned were because of her vision. This was her film.”

Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto and costume designer Jacqueline West take audiences to 1920s Oklahoma in Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon.” This is three-time Oscar nominee Prieto’s fourth collaboration with Scorsese after “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Silence,” and “The Irishman,” and the Eric Roth-written drama about the Osage nation standing up to systematic murder by white settlers marks Jacqueline West’s first pairing with Scorsese.

The American Society of Cinematographers has unveiled the nominations for its 38th annual ASC Awards, honoring the year’s best in feature film, documentary and television cinematography.
The society’s marquee Theatrical Feature Film nominees are chock-full of awards-season favorite pics, with one surprise. Edward Lachman is up for the Netflix pic El Conde, joining the likes of Matthew Libatique for Maestro, Rodrigo Prieto for Killers of the Flower Moon, Robbie Ryan for Poor Things, Hoyte van Hoytema for Oppenheimer.
Prieto also lensed the year’s No. 1 movie, Barbie, but missed the ASC cut today.
The group’s film winner has gone on to claim the Academy Award nearly half of the time — 17 times in its 37 years — but not last year. Mandy Walker won the ASC’s top film prize in 2023, but the Academy Award went to James Friend for All Quiet on the Western Front.

Director Martin Scorsese has long been known for his rigorous dedication to authenticity, and “Killers of the Flower Moon” is quite possibly his densest film yet in terms of journalistic detail. Working closely with Osage advisers who vetted every line of Scorsese and Eric Roth’s screenplay, researcher Marianne Bower compiled thousands of pages of research material and visual references that she made available to all of the department heads as resources to tell their tragic story. The result is one of the most fully realized historical epics ever put on screen, a film in which each gesture, fabric, prop, and camera movement builds to create an immersive emotional experience for the audience.
The demand for verisimilitude placed extreme demands on Scorsese’s collaborators, all of whom felt a deep sense of responsibility to the Osage people. “It was important to [Scorsese] that it be truthful and fair,” production designer Jack Fisk told IndieWire,...

Plenty of people have thought about spanking Leonardo DiCaprio. That's just a fact. And we're not here to kink shame. But only one person was able to make that a reality, at least on the big screen, and that's Robert De Niro.
In Martin Scorsese's stirring drama "Killers of the Flower Moon," the legendary "Taxi Driver" star plays the sinister and scheming King Willam Hale, who has been unfolding a plot to take land and money from the people of the Osage nation by marrying wealthy members of the community and methodically killing them off. As part of this plan, he recruits his nephew Ernest Burkhart (DiCaprio) to marry Mollie Kyle, an Osage woman of means. But beyond that, Hale also gets Burkhart involved in other parts of his plan. One such task finds Hale ordering Ernest to murder Henry Roan,...

“I think it was a voice from the wider audience telling us that people wanted to go to the cinemas again and people wanted to join in with an event,” says Oppenheimer cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema of the summer’s Barbenheimer phenomenon. Rodrigo Prieto, who lensed Greta Gerwig’s Barbie as well as Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, also was encouraged by “the excitement that came from the audience wanting to go back to the cinema and see such a diverse example of human experience — Barbie’s not a human, but she does have human emotions, after all.” This discussion was part of The Hollywood Reporter’s Cinematographer Roundtable, recorded remotely Nov. 16 and also including cinematographers Cristina Dunlap, who lensed American Fiction; Shabier Kirchner, of Past Lives; Dan Laustsen, of The Color Purple and John Wick: Chapter 4; and Lukasz Zal, of The Zone of Interest.

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers for “Killers of the Flower Moon.”
The haunting “Killers of the Flower Moon” scene where Lily Gladstone’s Mollie Burkhart sits at the bottom of a staircase and lets out a devastating scream after learning that her sister was killed in an explosion is one of the film’s most affecting moments. According to cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, it was unscripted.
Prieto, a longtime collaborator of director Martin Scorsese, believes the last-minute change came together because the filmmaker “trusts his actors, and they’re a part of the process.”
Based on the nonfiction book by David Grann, “Killers of the Flower Moon” stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Ernest Burkhart, a war veteran who comes to Oklahoma in the 1920s to work for his wealthy uncle, William King Hale, played by Robert De Niro. Hale encourages Ernest to marry Mollie, as her Osage family owns oil rights and could make them rich.

