Cinematographer Greig Fraser counts “The Batman,” “Dune” and “Rogue One” among his credits. But his latest film, “Project Hail Mary,” is what he calls his “most challenging film I’ve ever done, by far.”

“Project Hail Mary” is based on Andy Weir’s book of the same name and directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Ryan Gosling stars as Ryland Grace, a science teacher and former molecular biologist who is recruited by the government to help save the Earth from dying. Ryland then unwittingly finds himself on an interstellar mission that includes meeting an alien, Rocky.
