Today on Art of the Cut we’re speaking with Oscar-nominee Richard Pearson, ACE, about editing The Accountant 2

Richard’s been on Art of the Cut several times in the past for the original The Accountant film, also for Wonder Woman 1984, and Kong: Skull Island. Richard’s also worked on Men in Black 2, and the Bond movie, Quantum of Solace. He was nominated for an Oscar and an ACE Eddie and won a BAFTA for United 93. He was also nominated for an ACE Eddie and an Emmy for From the Earth to the Moon.

This discussion includes the use of invisible split-screens to craft pacing, developing montages, and the keys to editing a good action scene - of which, this movie has plenty of great examples.
