Peacemaker

Editors - Fred Raskin ACE, Greg D'Auria and Gregg Featherman PEACEMAKER editors Fred Raskin ACE, Greg D'Auria and Gregg Featherman have worked together going back many years, just never all together on the same project.  For the HBO Max spinoff of James Gunn's THE SUICIDE SQUAD, the three have combined their collective talents to create a series that balances comedy, action and drama with Gunn's signature style. PEACEMAKER is an American television series based on the DC Comics character Peacemaker. It is the first DC Extended Universe (DCEU) television series and is set after the events of THE SUICIDE SQUAD.  The series follows jingoistic killer Christopher Smith / Peacemaker as he joins "Project Butterfly"; a black ops squad that targets extra-terrestrial parasitic butterfly-like creatures. FRED RASKIN ACE In looking for an editor and Associate Producer for his first DC tv series, James Gunn had to look no further than an old friend from his Marvel days, editor Fred Raskin.  Fred worked with Gunn on both Guardians of the Galaxy films, as well as Peacemaker's origin film, THE SUICIDE SQUAD (2021).  In addition to his work with Gunn, another prominent director that Fred is known to cut for is Quantin Tarantino.  Fred handled the editorial duties for Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight and, most recently, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. GREG D'AURIA Editor Greg D'Auria has crossed paths with Fred Raskin on more than one occasion in their careers.  Also a veteran of the "Quentin Tarantino Extended Universe", Greg has worked as assistant and editor on films such as KILL BILL: VOL 1 (2003) and DJANGO UNCHAINED (2012).  D'Auria also lent his editorial talents to films like FAST & FURIOUS 6 (2013) and F9: THE FAST SAGA (2021). GREGG FEATHERMAN While PEACEMAKER marks the first time that Gregg Featherman has worked with Raskin, he was assisted by editor Greg D'Auria on the films MUSIC OF THE HEART (1999) and TEXAS RANGERS (2001).  Although the earlier part of his career was primarily in feature film, Featherman has spent most of his career editing tv series such as; ENTOURAGE (2005-2011), SHAMELESS (2013-2015) and JANE THE VIRGIN (2015-2016).
