Editor, Richard Pearson ACE Wonder Woman 1984 editor, Richard Pearson ACE checks in on this episode of The Rough Cut to share his experience cutting Patty Jenkins' new super hero blockbuster.  Rick's no stranger to the DC Extended Universe or the Marvel Cinematic Universe either for that matter.  Rick co-edited the much discussed Justice League and also cut Iron Man 2 alongside Rough Cut "three-timer" Dan Lebental. Rick also has plenty of experience doing sequels with other big franchises, cutting Men In Black 2, Quantum of Solace and The Bourne Supremacy.  His name can also be found on monster movies like, Godzilla: King of Monsters and Kong: Skull Island. In 2007 he was nominated for an OSCAR® for his work on United 93, so you know he can deliver the goods with historical dramas.  And if it’s comedy you’re after, he’s got those too, with his very first feature being Bowfinger, directed by Frank Oz, written by and starring Steve Martin and co-starring Eddie Murphy. Rick is currently working at home (in his adult son's old bedroom) on his next feature.
