The Creator’s “dangers of AI” narrative, despite being set in the far future, proved more relevant in today’s economic climate than director Gareth Edwards anticipated.”When I started writing this four years ago, the biggest note I got from everybody was, ‘But why would you ban A.I.? Why would anyone do that?'” Edwards revealed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. As a result, “It was a real hurdle getting everybody over that line to see why A.I. might be a bad thing. Cut to today, when the film’s coming out, and it’s hilarious watching the opening few minutes of the movie because you’re so already there.”In those four years, artificial intelligence-generated media has grown into a source of contention for Hollywood stars and writers, with the now-concluded WGA strikes establishing new guidelines against using AI to write or rewrite scripts. While The Creator tells a more dystopian tale, Edwards teased how its morally complicated relationship between humans and AI beings “just makes the film more resonant, I think. But now it feels like we’re preaching to the choir in this first scene of the movie.” Additionally, he cited the beloved Japanese manga Lone Wolf and Cub as a key inspiration for protagonist Joshua’s (John David Washington) relationship with the humanoid AI Alphie (Madeleine Yuna Voyles), stating, “When I saw that for the first time, it was just a glimpse of a few shots on TV late at night, somewhere in the early 2000s. I was just so gripped by that idea of an ancient, jaded warrior and a little kid that I was like, ‘I have to find out what this series is.’ So, I did the research, I got all the films and the manga books.”RELATED: The Creator Is a Sign of What Post-Strike Hollywood Could Look Like
