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.
