Editor - Andrew Weisblum ACE THE FRENCH DISPATCH editor, Andrew Weisblum ACE joins forces for the fifth time with director Wes Anderson.  Andy's history with Wes began with THE DARJEELING LIMITED (2007) and was followed up by FANTASTIC MR. FOX (2009), MOONRISE KINGDOM (2012) and ISLE OF DOGS (2018). THE FRENCH DISPATCH was written, directed, and produced by Wes Anderson and stars an ensemble cast featuring Benicio del Toro, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Léa Seydoux, Frances McDormand, Timothée Chalamet, Jeffrey Wright, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson and many more talented actors.  It tells the tale of the French foreign bureau of a fictional Kansas newspaper, compelled to create its final issue when Arthur Howitzer Jr., the editor of the newspaper, dies suddenly of a heart attack. According to the wishes expressed in his will, publication of the newspaper will be suspended following one final farewell issue in which three articles from past editions of the paper are republished, along with his obituary. The project was first mentioned in August 2018 as an untitled musical set after World War II.  That December, the film was officially announced with Anderson calling it a "love letter to journalists."  Filming took place between November 2018 and March 2019.  Following a year delay, THE FRENCH DISPATCH had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on July 12, 2021 and was theatrically released in the United States by Searchlight Pictures on October 22, 2021. ANDREW WEISBLUM ACE Aside from his rich body of work with Wes Anderson, Andy is also a frequent collaborator with director Darren Aronofsky.  In addition to his Oscar®-nominated work on Aronofsky's BLACK SWAN (2010), Andy also collaborated with him on THE FOUNTAIN (2006), BROKEN ENGLISH (2007), THE WRESTLER (2008), NOAH (2014) and MOTHER!

Editors - Tom Cross ACE and Elliot Graham ACE NO TIME TO DIE editors, Tom Cross ACE and Elliot Graham ACE combine their collective talents for storytelling and their love for the Bond franchise in director Cary Joji Fukunaga's take on the iconic super agent. NO TIME TO DIE is the twenty-fifth film in the James Bond series. It stars Daniel Craig in his fifth and final outing as fictional British MI6 agent, James Bond.  In this film, Bond, who has left active service with MI6, is recruited by the CIA to find a kidnapped scientist, which leads to a showdown with a powerful adversary. TOM CROSS ACE Editor Tom Cross first really made a name for himself working alongside director Damien Chazelle on their breakout film, WHIPLASH.  Among the many accolades garnered by the film was Cross's Oscar® win for Best Film Editing.  Chazelle and Cross would follow that up with another hit movie, LA LA LAND, for which Cross was again nominated for an Oscar®.  The two would team up yet again for FIRST MAN, a biopic about astronaut Neil Armstrong.  Cross is currently working with Chazelle on the forthcoming film, BABYLON. ELLIOT GRAHAM ACE Editor Elliot Graham wasted no time in making his way into the editor's chair, bypassing the more traveled route of assistant editing.  Graham cut his teeth on a healthy mix of music videos and action movies, punctuated by his work with Oscar®-winning editor John Ottman (BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY) on Bryan Singer's X2: X-MEN UNITED.  Although Elliot would go on to do more action/superhero movies like SUPERMAN RETURNS and CAPTAIN MARVEL, it was his work on MILK, the story of gay rights activist and politician, Harvey Milk that brought Elliott an Oscar® nomination.

Editor - Maryann Brandon ACE Venom: Let There Be Carnage editor, Maryann Brandon ACE completes a trilogy of her own with her third appearance on The Rough Cut podcast!  Having previously appeared to discuss her work on the Star Wars sequels (The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker), Maryann once again finds herself on board a high-profile franchise flick. Venom: Let There Be Carnage is directed by Andy Serkis and stars Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock / Venom and Woody Harrelson as serial killer Cletus Kasady / Carnage.  In the film, Brock struggles to adjust to life as the host of the alien symbiote known as Venom, while Kasady escapes from death row after becoming the host of Carnage, a chaotic spawn of Venom. MARYANN BRANDON ACE Maryann Brandon is, without question, no stranger to the big movies and big movie franchises.  She first teamed up with director JJ Abrams, someone who would become a central figure in her career, back when Abrams was doing the action tv series, Alias.  In fact, Maryann even directed a few of those shows.  From there, Maryann worked with JJ on Mission Impossible 3, Star Trek, Super 8, Star Trek Into Darkness, and finally Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.  Among the many other films Maryann has edited was a film that came out in 2018 called Venom, which she co-edited with Alan Baumgarten ACE.

