Excellent interview, thanks. It's always interesting to hear someone who's not the director or one of the actors.

[@bspeiser]

I love how you're doing so many on Sicario, it's a really impressive and unique movie. And I always enjoy your interviews.

[@plasticvision]

he's edited so many of my favourite films over the years (work with mcqueen and villanueve), this is great!

[@Pengroves]

Another great interview. And I caught thast Dorian Gray joke at 26:20, heh

31:20 Science Fiction Film? Guess he is in for Blade Runner!!!!

[@AustinTolin]

+Danny Guy he mentioned Amy Adams... according to imdb, it's a sci-fi film called Story of Your Life. Wouldn't be surprised if he works on BR2 though.

[@m3gadinum8]

Austin Tolin wow! thanks for telling me didnt know denis have another sci fi movie in works

[@maasaloo]

+Danny Guy Your first clue was him mentioning Amy Adams, man. She's not in Blade Runner 2.

[@m3gadinum8]

asten allen yeah I didnt focus on the part where he was talking about Amy Adams and I wasnt aware of Denis making a scifi movie before Blade Runner

[@maasaloo]

+Danny Guy No problem dude. Folks seem to forget Denis has another movie to come out before Blade Runner. Which is kinda understandable I guess.
