Martin Allan Kloner (born 4 April 1963; age 61) is the visual effects editor for Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness. He previously worked with the film's producer and director, J.J. Abrams, on Paramount's 2006 hit, Mission: Impossible III. Like Star Trek, Mission: Impossible III featured special effects by Industrial Light & Magic, editing by Maryann Brandon and Mary Jo Markey, cinematography by Dan Mindel, production design by Scott Chambliss, music by Michael Giacchino, and writing by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci, among many other connections.
Kloner broke into show business as an assistant film editor, working on films such as The Mighty Ducks, Bad Girls, and Inspector Gadget (with the latter featuring René Auberjonois and Andy Dick). His first two films as a visual effects editor were Vertical Limit (2000) and Reign of Fire (2002), both starring Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Alexander Siddig.
Kloner has also edited the effects for 2003's Scary Movie 3 (2003), 2005's Son of the Mask(2005), Underdog (2007), and The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008).
