Director Denis Villeneuve had anamorphic lensmaker Atlas Lens hand-crafted a custom IMAX lens specifically for the aesthetics of the sci-fi franchise Dune: Part Three. The lenses were developed in partnership with director Villeneve and cinematographer Linus Sandgren. Atlas used new design techniques and coating methods to cater specifically to the IMAX format. The new lenses will be showcased at the upcoming Pacific Northwest Lens Summit in Portland.
