Game of Thrones may be out of the awards conversation this year, but never mind that. Wrapping up his work on the series’ new season in December, Emmy-nominated cinematographer Robert McLachlan has kept himself plenty busy, between Ray Donovan and another HBO smash, Westworld.
Approaching the latter series, McLachlan was intrigued by the idea of working on an updated version of a film he had watched as a child—and equally, the opportunity to work out of LA for the first time in several years, given Game of Throne‘s continually daunting, international shooting schedule.
Speaking with Deadline, McLachlan explains the significant challenges he faced on Westworld—shooting on film for the first time in a number of years, while reacquainting himself with the limitations of the “dying art”—and what’s to come in the highly-anticipated seventh season of Game of Thrones.
