Stuart Baird (born 30 November 1947) is an English film editor, producer, and director who is mainly associated with action films. He has edited over twenty major motion pictures.

Biography

Stuart Baird a débuté comme monteur sur les films de Ken Russell.

En 1976, il travaille sur le film La Malédiction, ce qui va entraîner une longue et fructueuse collaboration avec le réalisateur, Richard Donner.

Son travail sur les films Superman, le film et Gorilles dans la brume, lui valent respectivement une nomination à l'Oscar.

En 1989, il devient Directeur du département Montage à la Warner Bros. et supervise plusieurs films, dont Robin des Bois, prince des voleurs et 58 minutes pour vivre.

En 1996, il fait ses débuts dans la réalisation, avec le film d'action Ultime Décision et réalise deux ans plus tard US Marshals, la suite du film Le Fugitif. On peut remarquer dans ces deux films qu'il a dirigés, Ultime Décision (1996) et US Marshals (1998), une scène où un transport aérien subit une dépressurisation - il en ira de même dans Star Trek : Nemesis (2002). Dans ces trois films il aura collaboré avec Jerry Goldsmith pour la musique.

Il fait également parfois office de producteur exécutif, comme en 1980 sur le film de Ken Russell, Au-delà du réel (film) ou en 2001, sur le film Tomb Raider, le berceau de la vie, dont il assure également le montage.

Depuis l'échec de son dernier film, Star Trek : Nemesis en 2002, il n'a plus réalisé jusqu'à ce jour et se concentre sur son métier de monteur, notamment sur les derniers James Bond, Casino Royale et Skyfall.

After a spectacular prelude, the film begins on a train journey with Gustav Mahler (Robert Powell) and his wife Alma (Georgina Hale) confronting their failing marriage. The story is then recounted in a series of flashbacks (some of which are surrealistic and nightmarish), taking one through Mahler's childhood, his brother's suicide, his experience with anti-semitism, his conversion from Judaism to Catholicism, his marital problems, and the death of his young daughter. The film also contains a surreal fantasy sequence involving the anti-Semitic Cosima Wagner (Antonia Ellis), widow of Richard Wagner, whose objections to his taking control of the Court Opera were supposedly removed by his conversion to Catholicism. In the process, the film explores Mahler's music and its relationship to his life.

Jim MacLaine (David Essex) was abandoned by his father when he was young. Later, as a suburban school dropout, Jim leaves home and drifts through a succession of dead-end jobs until he finds an outlet for his frustration in rock 'n' roll. Tossing away the chance of a university education much to the consternation of his mother, alienated MacLaine becomes a lowly deckchair attendant before streetwise friend Mike (Ringo Starr) gets him a job firstly as a barman and then with the fun fair. The initially shy MacLaine quickly becomes a heartless fairground Romeo leaving a trail of broken hearts in his wake. Eventually MacLaine returns home to run the family store and marry his girlfriend, but despite the birth of a son, restless Jim feels the lure of rock ’n’ roll again.

At the village's church, each sister is fascinated by a particular member of the wedding party – Gudrun by Laura's brother, Gerald, and Ursula by Gerald's best friend, Rupert Birkin.

Frank Cross (Bill Murray) is a successful but cynical television programming executive for the IBC network headquartered in New York City. He has demanded the network put on a extravagant live production of A Christmas Carol on Christmas Eve to seize the ratings opportunity, forcing the network's staff including his direct assistant Grace Cooley (Alfre Woodard) to work on the holiday. When some of his decisions are questioned, he fires timid yes-man Eliot Loudermilk (Bobcat Goldthwait) on the spot. Frank's boss Preston Rhinelander (Robert Mitchum) takes the liberty of hiring an assistant for Frank, Brice Cummings (John Glover), who is transparently after Frank's job. Hours before the show is set to start, Frank is alone in his office when he is visited by the ghost of his mentor Lew Hayward (John Forsythe), who warns him of the errors of his ways and that three ghosts will visit him over the course of the night. Before he leaves, Lew causes Frank's phone to call Claire Phillips (Karen Allen), Frank's true love who he had foregone when he became a television executive. Claire comes to visit Frank, but finds him too busy with preparations for the show, though leaves him the address of the homeless shelter that she helps out at.
