From mayhem to meaningful, John Wick: Chapter 4 editor Nathan Orloff breaks down the edit.
Editor’s note: The following contains John Wick: Chapter 4 spoilers.
Editor Nathan Orloff is the man who helped turn the mayhem in John Wick: Chapter 4 into a dramatic, enchanting dance. The film is the longest entry in the franchise, yet it doesn’t feel like it. Not only is the direction of Chad Stahelski’s action sequences constantly engaging, with the longest action sequence of the film reaching about 40 minutes, but the film’s pacing is confident and unwavering which makes the action meaningful.
This is what you expect from a seasoned editor who has worked on action films before, but John Wick: Chapter 4 was Orloff’s first time taking on a big-budget action film, taking over for editor Evan Schiff who working on the last two installments of the franchise. From small yet meaningful conversations to intricate action sequences, Orloff worked his magic to help create one of the best action films since John Wick (Keanu Reeves) stepped onto the scene.
