Film Internet News Lesson 1: Never trust IMDB for a movie that isn't out yet.
Film Internet News Lesson 1: Never trust IMDB for a movie that isn't out yet.
I like that Snyder's not working a lot of his usual key crew members this time around. Not that I have a problem with any of them, it just makes me feel like he's breaking out of his usual mold for this, which is what I was hoping for.
David Brenner has joined the crew. He's edited numerous films for Roland Emmerich, like ID4, 2012 and The Day After Tomorrow. He also edited Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides alongside Marshall's usual editor Wyatt Smith.
Seems like Zack has assembled an ace crew to work on MOS.
If David Brenner is the principal film editor, then his job should be post-producing film sequence, e.g. adding and/or removing shots to create a coherent story with the direction of Snyder and the producers. For example in Stuart Baird's editing of Superman The Movie, the helicopter rescue sequences which consist of several shots that needed to be put together so as to add up to a coherent and suspenseful storytelling.
It seems like WB and Nolan are 'encouraging' Snyder to go with more trustworthy and reliable people than the people he's previously worked with. I pray that also extends to the composer, and I have a feeling it won't be Tyler Bates or Hans Zimmer.
Although I think Amir Mokri is a bit similar to Larry Fong's style -- which is heavy contrast and hyperreal colors.
Editor usually deals with the whole film sequence not just certain segments. In the example I presented, Stuart Baird was responsible for the overall content of Superman The Movie. I mentioned the helicopter rescue sequences because not only was it a famous sequence, but it was also a masterful piece of film editing using footages shot from a mixture of model and on-location photography.So he doesn't put together entire scenes of a movie, like decide the rescue scene works better in the middle of the movie or something, but selects shots and puts them together to complete a scene. I was more under the impression that they just put together entire scenes. I hadn't realized that they have to go through the film shot-by-shot. Thanks.
What exactly would he be doing? Is he an editor or director of photography? And if it is editor, what exactly is it an editor does?
I know they put the scenes together, but are they the ones who decide what gets cut out or is it the director?

I'm really, really, really, disappointed that Larry Fong isn't working on this.
Up until now I was under the impression that he'd be working on this film.
I'm sorry if this is old, but I haven't seen it posted.
Anyways, it looks like Zack's Director of Photography Larry Fong won't be working on Superman.
This is terrible news, imo. All of Zack's movies have beautiful cinematography because of Larry. Also, Bill Hoy won't be the editor...
