It was a treat to share this conversation with Academy Award-nominated editor and composer John Ottman, whose credits include 'The Usual Suspects', 'Superman Returns', and this year's critically acclaimed 'Bohemian Rhapsody', for which John received his first Oscar nomination for Best Editing.
In our conversation we talk about John's creative process in regards to creating the musical identity of the 'X-Men' franchise, the challenges of being a composer and editor on the same movie, and how 'Bohemian Rhapsody' evolved throughout production to become the $ 845 million-grossing, 5-time Academy Award-nominated film we know today.
Make sure to catch this year's Academy Awards on Sunday, February 24th at 5PM PST!
