Garreth Edwards takes on the mantle of Director, Writer, and Producer of The Creator. The film is the latest entry in the filmmaker’s stellar career of sci-fi reinvention, which has taken him (and audiences) into the jaws of monsters and to galaxies far, far away. The new movie focuses on Joshua (John David Washington), a former special forces agent who lives decades in the future. In this world, Artificial Intelligence has become a highly controversial aspect of life. In the United States, AI has been largely outlawed — but in the Eastern Hemisphere, AI has steadily become an accepted part of society, with robots living side by side with humans. This has led to increased tensions and military intervention.Still reeling from a great personal loss amidst his undercover work in the robotic movements in the Pacific, Joshua finds himself serving as the unexpected protector of an advanced AI in the form of a child named Alife (Madeleine Yuna Voyles). The film leans into a gritty, down-to-earth presentation that benefits its central story. Described as Blade Runner meets Apocalypse Now by Edwards, the filmmaker revealed it has only become more relevant and pressing as its Sept. 29 release date approaches. During a Q&A attended by CBR, Edwards discussed the origins of the sci-fi epic, the importance of assembling the right cast for the film, and how the story has become increasingly relevant.Looking back at the origins of The Creator, Edwards explained how after finishing Rogue One, he and his girlfriend went on an extended drive to visit her family in Iowa. Edwards recalled how “As we were driving through the Midwest and all these farmlands with tall grass, I’d be looking out the windows. I wasn’t trying to think of an idea for a film. But I was getting a little inspired. I saw this factory in the middle of the tall grass, and I remember it having a Japanese logo on it. I was thinking, ‘I wonder what they’re making in there.’ With my tendencies, I was like, “Probably robots.” Imagine you were a robot built in a factory. Then, for the first time ever, you got to step outside into the field and look around to see the sky. I wondered what that would be like. I thought that would be a really good moment in a movie.”RELATED: Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal Unite in the Trailer of Dystopian Sci-Fi Drama FoeRELATED: The Wheel Of Time’s Rosamund Pike And Josha Stradowski Share Insights On Moiraine And Rand