For many of the 158 critics and journalists who voted in IndieWire’s 2023 critics survey to determine the best movies and performances of the year, the wait was worth it. Six years since Martin Scorsese was first attached to “Killers of the Flower Moon,” and four years after it went into active development, the film topped our poll — in fact, even more decisively than Todd Field’s “TÁR” did in last year’s survey.
“Killers of the Flower Moon” appeared on 94 of the 158 ballots, a little over 59 percent. The critics who voted last year only mentioned “TÁR” on 45 percent of their ballots, and we declared that a landslide at the time. Scorsese’s film also received 25 first-place votes naming it the best film of the year, the most first-place votes in addition to the most overall mentions.

It’s often the case that cinematographers are worth an interview no matter their film or director. Rodrigo Prieto, on the other hand, presents a larger canvas. He’s collaborated with Martin Scorsese on four features (a run that began with The Wolf of Wall Street and most recently brought Killers of the Flower Moon) while earning the trust of Terrence Malick, Spike Lee, Ang Lee, Oliver Stone, music-video director Taylor Swift, and Greta Gerwig, for whom Barbie duties have made him Dp of 2023’s highest-grossing film.
Safe to suggest Prieto’s had an enormous influence on modern cinema, making nearly inevitable his presenting Killers and Barbie at this year’s EnergaCAMERIMAGE.

In Martin Scorsese‘s Killers of the Flower Moon, the crime lord, William King Hale (Robert De Niro), spanks his nephew, Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio), in a shocking scene.
“I don’t think that was in the first script,” Rodrigo Prieto said during a recent interview with Insider. “That was something that was added, and it’s shocking in the film.'”
This scene was also not in the original 2017 non-fiction book by David Grann on which the film was based, Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI.
The spanking scene occurs in the second act. During this part of the film, Hale is upset with Burkhart for ruining a part of their plan to kill the rich Osage family of his wife, Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone).

Veteran cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto’s versatility could not be more evident than in his most recent work, which called for filming a 1920s Osage Nation in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon and shooting the candy-colored Barbie Land of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie. Born in Mexico City to a bicultural family (his mom is an American from Montana), Prieto caught the cinematography world’s attention in 2000 when he won the Camerimage Golden Frog for Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s Amores Perros. Since moving to the U.S., he continued lensing for Iñárritu while also collaborating with Pedro Almodóvar, Oliver Stone, Ben Affleck (on the Oscar best picture winner Argo) and Ang Lee, whose Brokeback Mountain delivered the Dp the first of his three Academy Award nominations. Pietro, who is also this month’s THR Titan, has also earned Oscar noms for two Scorsese movies (Killers is their fourth collaboration). The filmmaker calls Prieto,...

Makeup And Hair
Prosthetic makeup designer Kazu Hiro could very well walk away with his third Oscar for his work on Bradley Cooper’s “Maestro.” Transforming Cooper into the legendary composer Leonard Bernstein consisted of five different stages to gradually age the actor. And the guild as well as the Academy love a transformation.
Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” could be a contender in this area, following in the footsteps of the first two films that landed guild nominations. The sheer volume of prosthetics and wigs went into building the characters such as the humanimals, the hybrid of humanoid and animal, and the villain, the High Evolutionary, played by Chukwudi Iwuji.

Adapted from David Grann’s best-selling book, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon is based on real-life crimes against the Osage Nation in 1920s Oklahoma. In the film, Scorsese continues his collaboration with several key artists: actors Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, editor Thelma Schoonmaker and cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, ASC, AMC. This also marks the final film for Scorsese and musician Robbie Robertson, who died this past August. Prieto worked with Scorsese on three previous films: The Wolf of Wall Street, The Irishman, and Silence.

