Ep 162: Icelandic Hollywood Editor Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir

Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir is one of the industries most talented editors.After working in Europe for years, her first American film was the 2012 crime thriller Contraband, a remake of a film she edited in Iceland. Her close collaborator is stunt-man-turned-action-director David Leitch; they worked together on John Wick, Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, and most recently, Bullet Train: a neon-infused, violent, and hilarious Agatha Christie-style romp starring Brad Pitt and an ensemble of who’s who, including Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sandra Bullock. It all takes place on a bullet train speeding from Tokyo to Kyoto.I loved this filmmaking conversation with her, I hope you enjoy listening to it too.
