Collider has exclusively revealed that Sam Hargrave has been onboard as second unit director for Season 2 of The Mandalorian Disney+ series. Hargrave had this to say about working on the project with series creator Jon Favreau and the rest of the production team during his recent interview with Collider:
“I like the people over there — Favreau’s great — so I went over and it was a really fascinating adventure. They have a crazy way of shooting. Some of the stuff is traditionally shot, with the live-action and blue screen on the backlot, but they’ve also got this technology called ‘The Volume’ where it’s just, like, the inside of a live game engine. It’s quite insane what technology nowadays is available to filmmakers. It was really eye-opening, the potential of this technology that Jon and they guys had been working on. It was a really fun learning experience.”
Hargrave joins Dave Filoni and Robert Rodriguez & Peyton Reed as filmmakers who will be performing directorial duties on the series’ second season.
Season 2 of The Mandalorian is scheduled to debut sometime in October.