Rodrigo Prieto has been on quite a journey over the past year. In 2022, he spent months on the plains of Oklahoma working in blistering hot weather with Martin Scorsese as Dp of “Killers of the Flower Moon,” a dark retelling of murder and racism from the early 20th century.
Then, immediately after, he flew off to London to help Greta Gerwig create the colorful world of “Barbie.” Making such wildly different films requires differing approaches, but Prieto told TheWrap that his philosophy as a cinematographer connected the two films together.
“As a cinematographer, I tap into my own psyche, into my own inner worlds,” he said. “For ‘Killers of the Flower Moon, it was certainly an exploration of my own darkness, my own conflicts, and then I try to put that on the screen and try to understand what of these characters is in me as well.”

Interestingly but not surprisingly, the acclaimed director Martin Scorsese has used a very special combination to shoot the masterpiece ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’. The movie was shot by his cinematic partner, Rodrigo Prieto Stambaugh, ASC, AMC, on the Arricam (St & Lt), combined with the Sony Venice and Scorsese’s own 1917 Bell & Howell.

Martin Scorsese’s ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ is one of the contenders for the 96th Academy Awards (Oscar 2024). The movie is a 2023 American epic revisionist Western crime drama that is based on the 2017 book of the same name by David Grann. Its plot centers on a series of Oklahoma murders in the Osage Nation during the 1920s, committed after oil was discovered on tribal land.

One of the more memorable scenes in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon finds Robert De Niro’s William King Hale disciplining his nephew, Leonardo DiCaprio’s Ernest Burkhart, with a paddle. And while a little movie magic could have prevented DiCaprio from taking a genuine whooping, according to cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, each whack was the real deal.
Prieto – who has lensed all of Scorsese’s films since 2013’s The Wolf of Wall Street – told Insider that while DiCaprio did utilize padding on his keister, there were multiple takes of De Niro wailing on his co-star. “I do remember doing them quite a few times and thinking, ‘Oh, that must hurt…There was some padding on his butt. But you could tell De Niro was really hitting him.” Hey, De Niro is known for immersing himself in his roles, and taking a paddle to DiCaprio’s butt is no different.

When it comes to acting, you can’t expect Robert De Niro to fake anything. That’s why Leonardo DiCaprio wore butt padding to handle being spanked by De Niro in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto revealed to Insider.
In Scorsese’s latest, DiCaprio’s Ernest Burkhart is paddled by De Niro’s William Hale as punishment for throwing a wrench in the duo’s plans to rob the Osage nation. Though the film is based on a book of the same name, the scene is unique to the screen adaptation — and one Prieto said was a late addition to the project.
“I don’t think that was in the first script,” Prieto revealed. “That was something that was added, and it’s shocking in the film.”
The cinematographer continued, “I do remember doing them quite a few times and thinking, ‘Oh, that must hurt.

Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto told Insider in a new interview that Leonardo DiCaprio wore butt padding for the scene in which Robert De Niro has to repeatedly spank him. Prieto recalled watching the scene on set and thinking, “Oh, that must hurt.” He commended DiCaprio for being open to try anything Scorsese asked him to during production.
“I don’t think that was in the first script,” Prieto said of the spanking scene. “That was something that was added, and it’s shocking in the film.”
“I do remember doing them quite a few times and thinking, ‘Oh, that must hurt,'” Prieto added. “There was some padding on his butt. But you could tell De Niro was really hitting him…Leo is game for so much. He’ll do anything.”
The spanking scene occurs about halfway into the lengthy “Flower Moon” runtime.

Count “Oppenheimer” director Christopher Nolan among the Swifties.
During an interview alongside his wife and producer, Emma Thomas, to discuss the Best Picture front-runner earlier this month, Nolan praised Taylor Swift for releasing her blockbuster concert film directly to theaters without the help of a legacy studio.
“Taylor Swift is about to show the studios because her concert film is not being distributed by the studios, it’s being distributed by a theater owner, AMC, and it’s going to make an enormous amount of money,” Nolan said in the interview, which was conducted on October 11 and published this week. “And this is the thing, this is a format, this is a way of seeing things and sharing stories, or sharing experiences that’s incredibly valuable. And if they don’t want it, somebody else will. So that’s just the truth of it.”

