Christopher Rouse (born November 28, 1958) is an American film editor who won the Academy Award for Film Editing and the BAFTA Award for Best Editing for the film The Bourne Ultimatum (2007). His father, Russell Rouse, was a writer, director and producer. His mother was actress Beverly Michaels. In the 1980s, Rouse worked as an assistant editor on numerous films, commencing with All Summer in a Day (1982). His first editing credit was for Desperate Hours (1992) which was directed by Michael Cimino. Much of Rouse's work in the 1990s was for television. He edited the mini-series Anne Frank: The Whole Story (2002) for which he was nominated for an Emmy Award.
The Bourne Ultimatum was the third film directed by Paul Greengrass that Rouse has edited. The Bourne Supremacy (2004) was their first collaboration. Rouse had previously been an "additional editor" on the initial film in the Bourne series, The Bourne Identity (2002), that had been directed by Doug Liman. Frank Marshall, who co-produced the Bourne series, recommended Rouse to Greengrass.[1] The editing of their second feature together, United 93 (2006), received the BAFTA Award as well as nominations for the Academy Award and the ACE Eddie Award. Several interviews of Rouse have been published where he discusses the editing of Greengrass' films.[1][2][3]
Greengrass is noted for a "cinéma vérité" style of filmmaking that uses several handheld cameras, and that creates opportunities for innovative editing. Ellen Feldman has written a detailed analysis of the editing of United 93.[4][5] David Bordwell has discussed this aspect of the films as a further extension of "intensified continuity", which is a perspective on filmmaking that Bordwell has been developing for some years.[6]
Rouse has been elected as a member of the American Cinema Editors.[7] His next film will be Green Zone, which is also directed by Paul Greengrass.
