Today we’re speaking with Elisabet Ronnaldsdotir, ACE about editing Bullet Train with her long-time directorial collaborator, David Leitch, who - at one time was Brad Pitt’s stunt double.

She also edited The Deep and John Wick, Deadpool 2 and Kate, among others. With credentials like that, it’s so easy to categorize her as the queen of the action film, but I think our discussion today will show that she’s so much more than that.
