which eventually saw
him turn director on films like Green Ice and Waltz Across Texas as well as TV episodes of The Professionals and The New Avengers, was his fruitful asso- ciation with David Lean.
Day was Freddie Young’s opera- tor on Lawrence Arabia, Doctor Zhivago and Ryan’s Daughter before becoming DP on A Passage To India, for which he was nominated for both an Oscar and a BAFTA.
Day once told EXPOSURE: “I was very satisfied with operating. I enjoyed the experience. But it had got to the stage where I thought I wouldn’t be able to get onto my knees and take a camera under a table all my life. And I had a lovely time directing.”
akota Blue Richards, as Lyra Belacqua, and Nicole Kidman, as Marisa Coulter, are pictured right in the first still from His Dark Materials: The Golden
Compass. The $150m first part of Philip Pullman’s bestselling trilogy has been shooting in Norway, Oxford and Shepperton Studios with production expected to continue until Spring 2007. Directed and co-written (with Sir Tom Stoppard) by Chris Weitz, the film is being shot by Henry Braham BSC on 35mm Eterna 500T 8573 and 35mm Eterna 250D 8563. ■
