In 2000, Hickman worked as an assistant film editor on the U.S. version of the French film “The Middle Passage.” He worked on several TV movies throughout the early 2000s before landing what he considers his big break.
Hickman was the second assistant film editor on the feature film “Seabiscuit.” The film starred Tobey Maguire, Jeff Bridges and Elizabeth Banks, and grossed more than $148 million worldwide. At the end of “Seabiscuit,” Hickman also edited in a photo of Wilson.
Since that time, Hickman has had the opportunity to work on animated films like “Monster House,” TV series like “Eastbound and Down,” action films like “Battleship” and even superhero movies like this summer’s “Suicide Squad.”
He said, however, that his latest work on the new Star Wars movie, “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” is some of his most rewarding yet.
“The Star Wars movies are what inspired me as a kid,” said Hickman. “Growing up in the ’80s and watching those films are what made me want to get into movie-making.”
He said working on the film was a lot of fun and very rewarding.
“Just having the chance to be a part of it has a certain cool factor,” he said. “I’m very fortunate that I was able to get this close and actually touch my dreams.”
On the movie set, Hickman was in charge of taking the film and editing it to shape the movie.
“Film editors have a lot of creative input on how the movie moves along,” he said. “Directors and producers provide input as we collaborate, so we all have a creative contribution.”
Hickman said “Rogue One” is a must-see for those who were fans of the original films.
“It really captures the look and feel and the spirit of the original films,” he said. “It’s the same type of swashbuckling adventure that I remember seeing as a kid.
