Bob Murawski
Bob Murawski (born June 14, 1964) is an American film editor. He was awarded the 2010 Academy Award for Best Film Editing for his work on The Hurt Locker, which he shared with his wife, fellow editor Chris Innis. He often works with film director Sam Raimi, having edited the Spider-Man trilogy, Oz the Great and Powerful, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Murawski is an elected member of the American Cinema Editors and is (with Sage Stallone) the co-founder of Grindhouse Releasing, an acclaimed film distribution company specialising in re-releases of cult films. Murawski was born in Bad Axe, Michigan, and grew up in the thumb of the state. He was the valedictorian at his high school in Bad Axe, Michigan, and graduated from Michigan State University with a major in Telecommunications. Soon after graduation, he interned with Detroit-based film sub-distributor Bob Mason of Mason Releasing. Murawski then moved to Hollywood, where he worked as an assistant editor on several films, including Raimi's comic-book-inspired picture Darkman. Murawski has largely worked as a film editor, primarily for director/producer Sam Raimi, on films including Army of Darkness, The Gift, Drag Me to Hell, and the Spider-Man series of films. He also co-edited the Academy Award-winning film The Hurt Locker with editor Chris Innis. Murawski has also cut music videos for such groups as The Ramones, Motörhead, and Sublime. Bob Murawski appears in the documentary 78/52, directed by Alexandre O. Philippe, a post-modern breakdown of the iconic shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. He is represented by International Creative Management (ICM). In 1995, born out of a mutual love for rare and unseen cult films, Bob Murawski and actor/director and son of Sylvester Stallone, Sage Stallone, formed Grindhouse Releasing. Murawski continues to run Grindhouse and partner Box Office Spectaculars, both companies that restore, preserve, and distribute classic cult and Euro-horror films. The two labels have digitally remastered classic cult films such as The Swimmer starring Burt Lancaster, The Big Gundown starring Lee Van Cleef and Tomas Milian, Lucio Fulci's spaghetti-horror masterpiece, E tu vivrai nel terrore (a.k.a. The Beyond), as well as Italian cannibal films Make Them Die Slowly (a.k.a. Cannibal Ferox), Cannibal Holocaust, American cult film I Drink Your Blood (1970), and director Juan Piquer Simón's cult horror film, Pieces. Box Office Spectaculars and Grindhouse has also handled the theatrical re-release and negative restoration of director Sam Raimi's cult horror film, The Evil Dead, as well as helming the digital restorations (in association with Columbia Pictures/Sony) of the rare spaghetti western The Big Gundown and The Swimmer directed by Frank Perry. Murawski is married to film editor Christina "Chris" Innis. The two editors met while working together on the Universal/CBS television series American Gothic and married in 2008. The pair has worked together on the Academy Award-winning film The Hurt Locker and on several Sam Raimi productions such as The Gift and Spider-Man, as well as collaborating on Grindhouse Releasing/Box Office Spectaculars releases.
