PostMagazine.com is currently running a great interview with Sean Anderson editor of “Rocky Balboa.” Here’s just a taste of what Mr. Anderson had to say:
-
“Once I knew what Sly’s intention was for this final chapter, I had absolutely no reservations. To edit the film that he wanted to make was a chance for me to touch history.”
-
“The film shot for about eight weeks. We had a two-week editor’s cut in the schedule, which actually never happened. Sly was in the cutting room the day after he finished shooting.”
- “It was not lost on me that I was now sitting in a room with an American icon that I grew up watching on the big screen.”
Sean Anderson talks about the editing process [it’s especially interesting how they dealt with an emotional scene which defined Paulie’s character arc and changed the tone of the movie], his admiration for Sylvester Stallone and why he felt compelled to join the “Rocky Balboa” team.
