Making a Good Movie Is Hard
…and these episodes of Light The Fuse, which diverge from the Mission Impossible series to the making of Top Gun: Maverick, exemplify this.
Still listening to this one, but wow…
Joseph Kosinski, Director
Eddie Hamilton, Editor
All of these episodes are fantastic, but Eddie’s interview really struck me. The weight of doing right by a movie with the additional weight of being respectful to a well-known set of characters and their universe could’ve easily broken the whole team. But it didn’t, and Eddie readily acknowledges the help he received from others, including Chris Lebenzon, one of the original editors of Top Gun.
Top Gun: Maverick is a miraculous achievement and getting Chris McQuarrie, Eddie Hamilton, Joe Kosinski, and even Tom Cruise to share these tidbits feels equally miraculous for all the film lovers out there.
