From the Editor of John Wick

Many thanks to Ayako for tweeting the link!

Baldvin Þormóðsson has posted an article on Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir who has edited John Wick for Visir.

Translation Via the google translator (no copyright infringement is intended):

Ronald‘s daughter Elizabeth is a leading editor of the country and has cut many major Icelandic movies in recent years.

She has spent the past month in Los Angeles, where she cut action movie John Wick with Keanu Reeves starring. Director of the film they Chad Stahelski and David Leitch are risk actors who have made fighting scenes for films such as Fight Club, Matrix and 300.

Elizabeth claims to have approached the scene as alphamale” dance form, and that really is little difference in cutting dance and fights. While aftermath are different.

“I‘ve been watching a lot of romantic Comics since I came home. I think I’ve got testosterone poisoning. I was very close to start to shave me in the morning, “said Elizabeth, in an interview with Focus, which can be found above.

Note: There is a video clip as well but it is in Icelandic (?). The Wick part starts around 10:25. It contains some photos of her working with both Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, photos of her editing the film and set photos of Keanu that we have seen before. The printed write up that accompanies the clip appears to be the nuts & bolts of the interview. The lady is very epressive when she talks and appears to have said a whole lot more than what was printed. If any readers speak the language and can add anything, that would be great.
