The Creator is one of the biggest original sci-fi films in a genre that’s been largely defined by established characters and concepts in recent years. The film centers on Joshua (John David Washington), a former soldier living in a future defined by artificial intelligence. While the Pacific nations have embraced robots as a key part of culture, the United States has waged war on the very concept. His mission to be reunited with his wife Maya (Gemma Chan) leads him to Alfie (Madeleine Yuna Voyles) — the first of a new class of living A.I.The expansive and exciting film is daring in all the right ways and a bold experiment from one of cinema’s most illustrious modern sci-fi filmmakers. During an interview with CBR, The Creator Director/Writer Gareth Edwards discussed how his experiences on Star Wars: Rogue One impacted his approach to his latest film, the importance of finding the right performer to play Alphie, and the value of experimenting with ideas during filmmaking.Gareth Edwards: There are a million lessons you learn from doing any movie, especially a Star Wars movie. One of the things I really was happy with in Rogue One was when we went to real locations. We went to the Maldives, [and] it is really difficult shooting there. We went to Wadi Rum Valley Jordan. We actually filmed in a train station in London and then digitally changed it afterward. Normally on a big movie, you get a handful of times you’re allowed to leave the studio, and everything else is green screen. I wanted to make a film where every single scene is a real location, as much as possible. I managed to tilt the studio into making this film, where we shot in eight different countries. We went to so many different locations. We traveled 10,000 Miles. We went to the Himalayas, Indonesia. It was just an excuse for a holiday, basically [Laughter].