After a historic summer, Greta Gerwig’s smash-hit film, Barbie, arrives in IMAX today, and previously unseen post-credit scenes are coming with it. In a new interview with Variety, cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto has shared that the new footage is just the tip of the iceberg as far as the movie’s unseen scenes go. Giving insight into what ended up on the cutting room floor, he highlighted one deleted scene that gave Gerwig quite a chuckle: a moment with Michael Cera inspired by Steven Spielberg’s Jaws.
In the film, Cera portrays Allan — the now-discontinued Mattel doll intended to be Ken’s friend — and delivers the movie’s “most reliably funny jokes,” according to Consequence’s Senior Entertainment Editor Liz Shannon Miller, who even suggested that Cera’s memorable performance is Oscar-worthy. According to Prieto, the scene that cracked Gerwig up was a play on the famous dolly zoom from Jaws,...

Michael Cera’s Deleted ‘Barbie’ Scene Was Inspired by ‘Jaws’: Greta Gerwig ‘Could Not Stop Laughing’
“Barbie” cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto says he shot “so many scenes” for the Greta Gerwig blockbuster “that didn’t end up in the movie” — including a scene inspired by Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws.”
“There were many moments that ended up on the cutting room floor,” he tells Variety. “There are many things that I imagine will start coming out,” he continued, referencing “Barbie’s” scheduled Sept. 22 IMAX release that will include new post-credit scenes.
Prieto, too, confirms they filmed a “Midge in Labor” scene featuring narrator Helen Mirren and Barbie’s discontinued pregnant friend. “It was a little additional moment [where] Helen Mirren then blocks the camera,” he says. “I can’t really say much more.”
One scene Prieto is keen on discussing is a moment featuring Allan, Ken’s buddy played by Michael Cera, that was inspired by “Jaws.”

When the human eye stares at one color for too long, it experiences a phenomenon known as cone fatigue. The cones in one's eyes are the cellular photoreceptors that process color and are particularly good at processing reds, blues, and greens. And, yes, cones can get tired of looking at certain things. For instance, when one stares at the color red for too long, the cones wear themselves out and fall into a state of complete rest. As a result, the eye will produce a "ghost" spectrally opposite image of red when it looks at a white area. Test it out! Stare at a red spot for about 30 seconds without blinking, then glance quickly to a white piece of paper. You will see, for a few moments, a "burn" of a cyan spot floating in front of you.

New York, Aug 19 (Ians) Those following a plant-based diet with limited added salts and sugars, adequate rest, exercise and socialisation were found to have a 29 per cent lower risk of all-cause mortality and a 28 per cent lower risk of cancer mortality compared to others who were non-adherent to this lifestyle, a new research has said.
In a study of adults in the UK, those who adhered closely to a Mediterranean lifestyle had lower risk of all-cause and cancer mortality.
The researchers analysed the habits of 110,799 members of the UK Biobank cohort, a population-based study across England, Wales, and Scotland using the Mediterranean Lifestyle (Medlife) index, which is derived from a lifestyle questionnaire and diet assessments.

When Oscar-nominated cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto got a call from filmmaker Greta Gerwig to work on her next project, he was excited. He had been an admirer of her work, and was eager to work with her. But when she pitched her bubbly, 1950s musicals-inspired take on “Barbie,” he could not have been in a more different headspace — he was in Oklahoma prepping Martin Scorsese’s dark true crime drama “Killers of the Flower Moon.”
“It was hard for me to completely shift gears in such a tremendous way,” he admitted during an interview with TheWrap, but he was immediately intrigued and excited by Gerwig’s pitch for “Barbie,” and knew he wanted to do it before he even read Gerwig’s script. “I knew that she wasn’t going to do what you’d expect,” he said.

In a couple of months’ time — on September 19, to be exact — the Emmys will be held barring any delays due to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Once those awards are out of the way, it will then be time to focus on the Academy Awards. However, some of us can’t wait that long and have already started thinking about potential nominees and contenders across all categories.
That includes below-the-line categories, however, as well as the obvious above-the-line ones. And so many of the below-the-line categories are made up of technical areas — Cinematography, Editing, Sound, and Visual Effects. That is four nominations that any one film could collect all in one go as so many have done before this year, such as “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,” “Gravity,” “The Revenant,” and “Mad Max: Fury Road.” With that in mind, let’s take a look...
