Audiences have been watching the work of William Goldenberg for decades. As one of the great editors of our generation, Goldenberg has helped craft features by a number of well-known filmmakers. He's been nominated for three Oscars and took home Best Editing for Ben Affleck's Argo. After a star-turning editing career, Goldenberg turns his eyes on the director's chair as he once again teams up with Affleck and producing partner Matt Damon for his feature directorial debut, Unstoppable.
Unstoppable tells the true story of Anthony Robles (played by Moonlight's Jharrel Jerome), a young man born without a right leg with dreams of wrestling. Despite his struggles growing up in a volatile household, Robles aims to earn a place in a US Division 1 team and competes to win. Unstoppable is both a sports drama and a heart-filled family story starring Jennifer Lopez, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña and Don Cheadle, and the real Anthony Robles himself as Jerome's wrestling double.
Goldenberg and stars Jerome, Cannavale, and Cheadle stopped by the Collider studio at the Cinema Center at MARBL to talk with Steve Weintraub after the world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. During this interview, they discuss why Unstoppable isn't just a "cookie-cutter" drama, why villains must have dimension, and growing as a family while filming. Steve also asks the group about fan favorites like Heat, Marvel's Avengers: Secret Wars, and the Spider-Verse trilogy
