Chatting with Mo Henry, an old friend and Hollywood’s reigning Queen of Negative Cutting, (her credits read like a TOP 100 movies list  – everything from Spider-Man and Harry Potter to Shrek…)  who’s crazed working on “The Dark Night,” the new Batman out in July. She told me that director Chris Nolan is doing it all “the old-school way – no digital dailies, and I’m cutting neg the old-fashioned way too. There’s no DI and no fixing stuff in post.”  Another very unusual thing – Mo’s cutting half the film on 35mm while the other half’s being done on IMAX and then the two halves will be married seamlessly. “The editing crew’s just amazing and it looks fantastic – people will definitely comment on just how beautiful the film looks,” she adds. She also told me that Heath Ledger is “incredibly scary and disturbing” as The Joker. “What a great loss to cinema.”
