DESCRIPTION: This week on Light the Fuselage we are joined by “Top Gun: Maverick” editor Eddie Hamilton, who we had on the main show many years ago (he also edited “Mission: Impossible – Fallout”). This week we talk about how editing “Top Gun: Maverick” was like climbing a mountain, we get into the Screen X presentation and just how laborious the action production was. Also learn how long he’ll have been on “Mission: Impossible 7” and “8.” Released June 10th, 2022.

SHOW NOTES: Here’s Eddie in the editing trailer at Lemoore Naval Base...

And here’s the graphic of footage from the lab (813 hours and 51 minutes)...

As discussed in the episode, here is Bilge Ebiri’s fantastic piece about “Top Gun: Maverick”... Tom Cruise’s Last Stand.
