Tell us what you though of the episode

🎙️ On this episode of the Kingdom of Dreams Podcast, I sit down with film editor Tom Eagles to talk about Nuremberg, directed by James Vanderbilt.

Tom shares how he shaped the film’s powerful narrative by weaving in historical footage and allowing key moments to breathe, holding on tension rather than cutting away too quickly. We discuss the challenges of working with extensive coverage, and how his collaboration with Vanderbilt helped sculpt a story that feels both grounded and urgent.

It’s a thoughtful conversation about editing, restraint, and why such a compelling and meticulously crafted film was ultimately overlooked during the Academy Award nominations.
Tom Eagles is a New Zealand–born film editor known for his precise, emotionally grounded storytelling and versatility across both large-scale blockbusters and intimate character-driven films. He gained international recognition for his work on Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Film Editing. Eagles has also edited major studio projects such as Thor: Ragnarok, where he balanced fast-paced action with comedic timing and strong character arcs. With a background in both narrative and documentary filmmaking, his editing style is defined by rhythm, clarity, and a deep sensitivity to performance, making him a sought-after collaborator for directors looking to blend heart, humor, and cinematic scale.
