Gareth Edwards, best known for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, presents an exclusive preview of his forthcoming film, The Creator, in a never-before-seen featurette. In it, the director shares his unique vision of science-fiction cinema and takes us behind the scenes of the development of this ultra-realistic universe.
The Creator transports us to a future where humans and artificial intelligence (AI) are in open conflict. The film follows Joshua, played by John David Washington, a former special forces agent haunted by the loss of his wife Maya, played by Gemma Chan. His mission? Track down the Creator, the architect of an advanced AI capable of ending this war... and potentially humanity. This formidable weapon turns out to be a superior AI with the appearance of a child.
The cast is impressive. In addition to Washington and Chan, the film features Ken Watanabe(Inception), Sturgill Simpson(Dog), Madeleine Yuna Voyles (in her first screen role) and Oscar® winner Allison Janney(Moi, Tonya). The screenplay is co-written by Edwards and Chris Weitz, based on an original story by Gareth Edwards.
The anticipation surrounding The Creator is palpable. Edwards' choice to reveal his creative process through a feature film shows his commitment to immersing audiences in his world even before the film's release. It's a bold strategy that may well pay off, given the current craze for deep, thoughtful sci-fi films.
With its stellar cast, intriguing script and Gareth Edwards' unique vision, The Creator is undoubtedly one of the most eagerly awaited films of the year. Join us on September 27 to discover this ultra-realistic universe on the big screen.
