James Gray (“Lost City of Z”) isn’t accustomed to directing action scenes, but he made sure that his thrilling “Ad Astra” Rover battle on the moon, with astronaut Brad Pitt being pursued and attacked by pirates, was unconventional. “In some weird way, it was shot on location,” Gray said.
The location was Death Valley. Cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema ingeniously came up with a special 3D rig with Alexa 35 infrared and 35mm film cameras to shoot the sequence in the desert with stunt doubles in motorized Rovers (overseen by second unit director Dan Bradley). This “virtually created unfiltered hard sunlight firing through the atmosphere-less air,” said van Hoytema, who also slowed down the motion of the image to add low gravity credibility. “Tension wouldn’t necessarily come just from speed, but more from the fucked up physics and the story itself,” he added.

In “Ad Astra,” Brad Pitt’s astronaut Roy McBride crosses the solar system to find and confront his long-lost father, requiring the movie crew to create an authentic-looking future that conveys the theme of traveling long distances to learn the lesson that it’s where you started from that has the most value.
“Visually, the aim was to be as naturalistic and believable as possible,” says production designer Kevin Thompson, whose credits includes “Okja,” “Birdman” and “Michael Clayton,” and who worked closely with director James Gray to find a futuristic yet familiar look for locations on Earth, the moon, Mars and beyond.
A relatable and nostalgic touch was struck for settings on Earth, with Thompson using greens from nature and sky blues that contrasted with the underground worlds created for the moon and Mars. “We wanted the moon to feel like it had been conquered by contractors,” says Thompson, who...
