The DOP has major say in the grade, especially a top name like Hoyte, and they work very closely with their director, and that would have been the case on SP. However in some (not all) of the TV world, more and more DOP's (many of them very good) are being ignored or walked over during the grading process by some producers and/or execs who seem to think they know better. A few DOP friends of mine feel it's deeply disrespectful and rather ignorant behaviour - but it's happening more and more.
Did a great job on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Young, energetic and appears to get the Story/action balance right. has nothing on his schedule right now.
Van Hoytema: We wanted to make Mexico like an exotic, strange dream. We would literally wait for the sun to disappear, add smoke and shoot. We added a lot of smoke, because we really wanted to disperse the light, to make the air feel heavy. We shot in Mexico in [4-perf ] Super 35 with a combination of the 50 and 250 [stocks]. We tried to shoot everything in Mexico overcast, but we weren’t always successful; there are parts where the sun breaks out. We wanted to reserve direct sunlight for Morocco.
This is also worth a read

I think the distinctive look of the film is one of its saving graces.
Gareth Edwards was pushed aside (although not fired) and replaced by Tony Gilroy (on about $200k a week) who directed the major, major re-shoots and re-cut of the Rogue One which editor Stuart Baird (CR, SF etc.) was brought on to oversee. I'm not saying Gareth Edwards is not talented and skilled because he is, but doing a huge budget studio picture like Star Wars or Bond is a whole new ballgame. I understand Godzilla had problems too - and personally I didn't think the film was up to much.
I have to say I think SP is a stunning looking film. I really enjoy the film as well, but it's not CR or SF and I can see why Craig may feel he needs another shot at a definitive final film for his tenure.
To be honest it was what we already knew. We already knew that Villeneuve was in Eon's (and most likely DC's) sights for Bond 25 but was unlikely due to his commitments. We knew that weeks ago.
The first Tomb Raider movie is enough to make me want West as far as possible from Bond.

This is what you mean with painting look
Craziness. That movie is pure enjoyment. Best video game adaptation ever.
Oooh.....the only thing good in that film is Iain Glenn.
Thats my point,the film was so bad,Iain was the best thing in it...
So far, the only good film adaptation of any video game I've seen is the first Hitman film starring Timothy Oliphant. It could've been a lot better, but it's better than whatever we got later on with many game-to-movie releases.
I didnt watch it luckily !!
Ow.....dodged a bullet there !!
It might have been a good movie, but it had nothing to do with the videogame, and that's my problem. If West showed no respect for Tomb Raider, he might show none for Bond.
I won't defend the sequel, however. That one is pure trash.