Editor - Jason Ballantine ASE ACE The Guilty editor, Jason Ballantine ASE ACE had always wanted to work with director Antoine Fuqua; he just figured it would be on an action film in the vein of the features Fuqua is known for (Training Day, The Replacement Killers, Olympus Has Fallen).  But with Fuqua's remake of the critically acclaimed Danish film, Den Skyldige "The Guilty" (2018), Ballantine instead finds himself at the editorial helm of a psychological thriller. The Guilty takes place over the course of a single morning in a 911 dispatch call center.  Call operator Joe Baylor (Gyllenhaal) tries to save a caller in grave danger—but he soon discovers that nothing is as it seems, and facing the truth is the only way out. JASON BALLANTINE Jason Ballantine began his editing career in the horror genre (one which he would return to often) with the Australian thriller Wolf Creek (2005).  From there he would edit other fright flicks, such as Prom Night (2008), Crush (2009) and Needle (2010).  But it would be his work on director Andy Muschietti's adaptation of Stephen King's It (2017) and It: Chapter Two (2019) that would put an exclamation point on Jason's work in the horror medium.  Currently at work on Muschietti's The Flash (2022), Jason has also previously teamed up with directors Baz Luhrmann and Matthew Vaughn for The Great Gatsby (2013) and The King's Man (2021) respectively.

Editor - Greg O'Bryant Brand New Cherry Flavor editor, Greg O'Bryant told his frequent collaborator, and B.N.C.F. show runner, Nick Antosca that he couldn't believe that any studio would back a series based on Todd Grimson's 1996 book of the same name; but if any did, Greg was "all in".  As it turns out, Netflix was all in too.  The result is an 8-episode series that almost defies description, but here's how Netflix describes it anyway. A filmmaker heads to Hollywood in the early '90s to make her movie but tumbles down a hallucinatory rabbit hole of sex, magic, revenge — and kittens. As accurate a description as that is, it doesn't even scratch the surface of what Greg and his friends created for the streaming giant. GREG O'BRYANT Brand New Cherry Flavor editor, Greg O'Bryant first began his partnership with Nick Antosca on Channel Zero, a SyFy Channel anthology series based on the popular Internet "Creepypastas" Candle Cove, The No-End House and Butcher's Block.  This would not be the first anthology series where O'Bryant would lend his editorial talents, as he also worked on the tv adaptation of Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience.  Prior to Brand New Cherry Flavor, O'Bryant and Antosca would join forces once again on Hulu's original series, The Act.  In addition to these projects, Greg also edited the critically acclaimed political drama, The Report. Editing Brand New Cherry Flavor In our discussion with Brand New Cherry Flavor editor, Greg O'Bryant, we talk about: Building a partnership with show runner Nick Antosca Creating the "nightmare logic" for the series Working with the LiveGrain process Keeping a clean timeline for the next editor The importance of being intentional with music The Credits Visit ExtremeMusic for all your production audio needs Check out the free trial of Media Composer | Ultimate Subscribe to The Rough Cut podcast and never miss an episode Visit The Rough Cut on YouTube

Editor - Catrin Hedström Candyman is a supernatural slasher film directed by Nia DaCosta and written by Jordan Peele, Win Rosenfeld and also DaCosta. The film is a direct sequel to the 1992 film of the same name and the fourth film in the Candyman film series. In 2019, twenty-seven years after the events of the first film, visual artist Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) lives in Chicago with his girlfriend, art gallery director Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris). Brianna's brother Troy shares with them the urban legend of Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen), a graduate student who went on a killing spree in the early 1990's. Lyle's rampage culminated in a bonfire outside Chicago's Cabrini-Green housing project, where she attempted to sacrifice a baby in the fire. The residents were able to rescue the child before Helen perished in the fire in an apparent act of self-immolation. Desperate for a creative spark to turn his career around, Anthony roams around the Cabrini-Green housing project for inspiration. There, he eventually meets William Burke, a laundromat owner who introduces him to the story of the Candyman (Tony Todd). When Burke was a child he had a frightening encounter with a hook-handed man named Sherman Fields.  Police believed Fields put a razor blade in a piece of candy that was given to a white girl. Young William inadvertently alerted the police to Sherman's presence inside the walls of one of the Cabrini-Green towers, leading them to beat Fields to death. When children continued to receive candy with razor blades inside, Sherman Fields was exonerated.  Since then, the legend implies that if somebody says "Candyman" five times to a mirror, he will appear and kill the summoner. CATRIN HEDSTRÖM Candyman editor, Catrin Hedström joins us while on location for her current collaborative effort with director Nia DaCosta, Marvel Studios' The Marvels.  The Swedish native first met DaCosta when she was studying at NYU.  Since then, the two have gone on to work together on the British crime drama series, Top Boy (2019) and the film, Little Woods (2018). Editing Candyman In our discussion with Candyman editor, Catrin Hedström, we talk about: Connecting to the original Candyman film The uncelebrated beauty of cross dissolves Grounding the audience to a character Using wide shots and negative space to create "room" for Candyman Her preference for scary soundscapes over using stings The Credits Visit ExtremeMusic for all your production audio needs Check out the free trial of Media Composer | Ultimate Subscribe to The Rough Cut podcast and never miss an episode Visit The Rough Cut on YouTube
