Billy Weber is an American film editor with more than twenty film credits dating from Days of Heaven (1978).
One of Weber's first editing roles was as associate editor (as William Weber) on Terrence Malick's first feature as a director, Badlands (1973). Badlands was edited by Robert Estrin; Weber edited Malick's next film Days of Heaven (1978). Malick's third feature film as a director came twenty years later with The Thin Red Line (1998); Weber, working with Leslie Jones and Saar Klein, edited that film as well. Weber served as associate producer on Malick's next film The New World, but not as editor. He is currently editing Malick's latest work, The Tree of Life.
Beyond this notable collaboration with Malick, Weber has edited Beverly Hills Cop (directed by Martin Brest-1984), Top Gun (Tony Scott-1986) and Midnight Run (Brest-1988).
Weber has been nominated for the Academy Award for Film Editing for Top Gun; he was nominated again for an Academy Award, as well as for an ACE Eddie Award and the Satellite Award, for The Thin Red Line.
