Editor - Mark Sanger ACE, BFE JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION editor Mark Sanger ACE, BFE not only faced the challenge of editing a big action blockbuster, but also a film that was; a sequel to JURASSIC WORLD: FALLEN KINGDOM (2018), the sixth installment in the Jurassic Park franchise, the third and final film in the Jurassic World trilogy, and the conclusion to the storyline started in the original Jurassic Park trilogy.  Thankfully, Mark had plenty of experience working on big action franchise films.  Mark began his career as an assistant working on Bond films like ;TOMORROW NEVER DIES (1997) and THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH (1999), and also director Stephen Sommers' THE MUMMY (1999) and THE MUMMY RETURNS (2001).  As a lead editor, Mark helmed the Avid for TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT (2017), MOWGLI: LEGEND OF THE JUNGLE (2018) and POKÉMON: DETECTIVE PIKACHU (2019).  Amongst all these big films, the critical highlight of his career would come in 2014, when Mark would win the Oscar for Best Film Editing for his work on GRAVITY (2013). The plot of JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION is this...Four years after the cataclysmic volcanic eruption on Isla Nublar and the Lockwood Estate incident, de-extinct dinosaurs freely roam the earth, causing environmental upheaval and human deaths. With government approval, Biosyn Genetics has established a dinosaur sanctuary in Italy's Dolomite Mountains where they conduct genomics research, ostensibly seeking groundbreaking pharmacological and agronomic applications.  The film stars an ensemble cast including Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill, DeWanda Wise, Mamoudou Athie, BD Wong, and Omar Sy.  Dern, Goldblum, and Neill reprise their roles from the Jurassic Park trilogy, appearing together for the first time since the 1993 film JURASSIC PARK.
