'The Creator's Gareth Edwards May Have Solved Hollywood's Budget Problems
The Big Picture One of the most exciting upcoming films in the realm of original-concept science-fiction has got to be Gareth Edwards' The Creator. Hitting theaters this September, The Creator is set in a world where humanity is at war with highly advanced artificial intelligence.
EDWARDS: Genuinely, not to get sidetracked, there is a way trailers seem to function that I really am obsessed with, where they can tell stories and get storytelling done so quick, and they don't get locked into this thing of like, "Wide shot, over your shoulder, over their shoulder, conversation." It's all abstract dream-like stuff that just jumps around, and you can follow it. In my mind, I'm like, I just want to do a whole movie like that.
Would you describe the film as a cautionary tale regarding AI or is it more so the film heavily leaning into presenting AI as "the other"? And then I imagine it could be something that gets richer and richer with every rewatch, where it leaves the door open for your feelings about it and your interpretation of it to change, which is very exciting.
There's certain things if you said like, "Okay, predict out of all these things -- jet packs, going to the moon, whatever -- what are the things that you think science fiction is gonna achieve in your lifetime?" I didn't really have AI as a definite. I thought we might land on Mars again maybe before I died.
I wanted to make sure to talk about your production process. I'm fascinated by the idea that you went to a bunch of different countries and then you did a lot of the work in post to really build out this futuristic scenario. A hot topic of conversation right now is over-spending on films.
